I will look harder in the gym today.
I could not find a dip machine either. That’s pretty annoying. There’s a chance i’m not looking hard enough. The gym is pretty big. It’s two floors.
Is there a squat/power rack? If so, you can lay 2 barbells across the safeties and do dips that way, similar to how this guy is doing it
Yes there are several power racks
Yeah man, the clean pulls come full circle. Without the practice it’ll make the remainder of the program a bit more difficult. I absolutely suck at both clean pulls and power cleans but got the work in and they got better. I’d try to find a way to make them manageable enough to get done.
Might want to look into those door hung pull up things. That’s what I use, have had it for 2 years and it’s still holding up well enough. I think they’re fairly inexpensive… maybe $30-$40?
Awesome food man- that’s the way to do it.
Btw Pwn. I was checking out some guy’s blog. He wrote about his experience and results on deep water beginner. What a nice-looking guy. Maybe one day I’ll meet him through the internet.
Thank you jshaving
HALLELUJAH!!!
Looked harder today and found the dip machine and pullup bar
@T3hPwnisher I had a feeling I was just being a retard. Now it’s confirmed.
Go for less ugly words my dude. Happy for you though

Deep water
Week one
Friday
I fked up my bench sets from overshooting. I will not do that again
Warmup
Flat bench
135 for like 5 reps
Then 155 lbs for like 5 reps
Then 175 lbs for like 5 or 6
185 lbs for 7 reps
175 lbs for 4 reps

155 should work for flat bench next time

Lol I just gradually lost energy with bench sets. Least I finished strong.
Next time flat bench will be 155. Close grip 125 or around 135, and incline can be 85
Dips
3 sets of 0
I couldn’t do any
Pushups
3 sets of 0
I couldn’t do any
3 sets of 1 minute planks
3 sets of 20 situps
I couldn’t do any = The farthest I can get is the starting position and when I proceed with the rep I fail.
**Deep Water Week One **
Thoughts/Concerns
This first week of deep water was kinda rocky. The day of those 10x10 squats I kept cramping during sets so I hope that doesn’t happen next time. I also managed to screw up the working weight with push press and bench. I will not let that happen next week. I have been very consistent with my meals and I’m proud of that. I really just hope I get bigger/stronger from this.
You need go fix this IMMEDIATELY before continuing. If you don’t know this program is going to work, you need to pick a new one.
I will I will. It’s just that everyone at my gym is so much bigger and stronger. Then again they’re grown men and I’m still 18.
that’s a GOOD thing!
Because they know their approach will work
Yeah man, you have to buy into what Jon is selling in the book. Give it 100% effort during lifting and then hammer away at the food.
I guess this was my active recovery
I went on a walking trail with my mom today. It was very nice. I took a pic so you guys could see. It’s paved and it also cuts through the neighborhood which is cool. I also took a pic of this rabbit because I was so surprised that it didn’t run away even when I was 1 ft away from it. I guess it was used to humans.
I’m also typing this as i’m stuffing myself (on my last meal of the day). Eating is such a chore. I don’t get full I just get bored lmao.
