| Do not use a pad. It can hurt your form, which is pretty much the most important thing when squatting. If it's hurting your shoulder BLADES it sounds like the bar is too low. You'll get used to it, the bar used to give me a little bruise sorta thing, but after a few weeks I don't even notice. |

If you need something get a manta ray pad. It aligns the bar correctly, but it doesn't actually provide the thick cushion that most pads do, which can throw off your form.

Its not on the blades, I am just not sure what to call it, its the part of your spine maybe that sticks out a bit just below your neck? |

| Yea I need to get another bar altogether for dead lifts, I am too lazy to lift the bar up onto the squat rack or take it down to do one or the other. :@ |

Yea, that site is awesome!
Yea I probably could just not be lazy haha.
Did my full body routine yesterday. Today was raining hard so I didn't go running, instead I did an extended upperbody session. 3x8 Dumbbell Flys, 3x10 Curls, 3x8 Dumbbell Press. |

| I'm trying very hard to get the motivation to workout 5-6 days a week, but right now I'm at 3, maybe 4 days a week. I do cardio, weights, and Muay Thai. |

| I decided to give myself a 2-week break, and I'm back to the routine. on top of hitting the gym and going to uni with my bicycle, I'm thinking of doing this at home. |

| Up to repping >200lbs on my deadlift, which isn't relatively all that much, but I'm pretty stoked on it. |

Basically it's as bad as every free training program in internet. |
Reason why I'm giving it a try and finding out what it is that I need to change. It's not like I'm going to do everything as it is written regardless of the results (and it really didn't feel like I was doing something my body wasn't ready for).
Yup, you read that right. My body is ready. |
