Who/where did you get your workout program from?

[/ QUOTE ]

i made it myself, but i thought of it from looking at the starting strength program and reading at many places that in order to get big, i should get good at: squats, deads, pull ups, and bench press

so i kinda mixed those two thoughts together i guess and came up with what i'm doing now. i probably shoulda gone with a pre-made workout from someone who knows what they're talking about, but w/e.

Just for reference, I do 51 and 61 reps respectively on my two workouts (if I include pullups and dips). You did more than 100 reps on one day.

So I'm probably lifting closer to my 1 rep max than you are (I have to be), you are doing more volume. I'm not saying it's bad, just different.

well, my base lifts (squats, press, pull up) have 56 reps total.
then i have those two extra little isolation exercises that give me 48 reps between the two.
i've always looked at it as i'm going to the gym mostly to do those 3 base lifts, and then i add in the 2 isolation exercises like many people add abs to the end of their workout.
so i guess i don't really count the isolation exercises as part of my "load." i dunno. is this wrong to think this way?

I'm not an expert, so I wouldn't know. It seems like you can handle the two accessory lifts.

I was more curious about what the rest of the program looks like. What do you do in a week/other workouts? How does progression work?
