Sending a private message doesn't seem to be working so I'll post it here. Also maybe someone else can benefit from the info if it's publicly posted

Hey just wanted to say thanks for your info. I've been sticking to your plans religiously since you posted them and I have been feeling great

I had a couple of questions if you didn't mind

1. I'm not sure when I should be upping the weights on the program. What I have been doing currently is adding weight and lowering reps when I can do 12. Like the exercises that say 8-12 reps I will do until I can do 12 comfortably and then add weight and do them in the 8 rep range and try and do them until I can do 12 reps and then add weight the next week etc. Is that right?

2. Supplement wise I have just been taking a multi, protein powder and carb powder. I just noticed i have been forgetting to take BCAAs. I'll start taking them now but was curious how important were they and did not taking them set me back?

3. HAving problems with my squat. I always get pain in my knees when I squat ass to grass.. I've tried mobility stretches and have tried a bunch of different squatting stances, changing how my toes point, changing how far apart my feet are and I can't find any position where I can go ass to grass without knee pain. Even when I squat without weight I get pain in my knees going ass to grass. The only time I don't get pain squatting is when I just go parallel and not below. Like when I squat til my ass hits the bench and come back up I get no pain. Is there anything I can do? Squatting til the point my ass hits the bench isn't really effective is it?

If you would like I wouldn't mind sending you something over PayPal for your help
