I believe heavy front squatting is one of the few exercises that can do it.
Had a quite nice bench session today. Nailed the 3 sets of 85kg x 3. Then I managed to add 5kg and +1 rep on the lighter, rep work afterwards. Getting 75kg x 7 after 70kg x 8 was pretty sweet (only got 70kg x 6 last time).
Maybe all that cheese and chicken I had last night might have had something to do with it...

I'm already in a couple "physiology" classes and I love them, Don't understand what you mean about them only being enjoyable after the fact =k. Sure it's challenging, but it's actually interesting, especially when contrasted with yeast or fruit flies. I have yet to take anything that's actually anatomy based, I start that next semester. This is my subject of interest, so it's what I was focusing my biology major on regardless. I've been playing around with the idea of an exercise science minor; I'm only ~9 credits short on it, and it's the most relevant thing we have here =p.
I'm also spending time with a couple family friends who are PT's this summer, just to see how I feel about it. And yeah, I was planning to order my A&P textbook at the beginning of the summer, and starting now because I hear from people who have already taken it that the professor is miserable.

I quote the OP:
1. Weights for the beginner
If you are new to working out and your goal is muscle mass and strength, Starting Strength is one of the best routines you can do. I would strongly suggest purchasing the book because it has at least 40-50 pages on squat technique alone along with the other technical aspects of the lifts that will help you make optimal progress. The writeup, however, is online in the link below.
>> Buy Starting Strength -- great on basic lifting technique & gaining mass and strength.
>> Starting Strength wiki
>> Starting Strength 2nd edition PDF
>> Why you do SS -- the novice effect
The Stronglifts 5x5 program is a classic alternative to Starting Strength if desired. Another helpful writeup on this program.
This and loooooooooooads of food and sleep.
EDIT
@eshlow: reminds me if this study I found...
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2633336/
Key notes being that the ketosis control group had no calorie restrictions and 95% of them could elimintate/reduce diabetic medications. Quite astonishing really.

If you are new to working out and your goal is muscle mass and strength, Starting Strength is one of the best routines you can do. I would strongly suggest purchasing the book because it has at least 40-50 pages on squat technique alone along with the other technical aspects of the lifts that will help you make optimal progress. The writeup, however, is online in the link below.
>> Buy Starting Strength -- great on basic lifting technique & gaining mass and strength.
>> Starting Strength wiki
>> Starting Strength 2nd edition PDF
>> Why you do SS -- the novice effect
The Stronglifts 5x5 program is a classic alternative to Starting Strength if desired. Another helpful writeup on this program.
This and loooooooooooads of food and sleep. EDIT @eshlow: reminds me if this study I found... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2633336/Key notes being that the ketosis control group had no calorie restrictions and 95% of them could elimintate/reduce diabetic medications. Quite astonishing really.
Yeah, apparently those artery clogging fats improve cardiovascular markers...

Honestly, though, if you're asking you probably want to be doing Starting Strength instead...

I think I'm done with SS. I got a 2 plate bench, 2 plate +35's squat, and 4 plate DL.
I heard madcows is the best thing to do next, so I just wanted to try it out for 2 months or so to see where it takes me.

I don't understand "First 3 sets are the same as Monday, the 4th set is repeating the 3rd set again." Anyone care to explain?

Say on monday your squt looks like this:
5x 100,200,300,400,500
So then on wednesday your would look like this
5x 100,200,300,300
Of course theses #s are random and your sets shouldnt look like that.
