As the title says, 15 reps can suck my ass. It's just too much, I don't get it...I kinda of wish I did this program as a n00bie lifter. My back is killing me after 2 x 15 of squats :(

I did some extra stuff as well...cause well...I find this phasing in insanely boring. Not sure how long I'll be able to sustain this. The workouts for stage 2 and on seem legit...solid workouts...although they seem a little lengthy...at least on paper.
