Yeah I hear a lot of talk about 5/3/1 I guess I should look into it. I'm still thinking I have a ways to go with 5x5 3x5 before moving onto 5/3/1 though. Im thinking progression is slower with 5/3/1 but not sure
need to research more
ok good morning all you crazies out there its getting real close to PR time took me a while but here I come
Deads will catch up to squat once I stall again If I can get into the 260-270s with squat this deload will have been well worth the wait :)
after this reset Ill still be squatting 3x per...
that elitefts series was great I made a couple little changes to my squat and immediately felt more 'stable' good stuff
to the OP I am right along side of you #'s wise except that its my squat and Dead that are within 5lbs of each other I am sure with time that will work itself out as I have...
not too sound like an idiot but by core and postural are you talking ab work, crunches , hypers, plank? I definitely feel ready for a change 8 months of squatting 3x per week is starting to take its toll on me
I've been doing starting strength for about 8 months but am starting to hit walls. I enjoy the simplicity of it and I like going 3 days leaving me 2 for cardio. I am looking to do a recomp.
I was thinking of switching to something like this, but not sure if I should just move on to a...
ok woke up at 5 am today and ate a quick homeade protein bar ran to the store and by 540 started the workout
decided to cut out the accessory work (dips chins and pullups) for now cause I am hitting PR's and am feeling very worked especially during squats :D
todays work
squat 3x5 235lbs
OHP...
wow this workout kicked my @$$
squats are getting heavy for me at 3x5 today was 230 lbs. I am seriously thinking about a routine change. At the least I need one 70-80% day per week. I am closing in on PR's rapidly. I was reading about a starting strength bodybuilding routine that involved a...
tell me about it at 21 I was leaving a dead end job at a glass factory going in the Army already married with a kid and one on the way -> that didnt work out so well ;)
Hey man Ive been following your log for a while and totalling enjoying the change your going through.
your pretty honest on your thread too talking about your goals very cool to read
keep up the good work I can see the progress
ok so last nights workout went well, they are starting to last around 1.5 hrs which is ok but makes it tough to squeeze in the mornings
At this point I am thinking at my next deload (4-8 weeks) I need something new and something not squatting 3x a week am I an idiot for deviating?
so...
since you say your a beginner Im going to assume that your strength is not where it should be yet. I think I would learn the basics first and build a good foundation with the classic tried and true compound lifts
look up starting strength or stronglifts both are very similar and designed for...
tonight was a cardio day so i popped in the ol p90x kenpo X
My cardio must be getting better because I'm sweating like a pig and although Im just as spent I think I put more effort into it this time around
I am not fat by any stretch of the word BUT Im making a promise to myself to never get...
Im starting to wonder if I should do another deload after my next stall or if I should move on to something else maybe madcow 5x5
Todays #'s
Squat 3x5 220
Bench Press 3x5 165
Deadlift 1x5 215
matt thanks for stopping by - the 5x5 is doing pretty good by me although after my next deload I think it will be time for a change
I'd like to get some mass, trim down the fat and get strong so I thought strength should come first
once I can get 275-300 on the squat its time to stop squatting...
