In thanks for telling and tagging me!Go check out my new log if you get a chance
Very slowly! LolGetting There !!
Thanks...overall, tbh, I haven’t seen much change at all. Maaaaaaybe a little bit in my legs. I actually feel like my shoulders have shrunk. I know it’s too early to tell, but I feel like my shoulders were responding fairly well to me hitting them from all angles. Now, I will also say, I haven’t been eating in a surplus- so I don’t expect to really gain a lot of muscle. Just recomp. I just started taking phentermine Friday too.Not so sure about the very slowly... You are making great progress and full body workouts are taxing and the fatigue from each lift builds on the next so what may seem slow is relative to the type of workout this is. How are the muscles responding is the real question, are you seeing any difference in physique?
Absolutely no doubt in my mind the shoulders will look better being hit from all angles. Also shoulders love extra volume. You might try adding in some feeder sets of raises, pressing is only going to get the front delts for the most part. Maybe do 1 light weight AMRAP set of side a and rear delt raises at the end of each workout and I bet they fill out like a mofo! That or alternate doing one of them after each workout.Thanks...overall, tbh, I haven’t seen much change at all. Maaaaaaybe a little bit in my legs. I actually feel like my shoulders have shrunk.

Ok great! That’s what I was thinking. Just wasn’t sure with this new style of training if I needed to just keep doing the very small amount. I have been adding in more shoulder work at least 1 day a week.Absolutely no doubt in my mind the shoulders will look better being hit from all angles. Also shoulders love extra volume.

Kat definitely listen to kleen! The man knows what he is talking about for sure! Man of so much knowledge I often times just creep his logs just to pick up some tips and tricks of the trade. Hella good dude as well as you already know I'm sure.Ok great! That’s what I was thinking. Just wasn’t sure with this new style of training if I needed to just keep doing the very small amount.

You are one of my favorite people to help. You listen, absorb and execute which is very refreshing!FR! I always love when lays it all out! He’s helped me SOOOOOOOOO much since I met him!!!
Awesome, I always love your pics from your trips. Enjoy the down time, it's good for the body and soul!Squat rack was taken both Monday and Wednesday. So leg press and smith Deads it was. Great workout both days though- it’s been nice to move the heavier weight too tbh! Bench up to 100, 55 on Iso lat shoulder press machine, 127 on pulldowns, and 110 on cable rows. Today, my coworker overslept so I had time to add in some extra shoulder work as well as abs...We are started our annual camping trip tonight so, no lifting of Friday. I typically got for hikes, walk/runs while we are here though. So, I’ll be active....and lazy too haha Plenty of hammock and fire time to go with a little exercise. I’ll be posting pics. This is always one I most favorite things each year!!
Aww good! I sure take advantage of your help!Wow thanks for the compliment @LiveToLift means a lot!

Thank you! It really is! Not sure I’d know how to camp any other way! HahaGorgeous pictures as usual! Makes me miss WVa... Okay I am over that, I like having a job! Camping Lakeside though... that is how it is done!
Alright, finished my last workout of 5’s. Still haven’t figured out how to pan out the next two weeks. Lol
Finishing numbers:
Squats 155x5 Yay!!
Romanian deads 175x5
Bench 105x5
Pulldowns 142.5x5
Cable rows 122.5x5
ISO lat shoulder press 55x5 (per side)
Ez bar curls 60x5
Ez bar close grip bench 80x5
Thanks! Not too weak but always want to be stronger! HahaYou are One Strong Chick = Respect !!
Oh perfect! Thanks! That’s what I’ve been doing. Still progressing in the main lifts thankfully! Sorry it took so long to respond! I kept forgetting!You just keep doing 5's with small increases until you aren't making progress if you don't feel beat up. Otherwise just do some cardio or light activity for 10-14 days then go back at it or into another program the focuses on progressive overload.
Haha thanks!L2LK is one tough chica no doubt about that.
What do you think is holding you back as far as squats KatBeen stuck on 170x5 on squats since last Friday! Bench and everything else is still good though!
Not real sure. Probably a combination of things. I am eating in a deficit right now, not squatting and only leg pressing for what, 2 years?...and my body seems to take turns progressing in one lift, while pausing in another. I’m not concerned just mentally want more. I will say, legs feel plenty strong to push the weight- it’s more just it feels so crazy heavy everywhere else. LolWhat do you think is holding you back as far as squats Kat
I would go ahead and plan a strategic deload for 10-14 days. Just do light activity and switch to more LISS type of cardio. Then come back to it and you will start making some more gains. Just start everything a little bit heavier on this round than you started the last one. On the lifts you are still gaining easily on make a SLIGHTLY bigger jump than the others but not much.Not real sure. Probably a combination of things.

Ok. I’ll probably go 1 more week and plan it with the end around thanksgiving. I will probably not be able to go that Friday so then it will time out well.I would go ahead and plan a strategic deload for 10-14 days. Just do light activity and switch to more LISS type of cardio.

Have your delts come back up with adding in the extra feeder sets of side and rear delt raises?
Just catching up in here but 170 on squats is damn impressive for a lady beast especially repping out 5 times. Nice job.Been stuck on 170x5 on squats since last Friday! Bench and everything else is still good though!
Not stuck so much as stalled. With this program the idea is to progress continually and shut it down on the 5s when not making the progress regularly. Really though with so many optional lifts there is no reason to continue pushing a stalled exercise. Regular Barbell Squats Stall do box squats, front squats, zerchers, even so much as change from high bar to low bar or vice versa for 3-6 weeks and go back and that squat will start moving again. That can be said for most training and better for the body as far as not consistently repeating the same movement patterns. Only time killing a specific lift is important is to get better at it, or if peaking for it for a competition or something.Your not "stuck" until it has been a few weeks
Thanks @BigRed1974Always good to see you crushing it Kat!
Ha thanks! Just seems small since I was repping 225Just catching up in here but 170 on squats is damn impressive for a lady beast especially repping out 5 times. Nice job.

Absolutely! I get a little stuck/limited sometimes with the girl that trains with me...I need to just do what I want and let her do her thing! LolNot stuck so much as stalled.

Many people train Safety Bar Squats most of the year then go to barbell squats for meet prep and still end up hitting great PRs. lots of carry over there.
