Day2. Squat-215#5*5. Clean to overhead press 95#5*5. Deadlift 245#2*5. Weighted dips 45#plate- 5*5. Weighted Pullups 25#plate- 3*5. Ab machine-130#3*10. Seated calves 2/45#plates-3*10. Single arm DB press 50#3*5.(overhead press seems a lil light so did these). Added extra exercises to traditional 5*5, plus and extra set of deads cause one seemed too little. Also on my third day will all be single leg and accessories day with light weights so I can go heavy on legs again next week. Im going to work out A and B once a week and then an accessory day. Going every other day to gym. Will see how this goes. May be more mods in future.

Sorry. I copy my notes from my note program on phone where I keep track of everything I do, and on my phone it looks ok. Just putting a log up for critiqueing. I'll try and make the rest legible. It won't let me go back and edit though.

A lil more about me.
Weight 173-/+ a few each day.
Height 5'10"
About 15-18%BF. Not sure exact.
Goals- at the end of this year(December) I would like to Deadlift in the 390+, squat around 300+ and bench 255+. And a year from now to be Deadlift in the 400's, bench 295+, squat 350+.

Just finished a self made version of ed coan bench and Deadlift program. Met my goals on it. Deadlift max is 365, bench 235, squat 285.

Diet kinda sux right now...plenty of protein and calories but because GF is pregnant I tend to eat bad sometimes.

My day 3 will be random. Mostly accessories, single leg exercises, and just what I seem to need work on and always full body. Days 1 and 2 will always have the main three in the same order with only a couple extras added. Feel free to tell me what you think or suggestions if it seems I'm doing something unneeded.

What is the point in doing a "random day"

consistency is the name of the game when it comes to lifting and by just doing whatever exercises you feel like you're loosing the consistency. By all means do a few exercises to hit weak areas but have a planned routine to follow so you can monitor progress... That's the whole point of keeping a training log

I was advised that a third day of heavy squating or deadlifts would be a lil much. So I work out legs with different lunges(which was suggested by another person for my balance). I figured I'd do 2/3 chest, 2/3 backs, and maybe 1/2/3 shoulders on top of that. It's not random as in I just wonder around but more as what I feel I need that day. If my tris don't feel worked during the week I may hit them hard with weighted dips or something. After a couple weeks on this routine I'm sure I will pretty much settle into a more fixed 3rd day. I figured two out of three days being very consistent would work, I could be wrong though! That's why this is up for advice and opinions. And thanks for yours, it will be considered.

Yep. The program is pretty basic but gives steady results especially with my Squats. I like changing my thirst day the way I did cause the the Bulgarian split Squats help a lot with my legs. They are still sore from Friday.

YEAH that's the way I like to look at it. I realize that I'm gonna hit some obstacles. Prob a lot more soon to come since I've only been hitting it hard since April. I must say I've made a good deal of progress in a couple months. Thanks for the encouragement!

Week7
Day1.

Bench press-warmup, 205#3*3,210#3*3.

Pendlay row-warmup, 175#5*5.

Squat-warmup,280#5*5.

Still can't quite get my bench up, but feels like I may be able to get more sets. Didn't have time for anything extra because the few people in there on Sunday were using exactly what I needed and I had to go to work. Started using the Pendlay row cause with the higher weight I get better range of motion. ALso on Squats the last rep of each set was kinda cheated, so may deload next week.

From My Droid!

Clean to press-warmup,125#2*5,115#3*5.

Pullups- BW3*7.

Push ups- 3*10.

Man those Squats are killing me....although everything over 265# has been a PR so ill take it. Next week will be official deload week. 20%.
From My Droid!
 
Week 7....no day 3. My daughter was born in Friday so took the whole end of the week off. Back to it on Monday with a deloaded routine.

From My Droid!
 
Congratulations...

Nice work so far. I'm hitting a wall myself and need to deload; considering hitting everything with some dynamic work (8-10 sets of 3 reps explosively at 50-60% 1RM). I know the feeling right now...
 
Thanks yall....love my beautiful little girl. Now back to business.
