Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n on the medium days you're meant to test next week's heavy weight for 3 reps... i've looked over my log, and stuff started getting harder after i added cardio, in both cycles of the program. i'm just going to...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n The first time I ran the program was for 10 weeks and I only increased the squat from 105kg to 107.5kg. I believe this was because I was doing HIIT 2x a week as well. I got sick, then ran the program a...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n Hey Dj, I'm switching the squat (and only the squat) over to 3x8s (5x5 is just not going up anymore). For the HEAVY day it's just 3x8. For LIGHT days, can I leave it at 4x5 (20reps), as long as the total work...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n Hey guys, Long time no see. The last time I replied was probably 10/9 weeks ago when I decided to restart the program because I thought I was overtraining. It turns out that I had caught a really nasty cold...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n I didn't want to turn into a fat slob that had trouble breathing... :verygood: To be honest, I think its more work than cardio... anyways I'm dropping cardio completely and going to move the program to suite...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n I don't know what to make of it but I'm guessing it's better to be safe than sorry. My joints were aching, my legs felt dead and I couldn't really move properly. I also kept falling asleep throughout the day...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n Yeah I'm just going to take a week and a half off from the gym (I haven't been away from the gym since last december). When I get back I'll reorganize the program around my work schedule and probably reduce...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n Scratch that, I woke up today after 14 hours of sleep and am feeling so fucking tired. My head feels like its about to explode and I can't move at all. I think this is overtraining.

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n Hey dj, Just did 107.5kg x5 for the heavy day and I kinda struggled with it. My weight has stayed the same over the past 2 weeks. I can't believe I didn't mention this before but I just thought of it in the...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n That makes sense. Now that you mention it, the wednesday squats (the last set) did fell tough. I tried 105kgx3 (this is the weight that I did in the last week of the ramp up phase (wk1-5)) and it was...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n Yes, I've been doing some HIIT/sprints on tuesdays and thursdays (although I've stopped cardio doing cardio since this week) and I have a job on saturday that requires me to walk around from 9-4pm.

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n I was sitting in the hole with heavy weight to make sure I wasn't relaxing. I got someone to check and my chest was up the whole time while I was sitting on my heels so I'm pretty sure my back was flat. I'm...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n Alright, I just finished monday's workout and missed 110kgx5 again (for the third time now). I only got 4 reps and couldn't get the 5th up, but I did another 2 reps after a few minutes rest to make sure I was...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n djeclipse, what do you think about sitting in the hole with heavy weight for the squat? I tried this with 100-130kg on Friday (I got 110kgx4) to make sure I wasn't collapsing at the bottom. I sat in the hole...

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n Power clean is going up but starting to get a lot harder High pulls are still going up Bench is still going up I missed military press @ 65kg. Only got 3 reps. My previous 5RM was 60kg though, and I don't...
