Workout #12, 5/9/08, Week4, Day3

Woo Hoo! Just like Sculelos I hit three PRs today.

Squat: 100x5, 125x5, 150x5, 175x5, 205x3 (PR), 150x8

Squats felt REALLY strong.

Bench: 90x5, 115x5, 135x5, 160x5, 185x3 (PR), 135x8

On the other hand, I felt weak today on the bench courtesy of my crunchy right shoulder. I barely got the last rep of the heavy triple.

Pendlay Row: 70x5, 85x5, 100x5, 120x5, 140x5 (PR), 100x5

I spaced out when I was doing the heavy triple and I went ahead and did 5 reps. Good news is: It was easy!

Nice lifts. Your squats are almost identicle to how mine went although your Bench and Military are definitely higher and your Rows and Deadlift look to be a bit lower.

I suppose we both have both been lifting for awhile. Just neither of us took it this seriously until recently.

Good job man! Your doing great.

Workout #14, 5/14/08, Week 5, Day 2

Good workout. A couple more PRs...

OHP: 75x5, 90x5, 105x5, 120x5 (PR)

Workout #15, 5/16/08, Week 5, Day 3

Another solid workout. The PRs continue.

Squat: 105x5, 130x5, 155x5, 180x5, 210x3 (PR), 155x8

Squats were pretty easy. I think I have a lot of room to improve with this lift.

Bench: 90x5, 115x5, 140x5, 160x5, 190x3 (PR), 140x8

The heavy triple was somewhat difficult. My shoulder wasn't hurting as much as it has in the past but it wasn't perfect either. Looks like this is going to be an ongoing problem that will limit my gains.

Pendlay Row: 70x5, 85x5, 105x5, 120x5, 140x5 (PR), 105x5

Rows were super easy. Definitely have a lot of room to improve here. Once again, I zoned out on what was supposed to be the heavy triple and I did the weight for 5 reps.

 

[Sculelos]

Nice improvements. Keep it up and I'm sure you will progress far.

Workout #17, Week 6, Day 2

Pretty good workout today. I went into it with pain in my left hip, though, that was leftover from Monday's workout. The pain is definitely being caused by squats. I'm not sure if my form is poor or what. Today I narrowed my stance by an inch or two and that seemed to help the pain during the lift. Perhaps I was too wide? Anyway, I hope it goes away soon or I may have to take a week off from squatting.

I hit 2 plates today on deads! I know that's nothing compared to almost everyone else here but it's a nice milestone for me. They're still pretty easy so I should be able to keep adding weight for many weeks to come. I can tell that I'm getting close to the point where I will have to reverse my grip, though.

Squat: 105x5, 130x5, 160x5, 160x5

OHP: 75x5, 90x5, 105x5, 120x5 (PR)

Deadlift: 140x5, 170x5, 200x5, 225x5 (PR)

Great job on moving steadily up on the deads!
