Todays session went very well. My training partner is feeling better so this is the first time since last week that we were able to lift together. So I was very motivated to get back in the trenches with him. Flats are the heaviest they've ever been and went real smooth. Next day 3 will have two wheels and a quarter on each side. And squats were really nice today. Was super hyped up to hit these and bang em out. Went very well today.

Me too, we have a rivalry, and compete for who will be the strongest, which allows us to push each other. At the same time, we've very happy with each others progress and don't get any kind of jealousy when one passes the other in a lift.

Week 6 Day 2

Inclines - 160x5, 185x5, 210x5, 235x5
Speed Squats - 170x5, 205x5, 240x5, 240x5
Deads - 185x5, 225x5, 265x5, 305x5, 340x3 (reset for 40 seconds) 340x2
Shrugs - 3x8x250
DB Shoulder Press - 1x6x95

My deads were harder than ever! I was actually only supposed to do 335x5 but was feeling good. So I went for a 5lb jump and had to reset my grip after the 3rd rep because it went bad. But I finished through and totaled 5 reps... But since I had to pause for so long between the reps, I will do this set once again. By the time I got to the DB shoulder presses, I was freakin' exhausted... The first time so far on this program I felt like going to sleep towards the end. Next day 2 is gonna be tough as well but will try harder than ever to get EVERY set and rep.

Oh yea bro, I definitely agree with that! Having someone there to motivate you and get you psyched out is crucial to consistent and successful progress! And like Zgzaz said, we do have a small rivalry for strength, but definitely help each other and push each other further than we are used to. Best training partner yet.

I love it. I can feel ya 100%. At about week 5 or 6 in my first 5x5 I felt like going home after squats.

Week 6 Day 3

Flats - 155x5, 185x5, 215x5, 245x5, 275x3, 280x3, 215x8
Squats - 155x5, 195x5, 235x5, 275x5, 315x3, 235x8
Rows - 120x5, 145x5, 170x5, 195x5, 225x3, 170x8
EZ Curls - 1x8x105, 1x5x105, 105x7
Tricep Pushdowns - 3x8x220

Oh HELL YEAH! Today was my milestone day... I've NEVER, EVER done that much weight on flats, squats, or rows for reps... It was awesome... I was only supposed to stop at 275 for flats today, but as soon as I was done, my training partner(zgzaz) was whispering "280, 280..." So of course, I HAD to oblige because I was feeling great! And it sure was great! A great day for me. I attribute my successes so far to three key factors... 1) Bill Starr's 5x5 training program... 2) Omega's MASS Stack... 3) this is probably the most important one, is my training partner. There's probably no way that I would be what I'm at if he didn't get me on the program and started training together. His motivation, critiquing and knowledge has guided me to lifts that I never would have been able to do.... And I'm still progressing. Its awesome to think that in four weeks, so long as I don't miss, I'll be doing 300+ on flats for reps, 335+ for squats, and 245+ for rows. Gotta keep it moving and keep eating big!

Man....you killed it in there....280x3 with some still left in the tank too...big lift! Everything else looked good too, you're progressing nicely in everything. I don't think you'll have a problem hitting 340x5 on deads next week...eat big and good job man! Many other big PR's to come...

Solid workout today. Flat bench proved to be too hard at a 10lb jump as I only got 4 reps. So I gotta stick it out at that weight come day 3 and next day 1. I will get them done tho. Onto day 2...
