MAN!!! Thats all I can say tonight I felt great on everything I did. I couldn't believe that I got that extra set and I felt good enough to do one more. I didn't because I still want to have room to progress. But I still made a monster jump on my deads 15 pounds from last week. I look forward to going up in my squats this week as well.

 

[ZGzaZ]

Dayyum, good job on your deads today. They looked nice and strong. I'll bring you the BK crown tomorrow...

I felt really good on my flats and squats today. I think that I am finally going to see my flats go up without a stall again and my squats are still moving. 5x5 has really helped me all around my numbers have gone up so much since I first started lifting. This is my second go at the 5x5 rep scheme, I took some time off because one of my lifting partners was waiting for a back injury to heal, but now were back on track and the numbers are moving up!!!

 

[ZGzaZ]

All the numbers are movin now, let's keep it goin.

Three PR's this workout!!! The numbers are really starting to move. I felt really good until I got to curls. I think that by the time we get to them I am pretty much spent. I am going to have to deload a little bit on them and work my way back up but I will be back there in no time.

I really thought that I was going to be able to get my bench yesterday. But I guess I didn't eat enough throughout the week and didn't get enough sleep because I really wasn't into last nights workout. But rest assured I will get it by 5 next week.

I forgot that I stalled last week on 205 on incline and went up to 210 and missed on my last 2 reps. Then dropped down 5 pounds and missed by 1 rep. I'm gonna deload down to 185 and work my way back up. At least with my deads I can feel confident. Another record for me, I think i will make it to 405 before I will have to deload and work past it but im just happy that I have made it as far as I have thanks to 5x5 and good workout partners!!!

Week 3 - Day 3 - May 4th -

Squats - 4x5, 1x3, 1x8 - 180, 215, 250, 285,320,250

225x7

Rows - 140,165,190,215
240x3 *PR
190x8

Only thing I can do is deload again and try it all over again. I shouldn't have made that 10lbs jump the other day when I did. I felt really good and went for it and got it but it affected me overall.

I went to deload on my bench and my training partner told me to try it again one more time since I have already been down this road before. I did and the same thing happend, so I going to deload down to 240 and try it again. But everything else felt great and as long as deads and squats are moving up my bench will soon enough.

Man my deads are still moving up but I think I might be very very close to my max on reps. My last set was a tough one. I didnt lose proper form but I was moving slowly. I think that in about 2 weeks im going to have to deload but im trying to eat more to insure that I have enough strength to keep going.

ANY IDEAS ON WHAT I SHOULD OR SHOULDNT DO???????????????

You're doing ridiculous, keep at it.... deloads are part of the game, theyre inevitable, you cant add 5lbs a week every week forever.

Add 5lbs until you max out, deload..... work back up and through your old PR's, rinse...repeat. Recipe for success. Besides, you started around 315x5 for deads, and youre almost at 405x5 without a deload!!

Yeah your right Zgzaz!!! But I am very surprised that I finally got 255 on bench maybe I really did need that 4 days of rest because my back felt really good for squats. So I'm guessing that I should have a good lift on wednesday as well but we will see. Im gonna keep eating big to get big numbers!!!

I don't know what really happend towards the end of this workout. I kind of muscled through deads. I didn't think that I was going to be able to get it but I ended up getting it better then I got 395. Next week is going to be a new level for me 4 plates on deads who would have thought, seeing as though I started at 305 as my top set almost 3 months ago.

Curls - 3x90x8

Man it was a struggle but I finally got over the 255 hump on bench. I think a lot of it had to do with my squats and deads. Those numbers keep going up so these must. Plus I put on about 3 pounds so that has to help.

Flats - 195x12 (RP)

Seated Dumbell Shoulder Press - 55'sx10 (RP)

Behind The Neck Dumbell Extensions - 80x12 (RP)

Close Grip Pulldowns - 150x18 (RP)

Deads - 1x185x6
1x255x4
1x325x9

First Day was everything I thought it would be and more. I felt like I was going to die, but I had the best pump I have had in a longtime. I know its only going to get worse but it has to in order to get better. Myself and Zgzaz are taking a break from 5x5. We did the program for about 17 weeks and needed to change it up for about 8 to 10 weeks then we are probably going to go back to old faithful. I hope it doesnt skew my numbers that much because I still want to see progress on my deads.

I'm gonna be watching.... I did Doggcrapp training a long time ago and I liked it. Make sure you guys get the fascia stretching after every top set. If ur unsure of what that is, lemme know.
