how does this 5x5 look...

[Ceros]

How does this look? I've never done one and just checking to see how well you think this will work. This is for 8 weeks, and each slash represents going to the next week with a different weight. And for the situps, that's the amount of more reps done.

[tehkevroy]

im doing same as you bro except for tris and bis man im doing a day for em im using saturday

and yes your weighs seem to grow up nicely but something I find funny its your weighs from row/bench for me I bench 170 when i do 5x5 and I only row 125

and your god strong at military dont know why im doing only 105 im doing em seated that's maybe why =)

Keep going this routine till you get stuck that what im doing I've been workout for like 9months now my started weigh was those following

Starting(22 March 2007):Current Weighs:149lbs
Bench:95
Dead:135
Squat:135
Military:75
Row:65

Now...
Bench:170
Deads:225
Squat:205
Row:125
Military:105
im my current weighs is 172-173 not sure exactly well keep going bro and Give me some news about you and take cares !!!


ps:again sorry for language im french but im sure you'll understand.

 

[tehkevroy]

but for me I stick with the same weighs every set dont know why for haha if im doing wrong guys let me know !!!

 

[tehkevroy]

i think the rate in which all your sets increase is too much. every week its more intense, which is right but since every set goes up 5lbs the volume is going up alot too. use the spreadsheet on madcows geocities site, its the easiest and very effective. good luck

Were you talking to me bro or the other guys im confused !

 

[Ceros]

Yeah, Oh my God I totally forgot. I never do rows or Military Press, I just kinda guessed. Could someone give me a starting weight for that or something based of of my strengths of the other workouts...sorry I totally forgot to say that before. Yeah so I just put that in for now and was planning on adjusting it later, but I was way off from what it sounds like. So yeah, what do ya' think?

 

[tehkevroy]

ok

 

[Ceros]

Oh yeah, also I would give an extra day but I work at a restraunt as a server on Sat and Sun. Which makes Tues and Thurs my only off days, and I need those for rest and growth. Plus Sat and Sun are like a workout in itself being a server, I wore a pedometer once when I worked like 8 hours and I walked 14 miles! I was like, awesome! that's some good calorie burning there. So yeah. And after this workout I think I'm gonna do a super squat for a while.

Edit -

and oh! tehkevroy, we have like the same maxes...so I think I'll go with your weights on Military Press, and Rows.
