  • Start date Start date
i do my chins on Wednesday after the deads...

dips, curls and tri ext on Friday, but don't spend alot of time on them... bang them out in 15 minutes max...
 
It sucks having a gay college gym, NO POWER RACK!!!
I have to squat from the BENCH!!!( yes the bench, you can only imagine how gay it is, sometimes I just clean and jerk it to behind my head, I can do it since I just started 5x5 and the weights are light, im moving home where there is a power rack :) ) Today is Friday So ill post my numbers up and other stuff soon.
 
Alright todays workout went quite well. I kind of messed up the SKULL CRUSHERS, I put 2.5's on instead of 5's for the second set, oh well. Are the dips supose to be close or wide? I did both....also the new "barbell rows" That are from the floor are insane.

FRIDAY:

Squat-105,125,145,165 /190 /145
Bench-95,115,135,155 /180 /135
Barbell Row-55,75,95,115 /140 /95

Dips 3x8 with 10l on my feet.
Barbell Curls 3x8, 40, 50, 60 lbs
 
Personally, I always do dips with a shoulder-width grip because it's most comfortable for me.....I would suggest no wider than shoulder-width for this workout because I am presuming you're doing them more for some direct triceps work.

Yeah, those de-weighted rows are crazy....I am doing them for the first time now and I am liking them a lot. On Tues, I was like wtf??? but, today they felt awesome.
 
you should try and do the same weight for all 3 sets of curls...

progress week to week, not during the workout...

Why should he try and do the same weight for all 3 sets and not ramp up like he has been doing ?

I second this....?
 
Really, with the curls and the 'extra' work, I don't think you can go wrong either way. You're not training for a big curl or a big skull crusher. In my opinion, as long as you don't over-do them and have the soreness effect your main workouts, just progress with them however you like. Worry about progression of the main lifts and don't let the accessory stuff stress you out.
 
MONDAY:

Squat- 105,125,145,165,190
Bench- 95,115,135,155,180
Barbell Row- 55,75,95,115,140
Hyper extensions- 25lbsx15, 25lbsx15
Chins-16,10

I also did abs and obliques.

Today was good, my squat felt better than ever. Everything felt good for that matter. Next week im going to bring up the starting weights I think. I'm never really "sore" but I'm never really "healed" feeling, it's very different, but so far I really like it.
