ATF Squat
120x5
145x5
190x5
225x5
255x3 (PR!!!!!!!!) ... was going to do a 5 or 7lb jump... made it a 10lb jump smooth... like buttah!
190x8

*Nothing really to say or complain about here I owned the squat rack.. it went SOOOO WELL... damn, least this makes me happy cuz bench sure as hell doest. However, i'll wake up and be in traction tomorrow morning, LOL! ... calling chiro. ASAP tomorrow*

Close Grip Bench Press
95x8
110x8
120x8
135x8
155x8 (165x6 top set last day 3... started lower this time and ramped up smoother)

*Notes.. form was slow and perfect... I wanted to slam the last set, powered... explosivley through reps 1-4 on it... it went great... banged out the rest nicely*

90* Bent Over Row
95x5
115x5
135x5
160x5
185x3 (PR!)
135x8

*Spinal Erectors said nuttin' but a peep... now my spine on the other hand... a little tweaked so gave me some shit throughout the workout, but it was fine otherwise*

Body Weight (BW) Dips
BWx8
BWx6 or 8 ... lol I'm a space cadet, I really don't know.
BWx5

*These felt really solid for the first time... I like it*

Workin' on the Railroad Hammer Curls
30's for 8
35's for 8
40's for 8 (the only alternating set)

STANDING Overhead DB Extention
40x8
50x8
55x5 ... tri's were toooooasted

*Wow my spine felt like it got compressed 3 inches ... maybe I'll do them seated next time, not sure if that'll help... but ever since 5x5 I like doing lifts without using benches, ect.. when i don't have to for my core.*

End Time: 9:05pm

Workout Rating: 7 STARS!!! Feelin' good... one of those workouts where I drive home and seriously jam out to some tunes... I mean, i'm ready to party type gettin' crazy mood lol

Thats my BRO! Looks like u took my energy yesterday. Went in to work the Deadlift and had such a shitty day. OH Well, ill DL on friday again with partners and some smelling salt lmao.

GREAT WORKOUT BRO! PROUD! How were them DIPS?! You'll have plates on in no time!

Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

first off congrats on the pr's....sounds like you had a great workout! gotta love it when your pumped about getting in there and doing some damage!!

Workin' on the Railroad Hammer Curls
30's for 8
35's for 8
40's for 8 (the only alternating set

)

next...i sometimes try and incorporate these into my training...not hammers specifically but the running the rack thing. normally, how many times would you be able to get 40's for? i always start to heavy lol

Damn... I got alot of props in hurr today THANKS GUYS! BiggT, hell yah... that's the best type of workout... a kick ass one, lol... Earth, thanks... kick some ass... i'll check out your log when i get a momment... i've been busier than a clepto in a store with no security. al... you beast you... thanks man! And CK

MM: Grasicas hombre!! Eat up bro... fuel tomorrow's DL MANIAAAAA!!! The Dips... they felt real solid for the 1st time (I've done them only a few times really) I like it. I HATE the dip station i have to use at this gym though... another gym i used to go to in the area has a station with fat bars and it's solid, looks exactly like Tweakles set up... that one kicks ass, i may sign back up there after this membership runs out for a change of scenery, lol.

JP: What do you mean "Normally" how many times can I hammer the 40's for?? lol... you mean cheat curls... shit, I can cheat curl 55's lol, prolly heavier... but it'd be all back and negative reps Please rephrase the question for my peanut brain

Upcoming workout: Week 7 Day 1 on my birthday.

I don't know how to progress with the triples... add 5 pounds? add reps?

Help.

This was last weeks Day 1 workout:
Close Grip Bench
45 (bar) x 10
115x5
135x5
190x3 (HARD!!) ... gave myself proper rest here and mental prepared to throw this next set across the room if it felt heavy...got amped up.
190x3 ... Easy... WTF?!... too big a jump, i'm guessing
190x3 ... fine, lol
155x8 ... didn't rest enough... this took a while, lol

This time around I know to do a few singles or doubles ramping up better so the 1st heavy set doesn't feel like it'll bury me.
