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

talk about it.....man, my hands can't grip shit. there's a threshold in my wrist where if i squeeze too hard, it starts to get all numb and shit.....need to have that surgery or whatever

yeah dude, i'm really all about getting in the groove with the program this time. especially after not really following the 5x5 out in principal last time....fkn ADD always gets in the way....lol
i just got out of 6 really good weeks of isolation/accessory work, so i'm primed up and looking forward to really understanding what these lifts can do properly. of course reading yours and everyone elses logs sure helps in itself.....like, i.e. important point of consistency so as to track your progress accurately and know HOW to adapt......see, i listen.

W9D3

A.M. weigh in P.P.P.H. : 214.5 lbs

Still eating quality (for the most part) often... and in great amounts.
I don't care if the scale moves much as long as my weights keep going up, i'm happy... but I know if my body comp. leans out i'd be happier too, lol... kinda what i'm hoping for...but we will see, Weigh is up overall... gaining slowly, which is good i think i've leveled off my fat gain for now.

Back is feelin' it from the Deads still.

tonight is heavy triple squat, 5x8 bench, and heavy triple row... and my misc. gheyity day to do whatever i want for bi's tri's, ect... I think my blasting of them could have helped my bench

5x8 bench topped out at 170x8 last time.... i've PR'd finally with 205x3 ... I don't want to push the 8's too much to not be able to PR a 210...

My ambitious self was contemplating 185 x 8 just so i could throw on 25's plates too, lol... but i know that's no good... ego checked.

175x8 for my top set 5x8 plan tonight ... just to keep it progressive but not overly ambitious?

i see you are staying disciplined.....nothing worse than trying to push yourself beyond the progression and possibly get set back......keep it real brotha! haha

are you doing a MWF split? so are you giving your back a break from the deads then?

It didn't. training your bench hard and progressively has helped it, along with slapping on some bodyweight.

I agree on the 175x8. Why chance missing reps? You'll have 185x8 in 2 weeks without any doubts, no need to rush.

Thanks, i'm trying, lol. Na, no MWF ("traditionally" today, my Day 3 would be a normal Friday workout)... no, no break from deads. My 3 day has gone full circle with stuff coming up ...trips out of state ect... some weeks I get extra days... i just keep it going instead of taking a full week off and resetting... i keep plugging away at it.

I'm probably a week or 2 behind if you wanted to figure it out from pushing workouts, ect.... Still makin' progress.

LOL! Shot down!! ... only a little body weight

Ok, Thanks man... I'll keep it real and focus on the long term
