Sculelos Madcow 5x5 Journal

[ceo]

Thanks! I am definitely getting stronger and my strength and mass gains definitely show it. I'm hoping that I can go a long time without stalling out on the 5x5, training is definitely all about eating, resting and getting all the workouts in.

I know I'm not there yet but hopefully I will be strong some day, hopefully keeping my good endurance. I can still run a 7:00 minute mile which is pretty good considering my weight gain.

As I said before my ultimate goal weight is 300lbs@12-15% bf and I should hit about 265lbs by the end of this year, hopefully keeping my fat gains in check, but I can cut fat down fast so I'm not worried.

When you hit 300 lbs., I wouldn't bet on hitting a 7 minute mile!!! lol!

265 would be awesome! Keep up the good work broheim!

dude, he's like 6'5" or so. He's tall! I'm 6'2" and I'm about the same. I can dead over 500 for reps, but squat is almost 200 lbs less than that. I can probably get 405 up maybe 2 times.

Heh, actually I don't. My last workout was just a light day. So far my max tested Squat was 200lbs for 5 reps and my highest tested deadlift was 255lbs for 5 reps. I'm betting I could do more on both right now but I gotta stick to the program, either way I'm crossing my fingers and eating like mad in hopes that I will get some great gains in the upcoming months.

I'm thinking a 275lb Squat and 350lb Deadlift are my year end goals and I'll be thrilled silly if I can hit both of them.

And remember my Strength is a little low for my bodyweight right now but every pound of lean body mass I add I'm getting stronger and I'll probably be about par when I hit 250-260 or so and probably be excelent when I'm around 300lbs.

Also not sure how fast I'll be able to run when I'm 300lbs but hopefully I'll still be able to do a mile in 9 minutes or less, lol.

I can deadlift a lot more then I can squat, I'm shorter and weigh less, but I've always been able to deadlift rediculous amounts compared to the rest of my lifts.

Some people are better at squatting, some bench, some deads, everyone is different.

but according to the novice program thread, on BB-ing, which is where i get my reading from, its absolutely dead guaranteed that if u follow the program, u're bound to dead more than u squat.. lolx.. i havnt reach where i dead more than i squat, cuz i'm squating 3 times a week. dead twice or once a week, alternate.

You're getting yout info form BB.com, that is the first mistake, lol.

As I said everyone is different, some are built to squat, some to dead, some are about even. It is not set in stone that one lift must be bigger then the other.

Indeed, lol. I already bump it 3x a week, so it's really not necessary. Thanks for posting though, heh.
