First of all us super white folks need to wear some sunscreen, ok?

I'm looking forward to reading this log. You are heading down the right path with the 3x5 for sure. You're going to make great progress.

Yea, I wear sunscreen but I love being outdoors.

Anyways I'm eating about 1000-2500 calories a day more then I normally do, so I should gain reasonably fast.

My upper legs and butt are reasonably sore today, and my arms are mildly sore. So even though I did only 3 excersizes with 5reps they seemed to have done the trick.

Doesn't help the fact that I'm dying to go back to the gym but have to wait 'till tuesday due to memorial day...and an extra day recovering from my first rippletoe workout couldn't hurt either.

One thing I noticed though is I physically feel a lot better after I workout, not sure if thats normal but whatever.

Anyways I plan to proceed smart and carefully, and I hope for the best.

Workout #2 (B) 5-29-07

All excercises 3 sets, 5 reps.

1)Squat, 85lbs, +10lb increase.
2)Military Press, 65lbs
3)Barbell rows, 85lbs

Impressions

Well my glutes are still a little sore from Saturday, but decided to squat anyways and managed to do a little more wieght then last time.

Military press was okay, last set was pretty hard though.

Barbell rows where decent as well once I figured out the proper positioning, went light to get good form down.

Anyways right now I feel fine, and if I'm not to sore I will workout again thursday.

Keep working out, even if you are sore. Do 10 minutes of light cardio before the squats to get the muscles looser before you start. It also helps take the soreness away. Once you are done with the squats on the third day, you probably wont get sore legs again till you have a really hard day or bad recovery. The two day weekend is nice.

Yea, today I'm barley sore. So tomorrow even if I am sore I will still workout.

Already getting used to it!

Yea, it's nice not to have to walk funny the day after the workout.

For my second time squatting I would say not bad, since my legs are untrained I think they should advance fairly quickly, hopefully my arms will gain some as well, my deltoids/lats are slightly sore from either barbell rows or military press, I would guess the rows though.

Although right now I feel pretty good, feel like I could workout right now if I wanted to, although I'm not going to work out 2 days in a row and it looks like my lifting schedule pretty much going to be Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Might change it if I need to though.

Anyways it's really to early in training to tell how well I will do, but I'm hoping for the best!

Workout #3 5-31-07

Total I felt a little more energized, a little stronger perhaps...but I got kinda overzelous with adding wieght and had to drop it on some later sets due to fatigue, anyways here are my results.

My format will be Sets/Reps/Weight

1.Squats, 2x5x105lbs, 1x5x95lbs. +20/10 increase from last time, 30/20+ from start.

2.Bench, 3x5x105lbs, +10 increase from last time, kinda slow on last set but still held proper form down.

3.Deadlift, 1x5x105lbs, 1x5x95lbs, 1x5x85lbs, I admit I was all over the place on deadlifts and next time will start a little lower and try to stay the same weight each set (probably at 95lbs), my legs where kinda sore from Squating but still I had an increase of 30/20/10lbs over last time so who am I to complain?

Extra Stuff: 15 Incline Sit-Ups, 10 Cable Crunches, 15 Leg ups.

Only did extra stuff to waste some time.

Overall I think I am making nice progress, hopefully it will continue for some time.
