the.gladiator1987's 12 week 5x5 log

[jesse_01]

With db's you tend to cheat even if you dont mean too. With a bb you cant cheat unless you use your back. Plus it looks badass curling a plate on each side

Plus it is easier for db's because you can turn your wrists a little inward, with a bb they are forced to be perfectly straight

That is true. More so if your a standing than preacher bench.

***Awesome workout again. Deadlifts were hard, Im gonna drop the weight and use perfect form. I kind of just wanted to see where I was at. I did 475x5 at a different gym, maybe the weights were lighter because 455 was heavy as fuck. DB Rows were hard as fuck i am definetly not used to high reps but I am loving it so far. Had to skip bb curls and shrugs. HOnestly im gonna take shrugs out of the routine because ive never done them, and when i saw my pullup video i dont think i really need them lol. Heres some videos from todays workout.

Videos:
YouTube - Deadlift 405x5 David
YouTube - Deadlift 455x3 David
YouTube - Pullups bodyweight x 6

Thanks for the compliment on the strength! Yeah I would love to see more comps on here, miked8c is around the same strength as me, maybe he would want a comp. Lweaver is a little older be he is always similar strength. Nice videos, your back was looking HUGE in the pullups video. Weren't you doing 475x5 on cycle? Cause that may be why 455 felt heavy, besides maybe 405x5 tired you out. BTW Brandon that other guy you work out with had lke prefect deadlift form on the 405x5 set. Is his max 455 like in that one video? Only 10 pounds more for me to catch up to him lol!

Thanks bro, i was surprised how my back was looking haha. I was doing 475x5 like 3 weeks ago but it was at a different gym maybe thats why, im not sure. I also did that after 405x5 lol. BUt whatever im dropping the weight anyway

Brandon my buddy is around the same strength as you. Hes a good endurance guy. As you could see his 405x5 deadlift was cake but 455 was pretty hard, my 405x5 was kinda hard but i did 455x3. My form was shitty though. Hes the one that has got me doing more high rep stuff, I really like it so far.

So I took Wednesday off as scheduled, Thursday off because my triceps were too sore to do shoulders, and today I worked till 11:30 PM so I am doing shoulders/legs tomorrow. Gonna go for 365x5 squat, 245x6 BB Lunge just to get back in the groove, and 205x5 BTN Military

no need to project your thoughts onto me bro. Believe it or not, your secret hasn't been safe on EF since the past the beginning of 2010, so you don't have to worry.

Have you told mommy and daddy yet?
