Catchy title, eh? That'll be changed soon I imagine but it's late and I'm not at my most clever. Anywho, I got to page ten of the monster 5x5 thread and was sold. I'm now on Monday of week two of the program. So far I love it even though I managed to get a tad optimistic on the starting weights despite madcow's ample warnings.
Here's a summary of week one:
MON
Squat 5x5: 315
Bench 5x5 (yup I 5x5'd bench when I should have 1x5'd it): 255
Row( same as above): 225
abs
couple sets of BW dips
WED
Squat 5x5: 285
Standing military 5x5: 155
Deadlift 5x5: 345
Chins 5x5: bw
abs
FRI
Squat 1x5: 345
Bench 5x5: 255
Row 5x5: 225
abs
TODAY
Squat 5x5: 325
Bench 1x5: 275
Row 1x5: 245
