that was really good info! thnx guys!

djeclipse, i made a mistake.. =X sorry.

i guess i have a few options now,

1) EAT!
2) add 5lbs instead of 10
3) stay on the weight and add every alternate days
4) stay on the weight, work on the form for a while
5) hit the 5 x 5

i think i'll go from 1 towards 5 and see wat happens.

i'm getting stuck on squats so fast!! nowonder at the novice training thread i read that it says the DeadLifts would top my other workout.

i'm not sure if this is a right programme, but i'm doing that.

back to the novice thread,

Monday - Workout A
Squats - 3x5
Bench - 3x5
Deadlift - 1x5
Dips - 2 x 8-15
GHR - 2 x 12-15
Abs

Wednesday - Workout B
Squats - 3x5
Standing Press - 3x5
Pull from floor (rows 3x5 or cleans 5x3)
Pullups/chins - 2 x 8-15 (3 sets if you do the cleans)
Abs

Friday - Workout A
Squats - 3x5
Bench - 3x5
Deadlift - 1x5
Dips - 2 x 8-15
Curls - 2 x 8-12
TriEx - 2 x 8-12

wat are GHR, Curls and TriEx? and when do i add them?

do i add them now seeing that my squat is begun to slow down, so that i have more strength for it? or do i NOT add them seeing that i'm slowing down on squats so i can have more strength to work on squats?

i'm just confused...

BTW, actually, does it really matter what i do and when i do it?

What is the work out you've posted above?

It looks like a mutilation of the true madcow 5 x 5. But I don't see any plan for progression.

If you're going to move to a different program I wouldn't do the above, I would move to the madcow 5 x 5 where there is a plan of pregression. The lifts are better organised as well.

i was doing that.. the novice barbell training. which consist only of

day 1: squats, bench, deads

day 2 : squats, ohp, rows

thats it. the posted sequence was with the additional workouts.

I thought you were already doing the 3 x 5 riptone journal here?

I am not very familiar with the 3 x 5 and what exercises are recommended.

IMHO dips and Deadlift are not necessary more tehn once a week.

Not sure what GHr's are but curls are curls, lol and triex is some sort of tri movement.

 

[lanny]

wtas curls?! lOL!! and wats IMHO? yeah, i AM doing the 3x4 rippetoe, but that post i copied and paste was witht he accessories.. hehe!! i think i'll start doing dips tmr.. day 10!! =)
