SL to SS

current stats:
squat 215x3x5
OHP 100x3x5
pendlay row 95x3x5
weight: 213.4 lbs

I switched from doing Mehdi's Stronglifts program to Rippetoe's Starting Strength

Goals:
Consistency, achieving perfect form/control, work my weights up with good form.

finishing up week 10!

As the title suggests, I'm finishing up week 10 today with workout B.

Today's lifts:
Squat 215x5x5
OHP 110x5x5
Deadlift 235x1x5

I need to be careful on the OHP, very easy to fall backwards and put unnecessary strain on my back.

I weighed in today at 221.6. Now that the weights are getting heavier I'm hoping to start shedding some fat. We'll see, I'm curious to see what happens... I've been trying to stick around 2500 calories by eating smart (fresh fruit, yogurt, milk, etc).

week 9, workout A

Today I start week 9

week A, all 5x5

squat - 190
bench - 130
BBR - 120

Last wednesday I did 5x5 of overhead press, which was great.

finishing up week 8, workout B

Weighed in at 221.2 today, so need to cut back on the sweets and snacks for a couple weeks.

workout B:
Squat 175
OHP: 105
DL: 205

Current accessory lifts levels:
Tricep extensions: 70x3x8
Bicep Curls: 75x3x8
chest flye: 105x3x8
lat pulldown: 105x3x8


Next time I do my accessory lifts I'm going to add "delt decs" to help with shoulder development.


I'm thinking about ending each workout with pushups, just one set until failure.

workout A; OHP failed

Today is workout A, all 5x5

Squat: 170
Bench: 120
Barbell Row: 115

On Saturday I did workout B. Everything was fine except the overhead press. Stalled on the 3rd set. So on Wednesday I'll try 105 again. There are ways to improve OHP, so I'll have to do some research.

week 8, workout B

Week 8 of Stronglifts 5x5 starts today!

Today's lifts:
Squat 5x5 - 165
OHP 5x5 - 105
DL 1x5 - 195

The weights are getting heavy!

On Wednesday my weights for Bench Press moved up to 115 and Barbell Row moved up to 110.

I weighed in the other day at 219.0.

Running has been going well too, I ran a 15/5 split the other day with no problem. I'm looking forward to a run on either Saturday or Sunday.

Wrist is at 90%!

back on track with workout A

Last night I did a running workout on the treadmill.

Warm up walk - 5 minutes (3MPH)
Run - 15 minutes (5.5 MPH)
Walk - 5 minutes (3.5 MPH)
Run - 15 minutes (6, 5.5, 8.1 MPH)
Walk - 5 minutes (3.3 MPH)
I went 3.64 miles and burned 592 calories!

Today is workout A
Squat 5x5 - 160
Bench 5x5 - 110
BBR 5x5 - 110

The wrist is feeling much better but I'm going to keep the brace on as a precaution.
