Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I don't understand "didn't go all the way down." If you don't have any pull-ups, I suggest you focus on them. Give it a week. You won't lose your chin-ups-- they tend to be a bit easier because of some additional bicep/delt recruitment. [/ QUOTE ] I meant I didn't do dead hang pullups each rep. Ok, will try that. [/ QUOTE ] Ok. But in both dead hand and kipping pullups you still need to go to full extension at the bottom-- it isn't a complete lockout at the elbows/maintain tension to protect yourself/ elbows can be a bit soft, but you do go "all the way down." |

Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
So I've got my bench/deadlift/other crap workout tomorrow. Assume I'm adding power cleans to the beginning of the workout, should I go heavy or drop the intensity a bit? I'm not sure if power cleaning every workout, 3 times a week, is going to be too much work for the lower back. I really wish I could squat.

Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
moved today's workout to tomorrow.
I get to pull 2 plates tomorrow! Anyways, today I found a pull up bar: 3 chins, 2 chins, 2 pullups, 2 pullups. Then a bit later I tried to do some more sets and kinda hurt my tricep, bleh. Hopefully it feels better tomorrow. I may just skip the pullups tomorrow. My pullup grip was kinda narrow, seems to be easier that way. |

Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
No power cleans today since I was running late.
<u>Bench Press:</u> 3x115 2x155 3x5x170 <u>Deadlifts:</u> 5x135 3x180 2x205 5x225 If I stay at the same pace it's only 3 months out till I make 3 plates. Perhaps I should try some 10 lb jumps once in awhile, I think right now I'm capable of it. <u>Chinups:</u> 3, 2 <u>Dips</u> 2x8 @ bodyweight. About 3 hrs after my workout I found a pull up bar and did pullups: 2, 2, 2 Then another hour after did 2, 2 |

Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
Woke up 15 minutes before workout, genius.
<u>Press:</u> warmup @ 65 lbs 5x85 2x95 3x5x110 I'll add five pounds again next time. The time after that I'll probably stall again. I'll reset after I can't make the same weight 3 workouts in a row. <u>Power Cleans:</u> Warmup @ 95 lbs 3x115 2x125 5x3x135 Felt good, I occasionally lose a bit of explosiveness at the third rep. <u>Chinups:</u> 2.75, 2, 2 <u>Dips:</u> 2x8 [censored] it, I'll do these every workout as well. |

Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
<u>Bench Press:</u>
6x95 4x115 3x135 2x165 3x5x175 Bar speed is getting a bit slower on the last reps, but it never stops. <u>Deadlifts:</u> 5x135 4x180 2x205 5x235 Felt like I was lifting mostly with my back. Form sucks when it's really heavy. My back stays arched the whole time, but I end up not getting enough leg drive. <u>Chinups:</u> 3, 2 Will do some more later tonight. <u>Dips</u> 2x8 @ bodyweight. |

<u>Chins and Pullups:</u>
CU 2 PU 1, 1, CU 3, 3, 2, 1, 2, 1.75, 2 These were done over a 2.5 hr span, with about 1-2 minutes between sets. Only had 2 workouts last week so that's probably why I wasn't as strong. |

Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
<u>Press:</u>
5x65 3x95 3x5x115 Last rep was almost a fail. <u>Power Cleans:</u> Warmup @ 95 lbs 2x115 2x3x140 3x3x135 I think I need to stay at this weight for a bit. Form isn't perfect anyway, and I'm losing speed because the weight is too high. <u>Chinups:</u> 3, 2, 2 <u>Dips:</u> 2x8 Some [censored] "trainer" at the 24 hr interrupted my buddy while he was overhead pressing, and some other guy who was squatting, because she urgently needed a 20 lb barbell. What a [censored], you'd think from working there you'd know not to interrupt people in the middle of a set. |
