Re: SamG\'s Log
8/25 - Workout 'A'
Squat: 1x8x45 1x5x65 1x5x75 3x5x90 I feel like my form improves a little each workout. Bench: 1x5x45 1x5x65 1x3x90 1x5x120, 1x4x120, 1x2x120 Failed 4th rep 2nd set. Racked the bar after 2nd rep 3rd set. I'll try 120 again next week. Deadlift: 1x5x45 1x5x115 1x5x150 New PR. I'm doing these with greatly improved form. I probably should've done another warm-up set, though, before I attempted 150. Pull-ups: 1x1 (unassisted) 1x4, 2x5 (assisted) My workout partner held my ankles for the assisted pull-ups. Great article, btw, thirddan.

8/27 - Workout B
I need to avoid the gym on Monday evenings. What a zoo. Probably going to start a Tues-Thurs-Sat schedule beginning next week. Preworkout: 5m elliptical Squat 1x5x45 1x5x65 1x5x75 3x5x95 +5 lbs since last workout. Back to where I was before I reset. Form felt OK -- much better than last time I squatted this weight. Focused on keeping my chest up and butt out this workout. Wei Yan, my workout partner, commented that these looked easy. I got that mild, dull pain around my tailbone after the first set, however. It went away quickly, but still makes me a little uneasy. Press 1x5x45 1x5x55 3x5x75 +5 lbs since last workout and new PR. Should I be doing more warm-ups, incidentally? Chins 1x8, 1x6 (assisted) I tried to lower myself slowly on the negative. Probably should have done more, but my arms are toasted, which is good I guess. Workout B feels much easier than Workout A. I almost feel like I'm slacking on B days. Maybe I should add in rows. About to head out to play an hour of volleyball. We'll see if I can lift my arms.

Re: SamG\'s Log
Yes. Add the rows.
Warm-up on the press looks fine. I was gonna say, you might add a triple or so at 135 on the DL, just to have a warm-up at the right height. You should probably schedule a week off here soon whether you feel you need it or not. Rippetoe probably says something about this?

[/ QUOTE ] I've been wondering about this. Most days I don't feel much at all after leaving the gym -- maybe a little tired, but that goes away quickly. I'm rarely sore the next day. I've been asking myself if I need to push harder.

I'm not sure if there's anything in the Rippetoe FAQ about this. What do you guys think?
