Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
well I am giving my muscles at least a complete day of rest, so I don't think that comparison applies here. If I'm able to squat heavy every other day, why can't I do dips on one workout and bench on the other? Also, that scheme seems to work so well for squats.

Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
I am considering increasing the frequency of power cleans in order to compensate for the inability to squat. What do you guys think about putting it at the start of each workout?

Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
Woke up at 7, went surfing, but I suck so hard at it. I also burnout quickly on the paddling. I can barely pull my arms out of the water at times. I think my speed is fine, but it doesn't last long. Also, I am a fattie so that doesn't help. Ate oatmeal w/whey and brown sugar, went to the gym 30 minutes later.
Did the power cleans today, but at a lower weight. I'm going to stick with this, it's a good warmup, and I get to practice my form. <u>Power Cleans:</u> approximately 5x5x95# <u>Bench Press:</u> 5x95 4x115 2x135 2x155 3x5x165. <u>Deadlifts:</u> 4x135 3x175 2x205 5x220 two plates next time! <u>Chinups:</u> 2, 1 Based on northern's suggestion, I'm moving dips to bench day. <u>Dips</u> 2x8 @ bodyweight. Probably need to start adding weight. <u>Pullups (assisted):</u> 8x90 5x90 I was exhausted and couldn't finish this. Question: Should I be doing power cleans every workout trying to add weight each time? Or should I go easier on the workouts I don't normally do it? I'll be doing them three times a week. Here's my old workout design, power cleans added to beginning of workout B: <u>Workout A</u> Power Cleans 5x3 Military Press 3x5 Chinups about 4. that's hard for me Assisted Pullups 2x8 <u>Workout B</u> <font color="red">Power Cleans ??? This is where I'm going to add them</font> Bench Press 3x5 Deadlift 1x5 Chinups Dips 2x8 Assisted pullups 2x8 I workout MWF and alternate the workouts each time.

Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
Congrats on approaching 2 plates! It's a huge boost to the ego and motivation when you can.
Personally I would hold off on powercleans 3 times a week as they are a heavy/large movement. theblackkeys have you ever read this thread on bb.com? http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=998224 (sorry no lazy link) It's on the the FAQ's abouting starting strength, it inlcudes the abdaption to the original program and has some great info in it. Warning it's long so put aside some time.

I can't squat due to a knee issue, and need something to replace it I believe. The squat is done heavy 3 times a week in this program, and is imo a more demanding lift. EDIT: I also own starting strength

Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
Ugh, got up at 0645 to workout w/ my friend. Ate a bowl of oatmeal w/protein, dextrose and brown sugar to give me some energy.
<u>Press:</u> warmup @ 45 lbs 5x65 3x95 3x5x105 Stayed at the same weight. Didn't have the right size carabiner for my chain. <u>Power Cleans:</u> Warmup @ 95 lbs 3x115 5x3x130 My right collarbone area hurt a little bit, probably from sleeping on it or wednesday's workout. <u>Chinups:</u> 2, 2. I need to do these more often, like multiple times a day. <u>Pullups:</u> 2x8 @ 90 lbs assistance Nope, no progress.
