my starting strength log
i have been seeing a lot of stuff about the starting strength program so i decided to give it a try for the next two months and see what my results are.
A little bit about me I used to work out religiously in high school for football and track. i graduated in 04 and have worked out off and on since, nothing really intense like i used to do in high school. I've actually lost weight since high school back then i was about 165-170 now I'm about 150 so i have lost pretty much all the muscle i accumulated. i had been working out for about two weeks straight before i found out about starting strength. log Nov 9th first day of SS Squats warm up 1x10x45 1x6x95 1x4x105 work set 3x5x135 notes felt like form was done well "ass to grass" i believe is the term. felt a little pain in back of knee also felt like i was pushing more with my right leg in a few of the reps Bench Press warm up 1x10x45 10x push ups work sets 3x5x115 notes tried two different grips: one thumb back with the bar resting on the but of my palm, and two my thumb warped around the bar. it felt easier to do the second grip lost count on second set may have done 5 or 6 reps Dead Lift warm up 1x5x115 work set 1x5x135 not sure if my form was correct the weight seemed easy is the bar supposed to rub on your legs the whole way up and down? Dips 1x8 and 1x6 couldn't do the 7th rep Nov 11th Squats warm up 1x6x95 1x5x115 1x3x125 work sets 3x5x135 notes during warm ups felt little strain in right leg but not during the work sets decided to lower weight slower to concentrate on form and it seemed good until my last rep of last set i was leaning forward to much Military Press Warm up 1x10x45 1x5x55 1x3x55 work sets 2x5x65 1x8x65 notes started lite because of the fast progression did 3 extra reps in last set because i didn;t feel like i was working that hard with the low weight Bent Rows warm up 1x7x65 1x7x75 work set 3x5x85 notes not sure about my form here. how much am i supposed to bend my knees? Chin Ups 1x3 and 1x4 of negatives Nov 13th Squat Warm Up 1x8x95 1x5x115 1x2x125 work set 3x5x135 notes no pain in right leg but i did feel a little tightness in my hip ant the bottom of the lift also my right foot would rotate as i would lower the weight. my feet would start out pointing straight and would end pointing to the right. Bench Press warm up 1x20x45 5xPushups work sets 3x5x115 motes i used the thump warped around the bar grip Dead Lift work set 1x5x135 didn't feel like warming up for this my form felt good but im still not sure if im doing it correctly my grip is weak Dips 2x8 this killed my shoulders |
