Not an SS LOG; Lots of Excuses
SS LOG
KY
Age 28
Height 6'
Weight 185
History; No athletics, no exp in gym till 23.
Regular working with free weights and BB since 23.
Posted routine here, got flamed and recommended to SS.
Started SS appx. 1 month ago.
I'm working alternating days on M/W/F of Squats/DL/Bench and Squats/Press/PC all 3x5 after warm ups. except the DL(1x5)
Today 2/1/10 my lifts were;
Squat 3x5 @ 265
DL 1x5 265
Bench 3x5 235
I added 10lbs to my squat since friday, form felt good.
Also added 10 lbs to my DL wich was quite tough. I felt it immediately in the small of my back but there was no pain.
My bench also went up 5lbs since last bench. 3x5 with no help. Felt very good.
So I haven't gained any real weight since I started a month ago, which doesn't bother me.
I'd be fine with adding weight and cutting later if my progress started to stall. I'll post my diet soon.
I don't have a great stretching routine for before and I have been only doing a 5 min warm up on a treadmill with no cool down.
I'm not sure if this is bad. I actually will do a 10/15 min 4.0mph walk after once and a while.
So there it is.
