SS day 5:
3x5 squat @ 205 (fail: 4-4-3)
3x5 bench @ 135 (fail: 4-4-3)
1x5 deadlift @ 205 (poor form on the last 2-3 reps)
10-9-8 chinups
2x10 GHD situps
MWOD shit: did the first part of that last shoulder mwod early this morning (stretch band hanging off pullup bar etc). Warmed up with hip/hammy mwod shit for 10 min or so before lifting. Gonna finish up that shoulder mwod later with the rolling around on lacrosse ball on your rear delt.
I think i've officially stalled out on all my lifts...pitiful. Gonna reset working loads back 10-15%. Rippetoe is full of shit, i'd beat his ass but his program is full of lies and can't get me strong enough to do that...catch 22.
haha, do you really think Rippetoe is bad? I have the Starting Strength book, but I've only read the section on squats. I liked most of it, though it's a bit difficult to understand everything he says without a video. What are your main gripes?
ReplyDelete3x5 at 205 is no joke. does he have a prescription for where to start your weights?
ReplyDelete@MB: no, i was being sarcastic, i think he's legit. re: the video, i have the dvdrip if you want it. dont know how i could get the files to you though. but its particularly useful i thought. he coaches a number of various people through common form mistakes on the 5 SS lifts.
ReplyDelete@JC: i started with a "test day" where you feel out where your 3x5 max is. but that was in the winter last time i was doing SS. i started this go around with a 20# reset from where i had left off a few months ago.
