Workout 6/25/12

Squat 370lbs 3x5
Bench 245lbs 4/4/4 (Probably should have had something like 5/4/4 or 5/5/4, didn't have a spotter and didn't want to push it.
Pullups 11/7/6

Overall not bad.  Once the 5/3/1 book comes I'm gonna see what it has to say.  Meanwhile I've been following a heavily mutated 3x5 setup 4 days a week.  Mainly to bring my upper body inline.  To that end, I'm doing:

Day 1 and 3: Squat/Bench/Pullups (all 3 sets of 5).  Day 2 and 4: Deadlift/Press/Weighted Chins (DL is 1x5, else 3x5).

With this, I squat 2x (compared to 3x on starting strength) a week.  Deadlift 2x (vs 1.5x) a week.  Bench and Press 2x (vs 1.5x a week).  So the result is that I'm doing 1 fewer squat workout, and 0.5 more of bench/press/deadlift.  I've seen some progress on my upper body lifts which is good news.  I'm gonna keep going on this until I stall hard probably.  Then maybe 5/3/1???

  1. Sounds like a good plan. Did you move already? Find a new gym?
