last day of week 1. starting tomorrow it'll be 3's but this week it was 5s for deadlift and press.
press 55, deadlift 125. 6 reps for amrap on both. and dimel deadlifts 3x8x75/95, 2x15x105.
that's all there was time for today. i was more tired than i expected to be so a bit disappointing. but i did it all went there and back by bike too and i think i'm feeling the thursday squats more than i know. looking forward to 'restarting' at 70% of training weights for the initial sets in week 2.
i'm going to a 'trigger point stretch and release' workshop tomorrow in the afternoon. how exciting is that???0 -

Rows: 5x5x80
Have a good weekend...rainy here, kids games are gonna be miserably wet and cold0 -
Week one is officially done! I increased my bench press and rows but keeping squats the same for a bit longer until Im more comfortable with my form. I videoed myself doing squats and need to keep working on it. I may post a video next week in the form check for help... Going to try and do body weight squats to get the feel down first. Loving this program so far!0

i did a lot a lot a lot of cycling today. two separate municipalities' worth, and there was some heartbreaking hill in the middle of it for a couple of miles.
no lifting, but i did take advantage of chipotle being in the neighbourhood of one of my destination points. ate an entire chicken burrito all the way down to the silver paper and even drank half a coke before i felt ready to finish the job of getting back home.
i basically spent most of the day on my bike.0 -
Sounds like a great day @canadianlbs
Great work on getting through the first week @klala042 !
Stronglifts A this morning for me.
SQ: 3x5 @ 37.5kg
BP: 5,4,3,3,3 at 35kg. Third fail at this weight so time to deload back to 30kg. Managed to increase 4kg on from last deload.
BR: 5x5 at 36kg0 -
Yesterday went to the gym after work. Tried out doing the main compounds all in one night, so squat, bench and deadlift. It did take me a while and I did 20 minutes cardio at the end since trying to increase my cardio a little right now. Tried out to guess what would be my 5 rep weight range.
Squat 2x10 @ 45, 1x8 @ 95, 1x5 @ 135, 3x5 @ 165 (with belt and felt heavy)
Bench 2x10 @ 45 and 3x5 @ 95
Deadlift 1x6 @ 135, 1x5 @ 185 and 225 with belt for 4, 3, 3 reps.
Tried to see if I could get 5 on 225 as it used to be my one rep max but couldn't get there yet. Squats are feeling heavy but it was also a little challenging because my shoulders were sore where I place the bar.
Then went home and tried maple bacon poptarts. They were pretty good. The scent was mostly maple based with hints of the bacon. I did one toasted and one cold but I liked them both. I mostly go with brown sugar poptarts but once a year or less as I'm not that into poptarts in general, but it was fun to try this one.
Today, I went on a grocery quest. Aside from veggies as I'm doing more volume through veggies instead of IF for right now, I found Ben & Jerry non-dairy ice cream. Yep, non-dairy. They used almond milk. I almost got the pb cookie one but it was 290 calories per serving and brownie was only 200. Will try the pb one next time. Looking forward to some ice cream one of these nights. mmmm
Edit: I forgot to add. I also am starting a youtube channel in relation to my blog, which is about fiction writing and fitness. I put up an quick introduction but will have the meet video up in the near future on my channel, once I film a small introduction to it. So weird to hear my recorded voice... Anyways, this is me and what I sound like(ish) along with a small introduction though I will have to do more information later.

Okay, didn't mean to embed the actual video but oh well. Future I'll figure out how to just link the overall channel.0

I woke up so cranky this morning, I slept fine but just must have got out on the wrong side! Decided to do my workout early to hopefully improve my mood.
SQ: 3x5 at 37.5kg
OHP: 5,5,5,5,3 at 25kg. Maybe could have got 4 on the last set. One more chance to get this weight.
DL: 1x5 at 60kg, 70kg and 80kg. Still working on form after feedback from last week. I think the set up is better now. Will get more feedback and review some more videos.
HT: 5x5 at 45kg.1
