Ah..I go to a ladies only gym and I'm on my own with lifting heavy weights. It's good because I don't have to wait for equipment, but bad because I have nobody to ask for advice.No but my gym provides chalk...
I'm going to look for chalk at the sports store.0 -

Managed to drag my butt to the gym today. A lady came over and offered to spot me while I was benching. I said yes because I was having issues with the first two sets. Then she said you could do more reps I bet and I replied that I was doing the 5x5 program. She had never heard of it so I explained it to her. She asked if I felt it has built up my strength and I said Yes. I then explained I started in November squatting 60lbs and today i did 120lbs. She is going home to look up the program.
Made me smile.
all 5x5 today
Squat 120lbs
Pendlay row 60lbs
Bench 95lbs0 -
wrapped up week 5 today
5x5 on all except bench
sqaut 115lbs
bench 75lbs (2nd attempt, stalled again)
rows 70 lbs (started over from week 1 because i had been doing them wrong)
all in all, a good workout today :bigsmile:0 -
I can't tell if my work pants are tight because my butt is getting bigger and/or because my stomach fat is pushing out due to the core getting stronger but just not melting that stubborn fat yet. The fat is melting off somewhere as I feel different it just isn't visible to me yet especially at my flesh belt which bothers me the most. Either way I was in the gym and it nice and quite in the morning like I like it.
Squat 5x5 120lbs - same as Saturday but I tend to do the same weight twice then move up. My way of keep form in check
OHP 5x5 65lbs I think I might be able to try and move up to 70 next time
DL 1x5 115lbs
Keep up the good work folks! Holiday season is almost over and soon we will be fighting the 'new years crowd'.
Well the ones who use a gym. 0 -
Missed workout B on Friday so on it today.
Squats 5x5 @ 120lb all good
OHP 85lbs 1x4, 1x3, 3x2
(was going to stay at 80lbs but just checking how 85lbs feels, almost stayed at 80lbs when I didn't get the first 5 out but eh)
DL 140lbs no issues
Thinking of adding in some HIIT training next week....0 -
FInished week 6 on Saturday. I missed today because my car got broken into blech. Jerks.
But anywho
Stayed at 125 for squats
hit 5-5-5-4-5 on 75 pounds OHP. I felt like a frikkin monstaaa
175 deadlift.
I had a weird crampy feeling in my back ribs during this workout and since then my ribs have been oddly sore. I'll probably take til Friday off to rest up0 -
Also injured here. I pulled/tweaked my right rhomboid (go figure) a couple weeks ago. Between workouts it was feeling fine, but then nagging again during upper body stuff. When I pulled again last Saturday it hurt for a couple days. I decided to give it a rest. Thus I am embarking on a 21 day squat challenge switching between font/back/barbell/axle. http://breakingmuscle.com/strength-conditioning/21-day-squat-challenge
Today I did axle back squats:
Start out warming up and finding daily max
45x10
95x10
115x5
135x5
155x1
165x1
175x1
185x1
195x1
225x1
Then did 3 ramped up sets of 3 starting with 70-80% of max:
160x3
170x3
180x3
Then did 3 ramped up sets of 5 starting with 70-80% of last set. 70% was actually 125, but I was too lazy to take plates off.
135x5
135x5
145x50 -
Well, probably my last strength workout of 2013 and it was fitting for my crappy year…
Squat 135-5 140-3 145-1
OHP 65-5 70-3 75-1
Dead FAIL
I had a similar workout almost 2 months ago where I just couldn't lift like I did even a few days before. Not sure what caused it, but it doesn't really feel great. I looked back and did see that I recovered a few days later, but at that time I thought it was a tough cardio workout the day before. This time has me stumped. I know I'll be back on track, it's just frustrating when it happens.
Happy New Year to everyone…I'll be at work, but earning double time, so don't care!0 -
If I got paid double time I'd work every holiday!
Day 2 of what I am now calling the squatpocalypse.
Barbell front squats.
45x10
95x10
125x5
135x3
145x1
155x1
165x1
175x1
187x1
197x1
137x3
147x3
157x3
