May Progress

My goal for June is to figure out what's causing my stiff back with deads, so I'm hoping to have my friend come with me to get some video to post here for feedback because I'm just stumped. Looking forward to some progress in June!0

My last May numbers:
Squat - 85
Bench - 65
Row - 70
Overhead Press - 55 (After 6 long weeks stuck at 50, I finally moved up!!! Taking up to five minute long breaks in between sets and a 6 day rest seemed to do the trick.)
Deadlift - 1200 -
Tonight will be my last workout of May.
Last time, I had to deload OHP to 60. 65 was just comical. This might be my max for a while. And I also deloaded deadlifts from 145 to 115 recently b/c of my back. I was back to 120 and only increasing by 5 now, instead of 10.
Tonight, b/c I had to deload Bench to 65, which was a breeze, I'm back at 70. Rows are again at 75.
But my favorite...adding weight to squats. I've only been adding every other workout, to make sure my form doesn't start slipping. My form was so bad for so long with bodyweight squats. I finally can add weight. So tonight will be second time at 70.
Looking forward to June!
That's awesome Q! I'm so glad you got to the point where you could move forward with squatting.
I'll add a june post soon - also if anyone wants to message me or just post in a new thread about a variation/modification you're doing (or if you already posted) I think I'm going to do a second sticky talking about modification possibilities.0 -
I have not lifted since May 3rd for all kinds of reasons, none of which are good (okay, last week's reason was good - I was in Paris). Getting back to it next week and declaring June "no ice cream month". I am not expecting great things from my first session next week given all the time off, but I'm gonna call just setting foot in the weight room a success. Hoping to make some good progress in June!0

I have recently started doing a protocol very similar to SL, but designed by my trainer.
I am on an inital couple of weeks at 5x5 @ 60% this week I did:
Squat @ 132lb,
Bench @ 90lb,
Deads @ 170lb
OHP @ 55lb
everything felt light and easy so I am looking forward to upping the weights next week:)0 -

So, it's June!! May started off with a bang and then I hit a wall and deloaded on some to improve my form and on others I'm stalled but holding the form. Here are the stats:
Squats: 60 lbs (was up to 80)
Bench: 60 lbs (stalled)
Row: 55 lbs (was up to 70)
OHP: 55 lbs (stalled)
Deadlift: 115 lbs
It seems pathetic compared to my husband's weights. But I'm there every other day with him, doing my thing!!
We just finished our 22 session. 0 -
