    Default 2016/06/12 -- Cycle 4, week 1, squats

    • starting strength seminar april 2024
    • starting strength seminar jume 2024
    • starting strength seminar august 2024
    Squats:
    Warmup sets:
    45x15
    45x5
    95x5
    135x5
    185x3

    Work sets:
    220x5
    255x5
    290x4

    A bit of a disappointment that I didn't hit 290x5. While the deload week has been useful in dissipating fatigue, I'm probably of an age that I should do high intensity and low volume that week, at least for squats. (The other lifts don't seem to be as affected.)

    I'll be redoing this workout, anyway. After this week, I'm gone for a week, home for a day, then gone for another week. I plan on doing squats again this Friday and then again the one day I'm home. Then I'll restart this cycle rather than move on week 2.

    Chins:

    Default 2016/06/13 -- Cycle 4, week1, bench press

    Bench press:
    Warmup sets:
    45x15
    45x5
    75x5
    105x5
    125x3

    Work sets:
    145x5
    165x5
    190x7

    Press BBB:
    80x10
    75x10
    70x10
    65x10
    60x10

    Okay, so this isn't BBB the way it's supposed to be. It should be 65x10x5 on this week for me. (I finally realized that the spreadsheet I've been using actually gives me the BBB numbers.) But I'll keep doing what I've been doing until it becomes obvious that I'm doing too much, then I'll dial it back to something more reasonable.

    I'll be gone next week, so I'm doing some squats today to minimize the layoff.

    Default 2016/06/28 -- hotel gym workout

    Not much in the way of equipment, but they did have dumbbells up to 50 pounds, so:

    DB bench press:
    15x10
    25x10
    35x10
    40x10
    45x10
    50x10

    Huh, it really is kinda hard getting into position with dumbbells.

    DB press:
    15x10
    25x10
    35x5
    40x5
    45x5
    50x0
    40x5

    I've done these before, so I was aware that they're harder than BB press. I had a mirror to watch myself doing these. Man, my face gets really read when I'm lifting.

    I was tempted to make a video of myself doing 5-lb DB curls sitting on one of those balls, but there wasn't a good obvious place to put the phone, and I wasn't that motivated.

    On your 6/3 joker sets. So close on the 135. One thing I noticed is that your wrists looked like they bent back at 130 and above. Anytime I bend my wrists back that much the bar feels 10lb heavier. The one plate special is yours!

    Good eye, Mr. Chubbins. I'll need to work on that.
