The big, hairy asian's log
Decided to start a log here so I'd quit forgetting how much weight I did previous session, makes progress confusing some times.
Background:
I started doing SS back in July after a 6 week layoff. Before that I was 5'11" 195, lean. I did CF and trained MMA. Hadn't done bench in a couple years, and never really squatted because I was a pussy.
Then one glorious day, I watched a youtube vid of Jesse Marunde and said fuck it. I realized I didn't give a damn about being "lean", and I was too small.
July:
24yr. old, 5'11", 205 (had gained 10lbs of fat)
Squat - 3X5 @ 265
Bench - 3X5 @ 225
Press - 3X5 @ 155
PC - 5X3 @ 155
Deads - 1X5 @ 315
Missed a couple days for weddings, and one week around labor day due to being lazy that weekend. Ate alot, no GOMAD, but drank alot of whole milk already.
Mid October:
5'11", 219, leaner than in July somehow
Squat - 3X5 @ 400
Bench - 3X5 @ 270
Press - 3X5 @ 185
PC - 5X3 @ 205 (yeah, my form must suck, low number)
Deads - 1X5 @430
Had to reset then due to family medical emergency, flu, etc...basic shit life throws at you. Didn't micro load first time through progression, doing it this time, I like it. Making 2.5lb jumps on all, except 5lb or 7.5lb on DL depending on how I feel.
After I reset, I decided I needed to put on more weight or I'd get crushed. I was having a really hard time breaking 220. Since then I've been eating anything I can see. Not "clean" at all. It is working.
I'm going to compete in a PL meet Jan. 9th, shooting for 240.
Quick update: 8-11-2010
Got set back by car accident beginning of year, injured back. Since then I have rehabbed it, and set PRs.
Current PR's:
BW - 251 (few weeks back, been dieting down to 235)
Squat - 460X5 for 2 sets, 3rd set of 2 (end of LP)
Bench - 335 *after a lay off from bench due to tennis elbow. Not benching often cause shoulder
Deads - 485X5 followed by 500X2...drunk
Press - 242 *also after layoff (at 242bw)
PC - 252 *I think, haven't really been working them
Still haven't competed
