Dougs becoming a useful human being log.
So I have been doing SS for around a month now and I thought writing out an online log would help keep me honest.
Ok some stats I'm 5'11 26 years old and 210 pounds. I workout in the mornings around 5:30am. I'm a bit chubby so I have been eating paleo + dairy but not shying away from the calories, and taking some advice from what I read on John Shaefers forum.
Mondays workout.
Squat 3x5 230 deadlift 1x5 265 bench press 177 1/2. pulls 5 3 2
Wednesdays workout squat 3x5 235 powerclean 5x3 140 press 2x5 125.
My deadlifts feel great They came up with no problem double overhand grip.
My bench press feels good to, I just switched to micro loading but I almost think I could have got a bit more out of 5 pound increments. I think I'll stick to 3 or 3 1/2 pound jumps for awhile. I'm having issues with my knees wanting to come in on the squat and I'm not keeping my chest up properly on the last couple reps of each set. I also just don't seem to "feel my core" I'm not sure exactly what I"m doing wrong. Belt is on its way though so I'm hoping that will help. I failed a rep on my powerclean, (pretty girl was stretching in front of me, I got distracted) but other then that they felt good
