Hi everyone. This is an awesome forum.
I'm pretty much a newb to strength training, so I figure I might as well keep a log on here to track progress etc. I already record my workouts in a book but I thought others would like to see what Im doing. Also, any help or advice along the way is much appreciated!
Anyway, my name is Tim, 80kg, Male, student etc. and I am currently using Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength Novice program. I've been on his program for about 4 months now and have had steady progress, although had some form issues with squat, but it's all good now!:)
Anyway, here is what Im doing:
Workout A:
Squat ? 5 x 3
Bench ? 5 x 3
Deadlift ? 5 x 1
Workout B:
Squat ? 5 x 3
Press ? 5 x 3
Power Clean ? 3 x 3
3 x week, alt ABA, BAB etc.
Im going to keep my workouts as basic as possible until my lifts are halfway decent! I.e. until I reach my goals. My goals (5 RM) are a 120kg squat, 90kg bench, 60kg press, 130kg dead and 70kg PC ASAP. Im a way off at the moment, but hey, Ill try. My Current 5RM are:
Squat - 90kg x 5 x 3
bench - 75kg x 5 x 3
Press - 47.5kg x 5 x 3
Deadlift - 105kg x 5 x 1
PowerClean - 50kg x 3 x 3
I will update my workout tomorrow :D.
