my numbers/progress Q's

[lukeBW]

I was wondering how my numbers look
I am 45yo 5'7" 173lb
I have been doing the SS since
8-4-08 yeah just started, though have been reading the book since July

here's my progress

first workout SS 8/4/08
Workout A
squat 130lb
BP 135lb
deadlift 215

workout B 8/6/08
squat 145
Mil. press 90
power clean 90
---------------------


8/13/08 my last workout A
Squat 195
Bench press 165
deadlift 245

I had to skip yesterday but today it's workout B
How am I doing so far..?? I feel my bench is lagging and so is my squat .

I had no issues with squats until the last workout when I felt a sharp pain
in my upper inner thigh "Adductor" maybe??
I felt it only on my way up? and only with the heaviest lift of 195lb when going ATG and less pronounced if I squat to parallel or less, if I back the weight to 185lb the pain goes away .... I still finished my working set at 195lb going ATG

You've been a very good boy so far (despite the fact that you're slow reader), but I don't recall advising anybody to squat ATG. In fact, I specifically advise against using ATG as the sole criterion for a proper squat. Use your search function to investigate this already-dealt-with question.

You're right .. it's just a bad habit I picked up prior to starting the SS
I am not going atg anymore, I promise .. today I pushed my deadlift to 255lb which I am happy but I had to take 10lb off both bench and squat (just below parallel:-)
I did not sleep much last night and I felt like shit all day ..
And now off to bed to read about the reset . I think I might need one soon.

ps

I am not a slow reader, I am a bonehead for even mentioning ATG to you LOL

thanks again for taking the time to answer
