Gorlox22's SS Log

[Gorlox22]

Been doing SS for a while now, and may be approaching the end of my linear progression, so I figured I'd start a log.

Me:
17 years old
5'6"
Started at 116lbs, gained until 137, stopped lifting, lost weight, regained to 152, stopped lifting, lost weight, and then restarted at 146lbs on 1/1/10, and currently weigh 168. Would like to weigh 185.

Last Workout:

Friday, February 19, 2010
BW:166.5

Squat: 327.5x5x3 (first time with a belt)

Bench: 197.5x5x3

Power Clean: 197.5x5x3

Normal workout, cleans are getting hard. Using a belt was weird, need to get used to it.

That's damn good progress.

But what's with all the stopping, losing/gaining weight thing? Is that deliberate or just life?

[Gorlox22]

Its just me not doing anything consistently and being a pussy, for the most part. I'm not gonna let it happen again, this is to much work to just let waste away.

BW:168

Squat: 330x5x3

Press: 137.5x5x3

Deadlift: 370x5

Squats were incredibly hard, and I've got 2 issues. The first is its damn near impossible to keep my elbows up so my wrists and shoulders are taking a beating. They were numb after each set. Second, I don't know what caused it, but I've got a good bit of pain around my hips, mainly around the hip flexors. It sucks, but I just trained through it. Presses and deadlifts were good, done with 2.5lb jumps on press I think, but we'll see how it goes.

Pretty good stats for that body weight.

Legit progress man, can't wait till I get there.

Squat: 330x5x3

Bench Press: 200x5x3

Power Clean: 200x3x5


Have had a cold since Monday so was a little down.Squats were way better this time, it was a good move to stay at 330 one time, will go up next time. Bench was hard because my shoulder was hurting, but power cleans were strong and fast.

Squat: 332.5x5x3

Press: 138.75x5x3

Deadlift: 375x5


Good workout, but I need to eat more food.

Heavy squats 3x a week are killing me, and are taking away from the progress of my other lifts. I feel like squats are right on the edge of intermediate programming, but everything else still has at least a couple weeks. So, I'm thinking about changing my programming around a little bit; putting a light squat on Wednesdays and only deadlifting and power cleaning once a week each.

Maybe something like this, very similar to Texas Method:

Monday:
Squats 3x5
Bench/Press 3x5
Power Cleans 5x3

Wednesday:
Front/Box/Light Squats 3x5/3x3
Bench/Press 3x5
Chinups 3sets
*Back Extensions 3x10*
*abs 2x10*

Friday:
Squats 3x5
Bench/Press 3x5
Deadlift 1x5

The back extensions and ab work will depend on how I feel. What type of squats would be best for Wednesdays?

Any comments/suggestions?
