Dabes' Training Log
9/30/13 - 10/20/13
About me:
I'm a 15 years old at 5'2 and 127 lbs at the start of this program. I'm Asian and I go to a high school with an excellent Wrestling/Football/Track program.
Goal:
I started lifting around late June and started doing SS late September. My primary goal before I was doing was to focus on aesthetics. Now my goal is to gain strength and weight for Football next year. I aim to join Varsity my junior year and I'm going to work hard to reach that goal.
Why I'm doing this log:
I really want to see my progress through out the following weeks and maybe help inspire some people with my results.
Starting Lifts
Squat: 105
Bench: 95
Press: 65
Deadlift: 115
Personal Records
Squat: 140
Bench: 125
Press: 75
Deadlift: 160
I started with the Practical Programming 2nd Edition, where you deadlift 3x a week.
All numbers are in lbs.
Week 1:
3x5 Squat 105, 115, 120
3x5 Press 65, 70
3x5 Bench 95
3x5 Deadlift 115, 125, 135
Week 2
3x5 Squat 125, 130, 135
3x5 Press 75
3x5 Bench 105, 115
3x5 Deadlift 140, 115
Now I changed to the Original Practical Programming Program, where you deadlift, chinups and pullup 1x a week.

3x5 Squat 135 (My arm position on the bar was wrong so I put it back down to 135.)
3x5 Press 70 (Had to fix some issues.)
1x5 Deadlift 135 (Form issues again.)
Squat felt nice today with the new hand position, Overhead Press sucked today I really struggled hard. Deadlift felt nice I tried to emphasize on pointing my chest straight.

3x5 Squat 140
3x5 Bench 125
Pullups around 6 reps each set
New Weight is 132 lbs
My arms felt tight and my thumb started to ache, I put my fingers on the bar instead of the palm of my hands. Bench was really hard, a friend spotted me today and that was the only reason I did 5/5/5, however I'm glad I'm almost to my bodyweight.

Didn't work out today but I'm questioning why I didn't stick with the Original SS Program and why did I add hammer curls and dips. These issues are mostly likely why I'm about to stall so soon on the press and bench.

By all means go back to the Original Program and stick with it. If you have access to filming why not post some videos and those with expertise can advise you on form and technique.

Okay thanks for the advice, I'll start posting some videos next week and maybe add some I have at the moment.Originally Posted by carson

3x5 Squat 155
3x5 Press 77
3x5 Deadlift 155
Squat gave me a hard time, mostly due to breathing. Press felt great, felt like my deadlift form was good, but probably the opposite.
