Press: 65x1, 55 5x5

Dead Lift: 165x1, 135 3x5

Bench: 80x1, 70 5x5

Apparently, I was only supposed to do one of these at a time for four days. OOPS! I obviously did not understand the instructions :/

I can't move! I should not have done that workout yesterday. Did not workout today.

The program is forgiving in some sense. Are these your starting weights? It sounds like they may exceed your starting weights. In any rate when you reach the point when you can't consistently add weight you are nearing the end of the novice stage. That probably won't happen for several months. More importantly if you have access to a Starting Strength certified coach ask his/her advice. You can ask questions on the coaches forum as well. You may also post some videos so that those more learned in this area can critique your work. Don't worry about aches and pains. Take Tylenol.

Tell us about yourself. Age, height, weight, gender, etc.

Welcome.

Khadijah,

HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU DO THAT? When did we EVER do all 4 lifts in ONE DAY!!!!

PAIN is your penance! Today do 3x10 with just the bar for squats to get some blood flow. SILLY WOMAN!

I KNEW you were going to laugh at me. I don't know. I thought I was supposed to do all of that for four days in a row. Honestly, on paper is seemed easy :P

20 Feb 2104:

Bench: 80x1, 70 5x5

I didn't do a circuit because I was still a bit sore from the rookie move I pulled. But I did get this in and now I think I'm back to where I was supposed to be.

21 Feb 2014:

Squat: 95x1, 80 5x5

Then I ran with my dog...because she's fat. Dogs should not be 308!

22-23 Feb 2014:

Rest

[Mac Ward]

Pepper is not fat. Pepper is not 308. Pepper is a beautiful lady, and ladies are not 308.

Stop running, squat, deadlift, press, and bench. Nowhere did running appear in your program.

25 Feb 2014:

Deadlift: 175x1, 155 2x5 (you said to do either 155 or 165...chest was not having 165 so I did the 2 sets of 155) RPE=10

Squats: 85 4x4 RPE=8

Circuit: 3x10
-Lunges

I started off still feeling a little sore and sluggish but seemed to snap out of it pretty quick. Chest is coming along. Residual pain is not as persistent...THANK YOU!!! This has been a great relief so far. I'm hungry for more!!
