Emmasboy First Time Starting Strength Training log

[Emmasboy]

Started Starting Strength program today.

Have been undecided whether to try something from Dan John or Starting Strength - opted for Starting Strength as no thought required on what I had to do to start the program

Squat - 45 kg 3x5
Press - 25 kg 3x5
Deadlift - 65 kg 1 x5

Bodyweight 77kg

Thanks Adrian.

No Strength training until Tuesday.

1 1/2 hours of Karate today and a very slow and easy jog of 30 minutes - not much faster than a walk really!

[Mr. Bingley]

welcome! read the book and then don't hesitate to ask questions!

[Emmasboy]

Thank you Mr Bingley.

Tuesday training as expected was easily achievable- as it should be at the start of a novice cycle.

Squat 50kg 3x5
Bench Press 40 kg 3x5
Deadlift 70kg 1x5

Had a few extra days off from training due to working long hours - desk job so not physical.

Anyway, back in the gym...

Squat 55kg 3x5
Press 27.5kg next
Deadlift 75kg 1X5
Chin ups bw 3x4

The downside of today is I have eaten a lot of junk food. I need to follow a sensible approach to eating.
