Hellie's Log

[Hellie]

Hi there,

I started SS (or something like it) on January 2nd, completed 4 workouts so far, debated whether or not to post a log (I can get quite addicted to web forums!) but I think it will help me to keep my lifting progression in perspective. So here I am.

Stats:
Female
32 years old
Weight: 51kg/ 112lb
Height: 1m63/5'3
Training History: Completed New Rules of Lifting for Women in August-December 2013, weight training 3 times per week plus 1 aerobics class plus 1 dance class.

Goals: Get stronger, build muscle, stay healthy.

Yesterdays workout (number 4) - Hope it's ok to post weights in kg (I'm in Europe). If not, I can convert in future.

Squats:
20 X 2 X 5
30 X 1 X 3
40 X 1 X 2
45 X 5 X 5

Press:
15 X 2 X 5
17.5 X 5 X 5

DL:
20 X 2 X 5
40 X 1 X 3
60 X 1 X 2
75 X 5 X 1

Chinups
BW X 5 X 5

Extra stuff:
Stability work
Practised hang cleans with empty bar
Band-assisted dips
Ab work (Hanging leg raises, Side bends)

*Notes: Trainer suggested 5X5 and extra stuff

Here's to getting stronger and staying injury-free!

Hellie,

Welcome! I would suggest doing SS as written. Extra stuff can tend to get in the way of recovery.
Good luck!
