Do you plan on implementing Power Cleans at some point as well?
And do you have access to a pull-up bar? The SS program usually starts alternating Deadlift and Power Clean at some point, and later adding Chin-ups and Weighted Chin-ups into the alternation as well.
I am not an expert on this, but I think if the Deadlift is too much on your back after Squat, then perhaps Chin-ups instead of Deadlift would be better alternation on those Squat days?
Yes I have been doing seated rows and lat pulldowns, but haven't listed them to avoid offending people for not doing the program.
Workout A, is Seated Pulley Rows 200lbs, 3 sets of 5
Workout B, is Lat pulldowns 180lbs, 3 sets of 5
The stack on the machine is 200lbs, when I max out at 200lbs for lat pulldowns I'll start doing chinups.
Week 12
Today's workout
Dumbell Lunges: 55 lbs dumbells, 3 sets of 10
OHP: 132 lbs (60kg), 5, 5, 4, 3
OHP Afternoon repeat: 132 lbs (60kg), 5, 5, 4
I can't believe I failed getting the PR on OHP today, the first 2 sets were easy. I was so certain I could get it I came back in the afternoon for another attempt.
Definitely still getting stronger so I'm not going to reset just yet.
Did some tricep extensions just on my left arm, I noticed my left arm is showing weakness in the press once grinding starts. Hopefully this balances things out a bit.
Week 12
Today's workout
Bench Press: 203.5 lbs (92.5kg), 3 sets of 5 (PR)
Deadlifts: 187 lbs (85 kg) 5 reps (sciatica)
Oh yeah got a PR on bench today. Getting closer to my 100kg goal. Bloody happy.
Started some exercises to correct the imbalance in my left arm.
Week 13
Today's workout
Squat: 143lbs (65kg), 10 reps
OHP: 132 lbs (60kg), 3 sets of 5 (PR)
Finally got the the PR on over head press.
I will be switching to 1kg increments from now on, with this exercise.
Did 1 set of 10 reps today without much back pain. I might increase it to 70kg next week.
