Second Attempt at SS - Log
This is my second attempt at the program. My last attempt was in December 2021 and I kept it going for a month and a half. I am doing the it by myself at home. I already read SS:BBT, and I'm reading PPST. I may also have to resort to online coaching in the future.
I am planning to post weekly updates with new data and a small comment for each workout.
Age: 31

Squat: 58kg x5x3
Press: 30kg x5x3
Deadlift: 78kg x5x3
I caught the flu and couldn't sleep enough, but I managed to take a nap and decided I was good enough to train. Had a bit of difficulty locking out the last two reps of the deadlift.

Week 02:
2024-08-19
Squat: 62kg x5x3
Bench: 38kg x5x3
Deadlift: 82kg x5x3
I was fully recovered from the flu and the workout felt easier than last time.
A small callus appeared in my left hand due to an incorrect grip in the deadlift.
2024-08-21
Squat: 66kg x5x3
Press: 32kg x5x3
Deadlift: 86kg x5x3
I was feeling a discomfort in the right side of my hips but it went away after warming up the squat.
I have missed the depth on a few reps where I did not move the knees to the correct position.
2024-08-23
Squat: 70kg x5x3
Bench: 42kg x5x3
Deadlift: 90kg x5x3
I started working out with a bit of pain in the left thigh, which went away after warming up the squat. The work sets felt better after a few form corrections.
I failed locking out the last rep of the deadlift. Tried again after resting and failed after three reps. Decided to use straps and completed the work set with relative ease.
I will try to improve my grip for the next workout and only use the straps again if needed.
Weekend Weight: 110.6kg
Next week I will add power cleans to the program. I have practiced a bit with the empty bar and it is hard to get into the rack position. I will try stretching at the rack and practice some more.
