1week ago: Deadlift 207,5kg x 4 1/2 Today: Deadlift 207,5kg x 3 1/2 I am turning into a fucking weakling. After that horrible set I decided that I need to change something. So I did 8setsx3reps speed-deadlifts with 150kg, like in Coan-Philllipi. 2 calluses were torn doing that, but not too much bleeding fortunately. But those sets felt really good and my traps are actually sore now. Since I am never sore anymore, I am calling this progress. Did some Good Mornings and Chin-Ups afterwards, maybe next week I'll go for a real Coan-Philippi workout. And I need to start to take my rest time fucking seriously. God, I am mad. | ||

Age: 28 || Height: 6'1" || Weight: 176 lbs Starting Date: 10/1/11 || Goal Date: 12/31/11 Current lifts: Squat: 270x5 lbs Deadlift: 265x5 Bench: 145x5 Pendlay Rows: 125x4 Shoulder Press: 105x3 Goals: Squat: 315x1 Deadlift: 315x1 I'd love to do a 3 plate squat and deadlift by the end of the year. According to the one-rep max calculator I'm already close, but I feel like the calculator is a little too optimistic. Hopefully I'll be doing sets of 5 at 315, but I'll settle for a 1RM. My squat and deadlift are about the same, but a big reason for that is because I squat first and deadlift when I'm exhausted. The deadlift PR should be pretty easy to hit if I attempt it before squatting. Bench Press: 1RM at bodyweight! My upper body strength is awful but slowly getting better. Bodyweight is a moving target, but it will probably be 185 lbs at the end of the year, possibly 180 or 190. I've been adding about a pound a week, and I'm happy with that steady increase. My 5RM bench has been going up 5 lbs every 2 weeks so I should be able to do 185x1 by the end of the year. | ||

Took me a few tries at first to find out the number of sets/reps I had to start from, but now I'm working my way up quite nicely and have already seen a big increase in both performance and looks. And it doesn't even take a lot of time at all, just about 1 hour and a half every 3 days, without even having to go out because I exercise on a pair or rings in my garage. I wish I had started earlier but frankly I'm even happier that I started at all. :D Btw I ordered and ate a pack from Wild Planet and I must say the taste is really really good. I bought the $45 pack but I just saw a new $24 pack that has everything (tuna/salmon/sardines) so that would be the best one if you want to try without paying too much. | ||

I went and bought some micro plates so hopefully I can make smaller gains on it. Gotta squeeze out the last of those noob gains. I've been at that 100-105lb press range for what feels like forever. I actually just re-read the entire section in Starting Strength on the press to hopefully fix any errors I'm still making. | ||

From what I've seen the best way to get press up much quicker is to increase volume and start pressing 3-4x a week. But you will likely have to get onto a different program to carry that out. While on SS you should be using fractional plates if possible | ||

Haha I thought I was the only one, I am there as well >_> Also does anyone know of any stores in Canada that would sell chalk? I just checked SportCheck and it was a huge store and they didn't have any. I wish walmart would just carry it in their sport section -_-. | ||
