I need to develop some self control I didn't follow my plan, not even in the slighest, in fact with the exception of doing 5 reps it was nothing like the program, I had squats, bench and barbell rows, numbers were suppose to be Squat: 80kg, Bench: 50kg, Rows: 40kg. My ego didn't let me though >_<. Squats 20/40/60/80/80/100/120/130kg Bench 40/50/60/70/80kg Rows 40/50/50/60/70kg | ||

Clean 48kg and form was a bitch on the last rep of the last set but, other than that  good day :DI don't feel as awesome or happy today, dunno why  . generally, I feel really happy after a good workout day, specially when I'm sore as fuck as I am right now. Life sometimes can be a big bitch. | ||

Of course. (Well, wiki.) I keep them about shoulder width, but I didn't know if it should be further out than that? Or closer in. Or maybe I'm being too nit-picky. Plus the only reason I'm wondering is because the back of my knees (opposite of the knee caps, and at the very top of the calves) have been bothering me when I squat. Not enough to be a pain, but I don't want it turning into an injury either lol | ||

Not enough to be a pain, but I don't want it turning into an injury either lol From SS book: "We will use a fairly neutral foot placement, with the heels about shoulder width apart, the toes pointed out at about 30 degrees (fig.2-6). Excessive width tightens the hips at the bottom, and excessive narrowness prevents adductor stretch and causes the quads to jam against the belly in heavier trainees, both of which prevent proper depth. Many people will use too narrow a stance, so make sure you're wide enough to permit a good position at the bottom." Personally I think my stance is too wide, need to fix that on reset. | ||

1. Guy benching on the smith machine. 2. Guy doing half squats and after doing 1 rep stopping and adding more weight. 3. Half-Squats buddy comes over and tells him he's doing it wrong, proceeds to do a quarter squat. 4. Quarter-Squat then decides he wants to screw me over and dead lift (which I was waiting for 10 minutes and I wanted the guy using the squat rack in front of it to finish). Proceeds to look up at the ceiling while doing it. After finishing his 1st set he talks to Half-Squat for 20 minutes before doing another set, which was also wrong. Mark Rippetoe has turned me into a hateful person. Anyways my workout consisted of Squat: 20lbx1x5 30lbx1x5 40lbx1x5 45lbx3x5 I think it was a strength issue and not a balance issue. I haven't gotten chucks yet but I still plan to. Bench Press 45lbx1x5 55x1x5 65x3x5 Dead lift 55lbx1x5 65lbx1x5 Feel amazing after that but still pissed off at stupid people dicking around in the gym. Wish I could hit 2 plates on squats and deadlifts before June so I could stand in front of them and show them how it's done. | ||

Make sure you add on more warmup sets when you get to higher weights. i.e. bench sets should be like 45x2x5 45x1x5 50x1x3 55x1x2 65x3x5 Since your weight is low right now it doesn't make much of a difference, but once you're making 30+ pound jumps between warmup sets it's important to split it up and do lower reps on the last warmup sets. Or you can be lazy like me and use the SS warmup calculator  It makes things so easy :D | ||

Age: 28 || Height: 5'11" or m/cm || Weight: 185 Starting Date: Oct/01/2009 || Goal Date: Aug/31/2011 Just to preface this, most of you seem to be focusing on strength training (correct term?), but I've gone a different route for my fitness and thats triathlons. I started traininig Oct 2009 and did my first triathlon (1/2 ironman, or 70.3) in July 2010. My next goal is to complete Ironman Canada in Penticton at the end of August this year. Weight goals -- I'm currently around 185 lbs and would like to get to around 165 lbs by August. I don't focus on weight loss, it comes naturally as part of the long cardio sets. I was 175 last year for my 70.3 with only 8 months of training. Training goals -- 4 week cycle. 2 build weeks, then a peak week, then rest, rinse repeat. I would like to get up to 12-15 hours of various activities per week. Currently since its so cold outside I'm focusing on my swim and bike. Trying to swim ~8km a week and 6 hours of biking a week on my windtrainer. Currently I'm up to 2hrs 40 min individual rides on my windtrainer and hoping to get up to 5 hours by April. I do some strength training during my winter base building months, but during the summer my strength training will go down to once a week. Most of my strength training does not involve weights and only body resistance. The first weekend in July I will be doing the same 70.3 race that I did last year and I'm hoping to improve my time by about 1/2 hour. Nutrition goals -- Training multiple different types of nutrition to find one that works for the long distances that my body can handle. Learning also about what kind of nutrition intake I need during these long distance races as I almost crashed during my 70.3 last year. | ||
