day 1. (4/14/08)

day 2. (4/16/08)

3x5 squat - 115lb
3x5 military press - 60lb
3x5 pendlay rows - 90lb


on military press, i clearly had the strength to lift it up but my stability was very weak. i did it though.

pendlay rows... my back must be really weak. i think my form wasnt perfect so i might lower the weight.

day 3. 4/18/08


squat 3x5 - 115lbs
bench 3x5 - 95lbs
deadlift 3x5 - 135lbs.


did 2x8 of pullovers of 30lb then 35lb to expand my ribcage a bit.
it's friday, so that means next week im adding 5lbs to everything. can't wait to see how that goes. i might add 10 lbs to my deadlift.

in 8 weeks i hope to be benching 135, and possibly 1rep maxing my weight (140ish)

day 4 - 4/21-08


3x5 squats - 120lbs
3x5 military press - 65lbs. these were kind of hard but i got it done
3x5 rows 95lb - what.. the .. fock. these felt very uncomfortable and they are hurting my back. im not doing anymore of these ****s. im going for powercleans next week to replace pendlay rows.

edit: i DID not know that i was supposed to add weight to each workout. i thought it was adding weight each week. so im gonna add about 2lbs to each lift from now on. i'll use those little metal cylinders that you screw onto the weights to keep the plates on. apparently they weigh 1lb each.

why did you quit for 6 months?

first i fcuked up my back from deadlifting wrong... then i was in the hospital because i had a psychotic episode heh.

nice another rip log... subbed,check out mine too.

[L-Guidomine]

squat 3x5 130lb
bench 1x5 115, 1x5 105, 1x5 109
deadlift 1x5 160

i failed in doing a 3x5 of bench which sucks. i think it might be because i didnt really get enough food before the workout. i just wokeup, ate a banana, and hit the gym. i was pretty hungry during the workout. the deadlift was moderately hard. im losing my grip in these... hopefully my grip will get better.

i think next workout will be better. im gona try benching 115 again 3x5.
