Revolts Rippetoes Journal

I've been doing rippetoes for a couple weeks now, and at the start these were my lifts:

Squat 110
Bench 120
Dead 150
Press 60
Row 70

Now they are:

Squat 150
Bench 140
Dead 190
Press 75
Row 85

I'll update probably every workout.. Thanks everyone.

Nice jump, especially on your bench. Make sure you dont jump up too fast though and stay consistent or else youll stall fast. Im doing rip also and started almost 2 weeks ago, check out mine too..subbed

revolt13 · 10-23-2008, 03:21 PM

Yeah man i upped it 5 every workout. I might have to stay at 140 for another but then i'll probably go up. I'll check yours out, thanks.

Khalas101 · 10-23-2008, 03:26 PM

Make some 1.25lbs weights. Im going to get some this weekend so I can go up by 2.5lbs on my millitary press every workout and once my bench slows down from 5lbs, ill be adding 2.5lbs.

revolt13 · 10-23-2008, 03:28 PM

Yeah, I'm hoping i don't have to use weights that small anytime soon. I have some 1.5's though. and 2.5's.

After a few weeks and a couple of new PR, for the bench and military press, going up by 2.5lbs is alot. Once you see jumping up by 5lbs is too heavy start using the 1.5's so u can jump by 2.5lbs in ur case 3lbs.

Its better to be going up lightly then too heavy and then you stall. Plus it prevents you from doing the same amount of weights the next workout, like your intendin to do on your bench.

Good job on the PR, im at the period where i passed my old prs and can only set new ones. I hope my bench goes up since its very low compared to my deadlift.

Yeah man you've got a real good dead. I think i'm gonna lower my weight on the deads a lot because i NEED to fix the form. And i'll start squating again next workout.

185 dead, gettin form down now.
2 sets of dips with 10lbs.

Nice, very strong bench. Make sure you eat well though or setting new PR will be very difficult and u may not even make them.

Same man, I dint eat well cause of exams for a week straight and I stalled on my 2nd PR for bench. I finished them and now Im back on track. I dunno why but my bench dosnt go up as fast as my other lifts.

revolt13 · 11-08-2008, 10:53 PM

Todays workout:

160 Squat - New PR!
Overhead press is still at 85.. pretty hard still.
Rows with 100, it was hard. Idk if i have the form down, i'm gonna watch some vids and try and fix it.
Two sets of chinups with 6lbs.

revolt13 · 11-10-2008, 06:37 PM

Today:

Squats stayed at 160, with a belt. I have had lower back problems and i'm not riskin it.

Bench stayed at 150, just as hard as last time, got all the reps though.

Deads are up to 200, Loving em..

2 sets of dips with 12lbs.

revolt13 · 11-12-2008, 04:57 PM

today:

Squats 165 Not too bad, def heavier.
Overhead press 87.5, last set pretty hard.
Rows 100, i think i'm either doing this wrong or i need too lower the weight a bit.
Wide grip pullups 2x8

revolt13 · 11-15-2008, 01:00 PM

Yesterday (friday):

Squat 170, New pr, very hard.
Bench 153, New pr, VERY hard
Deadlift 210, New Pr, Felt good.

2 sets of dips with 15lbs.

revolt13 · 11-17-2008, 10:39 PM

Messed my shoulder playing football yesterday so today all i did was squats.

Warm up sets then 3x5 with 170.

Messed around with some arm work, nothin serious.

And i might be getting a job doing landscaping which would hinder my gains because i'd burn so many calories at work.. and eating every two hours will be like impossible. UGH

revolt13 · 11-19-2008, 08:47 PM

Today: Shoulder still hurt but i did workout anyways.

Squats 175 New PR, form is weird. Its like i'm tilting forward a little on the way back up and using my back to fix it.

Bench, 155 NEW PR.. This was very hard and i was surprised to get it with my shoulder the way it is.

Deads 220 New Pr, Form wasn't horrible but i'm not happy with it, tiny bit of rounding on my lower back, if i have to i'll drop the weight next week to fix it.

Dips 2x8 with 16lbs, hard. But i think its because of my shoulder.

revolt13 · 11-21-2008, 07:21 PM

Today, Shoulder still hurt. Not as much.

Squats 175 - Was not good this week, form was messed up and i'm gonna drop the weight next week.

Overhead press 90 1x5 1x5 then 1x4 on the last set, definately hard.

Rows - I suck at em, really. Idk if my form is wrong or what but 100 was very heavy. I don't like em.

Widegrip pullups 2x8

Not a great workout.

revolt13 · 11-24-2008, 07:13 PM

Today:

Squat 165 - Lower weight but i worked on form.
Bench 157 - Last set was insanely hard. I'll stall soon.
Dead 225 - Definately getting harder..
2 sets of dips with 18lbs - hurt my shoulder

I took videos so i'll post those up soon. Just to get critiques on form. Thanks.
