All weights mentioned are in kgs - not lbs
 

hi everybody

before we begin, i would to add that all the weights mentioned below are in Kilograms. Sorry for the inconvenience, but in India we use kgs, not pounds.

My measurements
 

hi, before i begin this routine, i thought i'd list down my measurements so i can use them for refernce when i evelaute my progress next month

Height = 5 feet 7 inches
Weight = 78 kgs
Body Fat% = 15%

Day 1
 

ok: today was Day 1

Here is what i was originally supposed to do:

Day 1
1.) Barbell Squats 5x5 (same weight)
2.) Flat / Incline / Decline Barbell / Dumbbell Bench Press 5x5 (work your way up)
3.) Barbell Rows 5x5 (same weight)
4.) Standing Barbell Military Press 5x5 (same weight)
5.) Accessory: Low Volume Triceps, Calves and Abdominals

and,
here is what went down;

Barbell Squats 5x5 (same weight)
Warm-up = 2 sets of 40 kgs and 50 kgs for 10 reps each
the form was the same throughout: A2G..!
then came the working sets:

1. 60 x 5
2. 60 x 5
3. 60 x 5
4. 60 x 5
5. 60 x 5

well, since i completed all the prescribed number of reps, i think i'll icnrease the weight next time

Flat Barbell Bench Press 5x5 (work your way up)
no warm-up

1. 40 x 5
2. 45 x 5
3. 50 x 5
4. 55 x 5
5. 60 x 3

since i only went to three reps on the last set, i think i'll keep the weight the same the next time and try to complete all the 5 prescribed reps

Barbell Rows 5x5 (same weight)
no warm-up sets

1. 50x5
2. 50x5
3. 50x5
4. 50x5
5. 50x5

as you can see, i completed all the reps so i'm gonna bump the weight up next time

Standing Barbell Military Press 5x5 (same weight)

1. 30x5
2. 30x5
3. 30x5
4. 30x5
5. 30x5

thanks chuck norris and dave (chinpeace)...

i plan on doing cardio tomorrow
20 minutes - treadmill
10 minutes - stationary cycle
10 minutes - cross-trainer

i hope it works..

:)

sorry if I missed this but what is your goal for the next couple of months? Are you trying to gain mass or cut? The only reason I'm asking is your cardio is a lot for one day, (only if your doing HIIT).

My Goal(s)
 

to be 100% honest with you: i don't have any fixed goals apart from strength right now...

and i didn't want to just sit around at home: i wanna go to the gym as often as possible, and since i HAVE to take day 2 off from weightlifting, i thought i'd do cardio and Chad Waterbury's GPP (may b on that though)...

oh: though i have listed so much of cardio - i kinda noe i won't do all of it (though i have in the past done much more than that)...

Gpp
 

i am going to be doing some gpp today...

though i haven't as yet made up my mind 100% into what i am going to do,

i thought i would post what GPP work i would i actually do

i am planning on doing Chad Waterbury's GPP ASAP workout..

in case you want to know what GPP ASAP by Chad Waterburys is, here is the link
