Default 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
next time, i'm gonna pump up the weights

Triceps
Press Downs
  1. 20x8
  2. 30x8
  3. 30x8

Single Arm French Press
  1. 10x10
  2. 10x10
  3. 10x10

Abdominals
Decline Sit-Ups
  1. 15
  2. 15
  3. 15

Dumbbell Side Bends

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).

Default 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)...
