Flawed's Starting Strength
So i too decided to start the Rippetoe Starting Strength program... been looking at this program for awhile but after reading hunt0r's and other success it really put me on to it. So I started Monday but havent really had the time to post a journal yet so here we go!
Just like hunt0r I am starting low with weights so I can get the correct form because Ive never been huge on squatting and Ive NEVER deadlifted before. Unfortunately one of my main goals at the moment is to lose weight... which doesnt seem like will go hand in hand with this program but we will see how it goes! STATS: Ht - 6' Wt - 215lbs BF- ? I am taking Eric's approach to starting strength and doing the ABC workout instead of ABA Monday Squats 3x5 Bench 3x5 Pullups Till failure x 2 Dips 2x8 Wednesday Squats 3x5 OH Press 3x5 Deads 1x5 Friday Squats 3x5 Bench 3x5 Rows 3x5 Chin Ups Till failure x 2 GOALS: Build My Core Muscles Slim down |
You gonna stick with this one ese????
No more missing in action this time! :D |

Ran some cardio... normally do sprint HIIT style but decided to run distance... ran roughly 4 miles... but probably about 1/5 of it was walking... threw a few sprints in there.. was suprised i made it that far though, usually my calves are cramped to hell by that point. |

The pullups/rows seem to be MIA though. What happened there?

Goodluck man. YOu should see some good results with this one.
|
Good luck :weights:
|
My goals were also weight loss when I first started and they dont really match this program, but its all good! I have just decided to eat clean and bulk away with the starting strength and I will eventually do a cut. Good luck with the program!

Squats: Bar x 8 65 x 5 85 x 3 95 x 1 140 3x5 OH Press: Bar x 8 55 x 5 65 x 3 75 x 1 95 3x5 DeadLifts: 135 1x5 ABs: Decline situps - 25lbs x 20 Leg Lifts - 0 x 10 Decline situps - 25lbs x 20 Leg Lifts - 0 x 10 Decline situps - 25lbs x 20 10 min of light cardio on the crosstrainer The whole workout felt damn good... really felt my squats... think my form is pretty decent. OH Press felt good too... havent done military press in a long time... felt confident enough to go up in weight next week. Deadlifts... what to say... did a set at 115 just to get a feel for it... Had my form looked at and then did a working set at 135... Did them sumo style... Im not sure how everyone feels about that but i liked it. I was pretty happy with my first time deadlifting.. the manager at the gym said my form is real good, which is awesome because hes a american record holder for powerlifting. He also is the one that reccomended i do them sumo style as long as i was flexible enough... |
