Day 5 of Mark Rippetoe's 3x5 Training
7th March 2006
Tuesday
Workout A

Barbell Back A2G Squats [3x5] = 70 kgs

Flat Bench Press [3x5] = 60 kgs

Barbell Deadlifts [1x5] = 105 kgs

moving on, i did some accesorry exercises for abs and arms.. but today i decided to mix things up a bit... i did a giant circuit... that means less than 60 seconds rest in between exercises / sets..

Circuit

Exercise: sets x reps x weight

1.) Parallel Bar Dips: 1 x 10 x bodyweight

2.) "V" Bar Pull Downs: 1 x 8 x 70 kgs

3.) Leg Curls: 1 x 8 x 50 kgs - extra emphasis on the negatives

4.) Dumbbell Side Raises: 1 x 10 x 8 kgs in each hand

5.) Dumbbell Alternate Arm Curls: 1 x 8 x 16 kgs in each hand

6.) Dumbbell Alternate Arm French Presses: 1 x 10 x 10 kgs in each hand

Abdominal Workout:

1.) Decline Sit-Ups 2x25
2.) Flat Leg Raises 1x50
3.) Decline Crunches 2x20
4.) Dumbbell Side Bends 2x25 @ 10 kgs

Overall Impression:

1.) The bench press really took a lot out of me... since in my gym i only have 2.5 kg plates as the lowest plates, and my weight increase will therefore be only 5 lbs approx, i'm going to keep the weights the same after reach a particular point... right now, i'm thinking that once i hit 80 kgs squats, 65 kg bench, 120 kg deads and 25 kg military press, i'm going to implelemnt that rule...

2.) the circuit i feel was a good idea...

3.) fascia stretches at the end of my workout killed me

4.) good workout on the whole..
