10/10/07 - light day:

sumo dl:
60x5x2
73x3
87x2
100x5x1 - felt good. not that hard. next time 102.5.

press:
barx5x2
25x5
30x3
37x2
43x5x3 - again, felt pretty good. should have the bar closer to the heels of the palms, though.

front squat:
barx5x2
30x5
40x3
50x5x2

btw, I have a little problem. there's an instructor in my gym who knows a lot about a lot of things (and unlike me he does know anatomy, but I'm learning anatomy this year in med school anyway), and is probably one of the only people in Israel who knows who is mark rippetoe, who's glenn pendlay, that squats are good for you, etc'. BUT - and it's a big but, he only managed to deadlift 160 kgs for 1 rep. I don't know, maybe like a lot of people he doesn't know how to separate between all the good and the bad stuff on the internet. also he doesn't think that 5x5 is a good program (I thought there's a consensus it is good, assuming you change its variables to suit you).

he was nice to me, and suggested training with him and his training partners which is kewl, but I'm just not sure whether he really know what he's talking about, or is just a theoretician who will always find problems with your training.

how do you separate between the two?
