Default Rippetoe's, number 3's a charm.

So here we go. 3rd time I'm starting this goddam program. Hope to see some gains on it.

right now NO ACCESSORY WORK, I will ease into that in two weeks or so.

just the standard A workout 3x5 squat, bench, and 1x5 deadlift

then B workout 3x5 squat, 3x5 press, 3x5 row.

Tuesday:

3x5 SQUAT - 190 .. pretty good form. Knees kept going inward, had to fight to keep them outside. But when I did this I would lean forward and feel it in my midback pushing up out of the hole and not in my legs. Going to try to work on this today.

3x5 BENCH - tried 115, war right at failurre on 5th rep of first set. I decided to drop the weight to 110, and I completed 2x5. will bump up to 115 next workout.

1x5 deadlift @ 275. I guessed the weight I should start at here. I arched my back and pulled up hard, my back seemed to round out near the top of the lift, might all be in my head but I'm pretty sure form was good here.

Welp, about to hit the gym (it's thursday)

let's hope I get some damn muscle in these scrawny arms!

EDIT: and oh yeah! I'm going to get videos up of my form on the big three I'm doing today, please feel free to comment.
