Weight after breakfast and BM= 208

Calories for the day: 3100, 250g of protein.

My first day trying the the starting strength excersizes.

My form will be terrible, but I'm trying to get all I can from videos and the starting strength book..

Workout A

Squat:

2 x bar x 5
2 x 50 x 5
1 x 70 x 5
3 x 80 x 5


Wish I had a video to show you guys.. But it FELT ok..

Was weird but I felt it more in the glutes than the quads..

Tightening up the traps really worked.. No pain in the back at all..

My rotator cuffs however were begging for mercy!!

Bench:

2 x bar x 10
1 x 30 x 5
1 x 40 x 5
1 x 50 x 5
1 x 70 x 5
1 x 90 x 3
2 x 80 x 2

Some bad form on my last set of 80 made me want to go down in weight and do 2 more sets with good form.. Was pretty spent after those..


Deadlift

1 x 50 x 5
1 x 70 x 5
1 x 90 x 5
1 x 110 x 5
1 x 130 x 5

Felt good, though my form was pretty bad, I imagine.. Made sure to scrape my shins going up, lower by sticking my butt out, more than bending over.

Abs

3 x incline crunches with 25lbs on chest.
45 x 2 reverse bycycles

Both of these hurt my hip flexors after those squats, so from now on I'll just do regular crunches

Can someone suggest good warm-up progressions to my working sets, now that I've zeroed the starting set weights?
