4/2 A
 

All I know is that this is the LAST day of the past 3 weeks of hell. I've actually slept 35 hours this week, as opposed to ~25 last week. Got some rest today after an all nighter (like tonight will be), and was feeling good enough to hit the gym in addition to my other workout.


Squats: 230 keep for form
Bench: 5x5 160 up 5
DL: 335 keep! ow.
Pullups: 3x9 w/ 45lb. missed last rep, been doing bodyweight for a while
Hammers: 3x10 40lb, up reps
Dips: kind of screwed up today, will start with 55lb friday
Abs: done

wow ive just sat and read your blog for some inspiration. I have just started my own training at the gmy following the same program your on (i have decided to leave it as it is though no accessory work to start with) did my fist session yesterday and loved it!!!

just wanted you to know that seeing your progress is a massive inspiration to me and im gagging to be back in the gym tomorrow cant come any sooner! good luck with it all and the studying. be great if you could get some before and where you are now pictures up to shows us the progress youve made im sure its excellent!

well done fella

I know the feeling :)
You're going to like the program. It' straightforward and hard to screw up, and the gains you see (at least if you're new to lifting) are enough to keep you motivated and in the gym alone for a while. Plenty of good knowledge about the program around this site. Feel free to pm me/make a post if you have any questions. Good luck!

thanks for that, i ordered the book starting strength hoping its going to turn up tomorrow or saturday cant wait to read it through properly :-) im hoping the gains are going to be good been getting my diet as sorted as possible eating lots and have been taking something called phd synergy as well so heres to following the program! have you noticed much size gain over your time doing the program so far?

I put on 15lb in my bulking cycle, and not a whole lot of that was fat. Of course, I already had a decent base layer of fat, but that's going away now :)

Off to the gym... hopefully this stretch of missing days ended with last friday!

4/7 B
 

First time I've done the B workout in a while, so it was a bit rough.

Squats: 230 keep
Overheads: 110 keep
Rows: 185 keep because my form resembled a whale humping the titanic
Pulls: not done... doing push/pull drills later in the day
Dips: 2x9 w/ 55, up 5
Hammer curls: 2x11 w/ 45 up 5

Just wanted you to know that this gave me a good chuckle. Lol, I don't mean to laugh at your misfortune but what a funny way to put it. Keep it up man. You're moving along great.
