So how long you going to follow this style program? Any plans?

IW

grit 01-22-2009 07:27 PM

Figured I would stick with it till I start stalling then move to a 3x5 or mix in a couple months of a different split. But for now I don't see much reason to change it.

I have decided i want to set some mean lift goals for about the end of june or so. Bench squat and deads. Any input on numbers?

iron_worker 01-23-2009 10:07 AM

What are you maxes at now? Its easier to set goals if you know exactly where you're at.


Here are my lifts so far:

MP: 165lb
Bench: 245lb
A2G Squat: 280lb
Parallel Box Squat: 315lb
Anderson Squat: 235lb
Deadlift: 170kg (~375lb)

grit 01-26-2009 10:24 AM

I'm not really sure where things are at. thats why I've being tossing in those random heavy lifts that don't follow my 5x5. Trying to get a feel for the heavy wieghts. I think i should start throwing in a max day once in awhile to really see where the bar is. I guess maybe I'll hold of setting goals for another week or two.

Thoughts: bench went crappy between me and the four different spotters the 5x5 didn't happen f$#k. Might go back 10 lbs and move forward again.

iron_worker 02-03-2009 07:03 PM

Thats a fricken solid bench regardless. A reset could help though. Keep it up.

IW

grit 02-04-2009 11:08 AM

Thanks man. I think I should bust out a max day on bench/squat in the near future and get a feel for where things are. However I think realized I've been squating more off the balls of my feet instead of the heels. Maybe some box squats could help cure that.... however there does not appear to be any boxes at the gym.

Pitysister 02-04-2009 11:14 AM

you can use a bench....aerobic steps...small children....:)

iron_worker 02-04-2009 11:36 AM

Yes you can stand over a bench. Put one leg over either side. Works pretty good if its narrow enough.

Thanks man.
I think I'm going to start doing a 3x5 the first time I squat a new weight then the next week do the 5x5 followed by the weight increase. I really focused on pushing off my heels and really hitting rock bottom. and the squats felt pretty smooth.
