Squats 5x3-5 ramped to 137.5kg
Bench Press 5x3-5 ramped to 90kg
Barbell Rows 5x3-5 ramped to 100kg
skull crushers and curls

I've gotta start rememberring to do that back off set. Gonna eat as much as I can over this weekend.

I'm eager to beat my previous squats for reps record.

Squats 5x5 ramped to 137.5kg
Bench Press 5x5 ramped to 90kg

21/7/2010

Squats 4x5 ramped to 132.5kg
Military Press 4x5 ramped to 57.5kg
Deadlifts 4x5 ramped to 135kg

Took everything to get the reps in on the OHP. Not sure whether to start microloading or trying to increase by 2.5kg again. It's weird and cool at the same time how I did 5 reps with a weight that was just 2.5kg off my max.

Felt like walking death today. Didn't expect the extra rep on the OHP.

Definitely making nice improvements...

It took ages for my supplements to get deliverred and since half my protein intake comes from shakes (there is not enough food around the house) I didn't see the point in working out until I had them. Glad with the PR anyway.

I decided to do SS since I never really milked the gains out of it and I think I can gain faster progress on it than on madcow. I'm starting off nice and light to allow further progress.

23/8/2010
Squat 3x5 115kg
OHP 3x5 40kg
Pullups 3x5

The squats felt much heavier than they were supposed to. I guess it was due to poor sleep. I'm gonna increase all my loads except the deadlift by 2.5kg each workout. The deadlift will be 5kg each workout. Let me know what you guys think.
