Thought I would start a new log for my 5x5. I am currently in week 3, day 2. Up @ 4:45, coffee, protein and oats and out the door. Warmed up with light rows, military presses, squats, SLDL’s and light db work for the shoulder area. Stretched for 5-10 minutes and ready for the work. Everything is for reps of 5.
Squat: 255/ 315/ 335/ 335
Incline: 125/ 135/ 155/ 175
Deadlift: 240/ 275/ 315/ 335
Standing shoulder press: 115/ 125/ 135/ 150
Stretch again and call it a wrap.
Rest day tomorrow.
Thanks for all the welcomes, I have been spending a lot of times in different parts of the forums, I like this place already.
Push it to the edge.

I hate this place. Used to be cool, but everyone left. Now it’s just me keeping it real…and the rest of the cool people that didn’t leave, but most of them did.
Sen, some of us never left and some of us still like you.[/quote]
You’re…not just saying that are you?? You still like me ???

I like the grill… I wish I had a gas grill… my gas grill… stainless MAC DADDY grill… but NO!!! the State of Florida deems me unworthy… I hate my life now…
Derek all over that first responder…must have that rep to keep up with.
dday: this is my second go around with the 5x5 and I like it more now than the first time, and it works.
Thanks Sen, liss and damutt
Yeah Jersey I’m doing it M-W-F, following a Bill Starr 5X5 plug n play spreadsheet, plug your 5 rep maxes at the beginning and it gives you the workout for 12 weeks.

Good stuff LED. I started with 5X5 prior to moving on to 5/3/1. Been doing 5/3/1 for the better part of 6 months now and loving every minute of it. Can’t wait to follow your progress.

Do you have any goals you’re working towards?[/quote]
Thanks late, I need to check deeper into the 5/3/1, I see it’s very popular around here. My goals right now are just to keep progressing in strength and to be stronger at 50 than I have ever been.
