Well, the first training of Super Squats is here and it was really terrible. For OHP, benchpress and squats, especially, I simply run out of energy after while - not that it’s only painful, but my arms/legs simply collapse and that’s it… For most of the other exercises it was rather good, but for these three it’s really bad. I feel, like I plateau on my chest/shoulders no matter, what training I do, as if I change it a little, suddenly I’m performing bad again and with benchpress I’ve never even performed well…
Training A
- Overhead press 2x10 20kg 1x10 30kg 1x10 45kg 1x6 45kg 1x5 45kg
- Bench press 1x9 62.5kg 1x7 62.5kg 1x8 62.5kg
- Barbell row 2x15 60kg
- EZ Biceps curls 2x10 30kg
- Squats 1x5 20kg 1x5 40kg 1x5 60kg 1x3 80kg 1x10 100kg
- Pullover 1x2 10kg
- Stiff-leg deadlift 1x15 85kg
Moreover, I didn’t have enough time to finish another set of pullover and toe curls.
I described my problems and posted several question about Super Squats in the thread Super Squats after Stronglifts 5x5.
Currently I’m really feeling unmotivated to do anything, as I see, that despite several months of the challenge, there’s no visual change and the new training doesn’t seem like I could do it with reasonable weights…
Anyway, I’ll try to do GPP Training 3 times a week, so that I’ll hopefully improve my condition and I’ll be able to endure the longer sets.
Since today, I’ll also try to write all my food down, as I’m gaining literally zero muscle and also I’m keeping all my fat, which I find a little weird, to be honest…
One positive point - after several months of waiting I got another job offer abroad, where I’m moving in the beginning of May. My training will go out of the window probably, but hopefully it’ll be better than here, where I couldn’t stand it anymore… So, aside from my job and workout, I’m going to take care of all the administration, rent my house here, rent some apartment abroad and we’ll see…
