Awesome calculator!! But I think it did it really wrong then becasue what I did yesterday didnt look like that OHP day!! I thought week one was just 3x5 with the main lift, last set being do as many as you can and then assistance work if you wanted. I failed reading class tho…

I’m not sure that that website is always correct. I remember noticing inaccuracies in it when I first started. I ended up just using excel and spending an hour doing all of the calculations. It sucked at the time but I never had to think about my numbers for months.

Not sure why the problems? However, I can tell you that the main lifts consist of 6 sets not 3. That also includes the assistance too if you’re following the BBB template.
This is not the best pic, but you get the idea of how your OHP should run on your first week, running BBB.
Hope this helps somewhat.

HA! I am running Mac. Or should I say the Mac is running me. Who says an old dog can’t learn new tricks. Thanks.
Yay, for Peaches!
Hmmm…all this talk of 5/3/1 is getting me interested…
EDIT: Does anyone really do the foamrolling/stretching/jumping rope?

I foam roll occassionally when I start to get pissed at how soreness and tightness I have. I always tell myself I should do it more often. Nothing else though.
i make my slaves massage me

So you find yourself needing to eat a quick dinner out. You want to eat healthy too. Where do you go and what do you get?
My three usuals are:
Chipotle- I get a chicken salad, black beans, no rice, tomato salsa, no cheese, guacamole. I let the guacamole be my dressing.
Greek - we have a local Greek place and I get grilled chicken and rice or steak kabobs and rice
Pei Wei- Asian salad or spicy chicken salad
I do the stretching and foam roll. I use the treadmill or run outside rather than jump rope.

While I wouldn’t go so far as to call it repulsive, I couldn’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t at least keep things tidy and trimmed. It’s not that hard clean things up with a few quick swipes of your razor when you’re already shaving.
Nevermind what’s “sexy” or “in”. It just seems like things could get unnecessarily messy, especially during that time.[/quote]
If your man can handle a straight razor, have him give you a shave. Dangerous erotica.[/quote]
I remember watching a porno with a scene like that…except it was an ugly butler doing the shaving and there was no sex involved.
umm sounds like some bad porno…
Maybe I read the wrong program when I looked to start…the one I found was from a search here in articles. The picture of the template you have there has alot more sets ex: all the sets of 10 and 6x5’s (except for that 3 rep one)
What I did for OHP day was
OHP (numbers based off of 90% of what I thought was my 1 rm (85) but I am pretty sure I set it to low, I can adjust next week)
5x50
5x55
13x65 (leaving at least 2-3 reps in the tank)
and then accessory.

That looks right to me. The reason why the template looks like it has so many sets is because it is including warm up sets and “boring but big” which are the sets of 10 at the end. I did these same numbers for my last press workout…and got 65 for 3 lol It probably is too low for you but it’s better to start low than too heavy.
13 at 65 is impressive! My 1RM is 88lbs but there’s no way I could get 13 reps at 66lbs (30kg). You’ve got more in you for sure.

I found myself having to find a meal in a mall food court recently. Went with the salad bar, the oil and vinegar dressing was vinegar that had peppers in it. It was awesome! I also like to get a parfait from McD when in a bind. It’s not that bad cal wise, and you’re not that weird healthy one that doesn’t get anything.
The Pei Wei Asian Chicken salad is good but I am always hungry still afterwards.
I visit a lot of amusement parks and it’s always a pain trying to find food that is reasonably healthy and gluten free (I’m not coeliac so I don’t worry about gluten in small amounts, but I have enough of an intolerance to make bread, pizza and pasta a no-no).
I can usually find something in most UK parks (and the parks I visited in Korea and Japan just served local food, which is awesome) but if anyone has any tips on healthy park for in the US, let me know. I usually drive my friends mad by walking around the park for ages trying to find something that isn’t pizza or burgers or fried chicken or subs.

Oh, I see! I may add the extra sets in at some point but for now I am just going to do it with out.
