BP: 100 x 5, 115 x 5, 130 x 8
Yeah, I decided to stop nofap for now. I’ve been a part of that community for years, and I feel the habit is under control now. Once or twice a week doesn’t seem too excessive. I remember at one point I was jerking it to porn every day. My problem isn’t fapping, per say, it’s procrastination. Go figure. Yeah, Imma stick with 5/3/1 for the foreseeable future.
BB Row: 70 x 5, 85 x 5, 95 x 10
Weight: 147.6
Squat: 135 x 5, 160 x 5, 180 x 3, 200 x 4
I really need to eat more.
Back to StrongLifts 5 x 5.
Squat: 160 x 5 x 5
BP: 115 x 5 x 5
BB Rows: 100 x 5 x 5
Squat: 165 x 5 x 5
MP: 75 x 5 x 5
DL: 225 x 1 x 5
So I just realized that I’ve been doing the deadlift incorrectly. Not form, just the rest times. I thought it was like: 1 rep. Rest a minute or two. Another rep. Rest. Repeat.
Wrong.
It’s one continuous set, having just checked back to the website. So I will be going down to 185 next time. I should definitely be strong enough for it.
Weight: 153.2 lbs
Squat: 170 x 5 x 5
BP: 125 x 5 x 5
BB Rows: 105 x 5 x 5
Upped BP by 10 lbs instead of 5 because 115 was way to easy last time. Had no problem with 125 today. Thinking of 135 next time…
I want to be 160 lbs by the beginning of may. My plan is also 170 lbs by this time next year. Should be doable. I don’t want to be 200 lbs anymore. 180 - 185 should be good enough for me. I’ve never been over 165.
Weight: 154.2 lbs
Squat: 175 x 5 x 5
MP: 80 x 5 x 5 (Last rep was harder than expected. Will have to try extra hard to get 5 x 5 next time)
DL: 135 x 5 (Warm-up), 155 x 5
Will do 175 for DL next time. Not in much of a hurry tbh. The pace of 5 x 5 is blistering in and of itself. School starts on Monday. Going to Vegas tomorrow, and no way I’m paying $25 for a damn workout. So on Thursday I’m planning to just do push-ups. Hopefully I can find a pull up bar or something there.
Weight: 156 lbs.
Was on vacation in Vegas. Kinda sucked because I’m not interested in gambling, my mom was sick the entire time, and it was pretty cold outside.
I brought my ab wheel, and was able to put in a decent workout.
Thursday:
Push-Ups: 100 in 12.5 minutes.
Ab rollouts: 10
Today:
Squat: 180 x 5 x 5
MP: 85 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 3 (Will repeat weight)
DL: 185 x 5
Bent-Over Lateral Raises: 10 x 10, 10, 8, 8, 6, 4, 4
Really glad my weight is improving. Hopefully I’ll be able to add 4 pounds in 4 months. Ha ha. Abs are still sore when I massage them, but remain strong if not stronger than before when squatting. Was expecting to stall on MP. front delts were still kind of sore from the push-ups. I’ll be able to reach 90 or 95 soon.
Weight: 157 lbs
So I decided to start working out at the school gym because 7:30 AM might be too early for the neighbors. Sucks that I have to start waiting, and the increments are going up by 10 and not 5. I could wake up even earlier… but my life would suck.
I think I’ll work out until my neighbors complain. Yes, I am an asshole.
Squat: 185 x 5 x 5
BP: 135 x 5 x 5 (Glad I got this, it’s a 10 lbs jump)
BB Rows: 115 x 5 x 5 (Ditto as above)
Weight: 157lbs
So I decided to work out at home until the neighbors complain, which I doubt because I’m pretty successful at keeping the banging noises down. It’s at 7:00 AM, so not totally unreasonable. Didn’t have the best sleep last night due to indigestion, so I was worried I wouldn’t have a good workout. Worried for nothing. Also, I’m doing OHP instead of MP, so I’ll change my label to reflect that.
Squat: 190 x 5 x 5
OHP: 85 x 5 x 5 (pretty easy)
DL: 195 x 5 (Changed the format once again)
Glad that the OHP was pretty easy. It helped that they weren’t sore from excessive push-ups two days before. I’ve been eating more, which is evident from my retained weight. I have minor problems with farts being frequent and smelly. Ha ha. I dunno.
Weight: 156 lbs
Squat: 195 x 5 x 5
BP: 140 x 5, 5, 5, 4, 4
BB Rows: 120 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 3
Sucks that I’m only gonna progress on squats. hopefully I can progress on the other two next on Thursday. My pre-workout nutrition was kind of nonexistent, so that’s probably why I didn’t do so well, but I was feeling kind of nauseous.
Squat: 185 x 5 x 5
MP: 85 x 5 x 5
DL: 200 x 5
Underestimated myself today. All three lifts were relatively easy. I haven’t worked out for a week, so I didn’t want to be sore on Tuesday. I think it was Tate who said that nothing will sabotage progress more than ego. I’ll be squatting 200 lbs by next week, so it’s no biggie.
Weight: 158lbs
Squat: 205 x 5 x 5 (Cool)
BP: 140 x 5, 5, 2, 2, 2 (Damn)
BB Rows: 120 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 3 (Not as bad as I was expecting)
Surprised I barely lost strength on the BB Rows. Will probably drop BP down to 120 next time. Will increment squats and hold the BB Rows. Think I gained some fat. Might want to clean up my diet. Pleased that I didn’t lose strength on squat at all. I didn’t feel challenged by my squat numbers lately, so I wanted to push myself. Want to get back up to 225 ASAP.
Weight: 159lbs
Squat: 210 x 5 x 5
MP: 90 x 5 x 5
DL: 215 x 5
Rested like 5 seconds before the last rep of DL. Felt like shit for a while, but feel good now. NoFap does seem to help with workout consistency.
158 lbs
Squat: 215 x 5 x 5
BP: 140 x 5 x 5 (Ohhhh yeah)
BB Rows: 120 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 3 (Darn)
BB Curls: Bar x 5, 5, 5, 8
Skullcrushers: Bar x 5, 5, 5, 8
Stoked I got the 140 BP. Really disappointed about the BB Rows, but the previous exercises must’ve tired me out. Decided to add in arms at the end. I also tried a couple of home hamstring workouts. Man, my hammies are weak as hell. Think I’ll do floor leg curls as often as I can from now on. Hopefully I’ll improve.
Hi all, I’m back. I screwed up my finger near the beginning of the month, so I laid off the lifting for awhile. I noticed that my hammies were way too weak, and squats were just overpowering my quads. So I decided to stop doing squats, and doing easier variations of the floor GHR without screwing up my knees. Decided to do my own program. Its four exercises. Will add in more exercises later if I feel like it.
MP: 75 x 8 x 3
Pull-Ups: BW x 8, 6, 5
BB Rows: 95 x 2?
65 x 8 x 3
BP: 115 x 8 x 3
WIll move the BB Rows and the BP up to the front next time. Other than that, workout went well. Could really feel the pump in my upper body. Will still be working out only 3 days a week.
Switched it up.
BB Rows: 75 x 8 x 3
BP: 120 x 8 x 3
Pull-Ups: BW x 7, 5, 2
OHP: 80 x 5, 65 x 6, 5
Switched it again. Will stick with this routine.
BB Rows: 85 x 8 x 3
OHP: 75 x 8 x 2
90 x 6
Pull-Ups: BW x 5 x 3
BP: 115 x 8 x 3
Strange, wasn’t sore at all today.
BB Rows: 90 x 8 x 3
OHP: 85 x 8, 8, 4
Pull-Ups: BW x 8, 8, 3
BP: 120 x 8, 8, 4
