HEY GUYS!!! Day 10
So pretty good day… things are starting to get heavy for me now, but thats good cause now I can start to make some real progress!!!
So today was Pattern B
SQUAT
2x5 @ 45
1X5 @ 55
1x5 @ 65
1x5 @75
1x5 @ 85
5x5 @ 90 startin to feel it… but in a good way. Gonna be squattin over a hundred in a weeks time!!!
Overhead Press - so this one I really struggle with, I have a bad left shoulder… and I can really feel it affecting this… so I guess its time to actually get that looked at… I have avoided it for years, but how will I lift heavy if I don’t sort this out!! So i didn’t increase my weight on this from last time… I think it went a little better… but still not ace… so not gonna increase next time either.
2x5 @ 45
1x5 @ 55
5x5 @ 60
Deadlift ( i love deadlifts… I don’t know why but they make me feel like a superstar… even at low weight ahah)
5x5 @ 115
Pullups ASSISTED -60lbs
Big improvements guys!! Last time I struggled on a couple of reps, but this time…
5x5 it was a struggle but I made all my reps!!! maybe ill drop down 10lbs next time!!!
Dips ASSISTED - 60lbs
5 x 5
Leg Lifty Thingys
5x20
So thats my progress peeps… stayed the same at some… improved in others, at least I didnt get worse at anything!!!
I wouldn’t worry about your overhead press. I think a lot of people on strength programs find that lift stalls quicker than most. Just keep pluggin’ away !
And deadlifting is pure awesome-ness at any weight

Second on what Jenn says. OHP stalls far quicker than anything else, usually. And especially for females on average.

This is what I really appreciate about most female lifters. They are not afraid to progress at the appropriate rate unlike most dudes who start way too heavy and up the weight way too quickly on top of that. Better to start light and progress slowly than to constantly spin your wheels burning out on weights you can’t handle.
Barbell row ( upped my weight, I sucked at it so weight will stay the same for next time)
5x5 @ 80
Umm so assisted pullups were out today because it was apparently the most popular machine to REST on and do pullups with max assistance… so I just did some stupid reverse pulluppy things… not worthy of marking down.
And Ill do some abs later tonight as a study break.
K so I did abs tonight as a study break… last time spock made fun of me for putting 11 exercises at 25 reps ahha so ill break it down (its the P90X ab ripper routine… pretty much)

Ok guys… I know you have been dying to find out how todays session went… Friday is a workout day after a two day break… and this time around I was studying for an exam… so snacking occurred often!!!
Weight 151.8
Squat
ALL OF THE SAME WARM up squats as every other day, two sets of five with the bar, then one set of five adding ten pounds each time
then the actual weight sets
5@ 100 lbs I’m there guys!! I could feel it but I still wasn’t bad at all.
Overhead press
2x5 @ 45
1x5 @ 55
5x5 @ 60 … still hard… but i sensed some improvement, my face wasn’t as twitchy this time, and my body contorted less haha. Will stick at 60 for the next round
Deadlift I love deadlifts, even though they tear my left hand apart, i really love them
5@ 120 lbs still goin super good with this so will up it again next round. Although my grip sucks, i started using chalk but I can feel my weakling hands not holding it good enough still.
