Default I have no idea what I am doing. Haphazardly training my way to being a Strongman.
Welcome to the new log. With Nats being this week, I figured it was time for a new log since I wont be going. I am currently running starting strength for my workouts and doing carb back loading as my diet philosophy. I have been shedding a few pounds a week and my lifts are getting better each workout.



10/30/2012-SS Week 2 Workout A
Squat:
2X5@45
1X5@95
1X3@145
1X2@185
3X5@235
*Squats felt crappy today even though the weight wasnt difficult. My left wrist is not in good shape right now and has been really painful.

Bench:
2X5@45
1X5@95
1X3@115
1X2@145
3X5@165
*Still really easy and still really painful

Deadlift:
1X5@315
1X5@345
*Decided to drop this a touch for now. Should have worked up to my top set better, but there was a dude doing something that resembled deadlifts and already had 6 plates on the bar so I just started rippin and tearin.

Notes: Bodyweight right at 247, not bad after my weekend binge for my birfday. This is the lightest I have consistently been since I did my first cut in 2008. I feel strong, just need some nagging stuff to get better.
