You'll just have to imagine the workout

[gothamsreckoning]

This is my first online workout log. I'm only going to list work sets. The plan is to keep this going over time and be at some semi respectable weights in 2013. This workout should look pretty familiar. Microloading for the win.

3/24/13

Weight 157 (Height 5'7ish...I won't be updating the height haha I just want to give you an idea)

Squat 2x5x205
SLDL 1x10x175
Bench 2x5x160
BB Row (pretty strict...close to Pendlay style but with bitch weight) 2x5x130
Static Grip 185lbs x :30

Yes, I realize this is rookie stuff, but it's what I've got. Next weight session will be Weds.

Looks good man, everyone started somewhere on weights. Progress is what to aim for.

Can't wait to see this

Thanks guys!!! Turns out that I have two workouts to post. I need to get used to logging stuff here after I get done.

Friday March 29

Bench 145x5x5x9 Curl 55x2x12 Deadlift 245x9

Today

OHP 97.5 x 5 x 5 x10 Chin +10 x5 x5 x9 Squat 190 x5 x5 x10

Today's workout was a bitch, and a good exercise in mental toughness. I struggle with waking up too early and not going back to sleep, and combined with longish hours at work, the first squat set felt 30 lbs heavier. I then got the Steve P video about training when it's tough and the BBD video about cultivating motivation going through my head, and the last two sets felt like paper. I had more than 10 in my on my AMRAP set, but I chose to leave a few behind for the future.

Thanks again for the encouragement. Not that I'd "quit" on a workout, but another part of todays workout was knowing that I'd have to come here and explain a half ass performance.

Squat 2 x 5 with 207.5 lbs
Sldl 1 x 10 with 177.5 lbs
Bench 2 x 5 with 161 lbs
BB Row 2 x 5 with 131 lbs
Static Grip :40 with 185lbs

Little bit of progress. I got a little greedy with my free time last week and did too much in regards to my schedule, but oh well. The numbers are up a little, and bodyweight is the same so we're good.

All progress is good progress. Well done.
