6foot's summer Madcow 5x5 log
I'm Greg, just joined yesterday and upon introducing myself i was advised to start a training log so here it goes. I'm 20 about 215 pounds and am 6'3" tall. I play rugby at school but now i'm home for the break. Started madcow 5x5 program last week but was humbled pretty quickly with the amount of squatting i will be doing during the coming weeks. Made some adjustments for this week and actually took the time to find the 10% to 15% increases in my weights. I'm trying to get stronger this summer and put on some size while doing it. As far as my diet goes i'll quote an article i saw on muscle and strength and just "eat lots of dead animals". I'm not exactly sure where my maxes are right now but they are definitely not the same as they were at the beginning of the season around march. I'd like to get back to those points and beyond this summer. So here it goes Squats 149x5 175x5 197x5 221x5 254x5 Bench 112x5 131x5 153x5 175x5 197x5 Rows 85x5 107x5 125x5 147x5 169x5 Assistance Work: Seated good mornings(Dont have a place to do extensions and was told this was a suitable replacement) 74x8 74x8 Weighted sit ups 22x16 22x16 22x16 22x16 Overall thought it was a goodworkout. tried to keep form as strict as possible on everything. Looking forward to making progress and upping the numbers! and the weights are all goofy numbers cause my dad has 45 pound plates and then all the smaller plates are all metric. Also found out that the bar we have is only 30 pounds not 45 although it looks like an olympic bar |

another good workout, squats felt good, looking forward to improving the numbers on friday. I'm happy with the overhead press. I'm using the full range of motion rather then just bringing it down to my head and the pushing it up again.
Squats 149x5 175x5 197x5 197x5 Overhead Press 68x5 79x5 96x5 112x5 Deadlift 175x5 210x5 243x5 276x5 Assistance: Pull ups (bodyweight) 9,7,7 Planks (30 second rests) 60x3 For progressing the overhead press and the deadlifts should i just continue to add 5pounds every week as long as i can get 5 reps? wasnt sure what to do with these lifts since i am only doing them once a week. Also to progress with the planks would it be better to cut the rest periods or increase the time i am doing them? Any help is much appreciated |

Was looking forward to todays workout from the time i got out of the garage on wednesday. I spent all yesterday thinking about it and couldnt wait to get in there today. Had to do some yardwork in the morning but the rain came and gave me what i had been craving. put ride the lightining in the cd player and went to it.
Squats 149x5 175x5 197x5 221x5 259x3<--PR 197x8 Bench 112x5 131x5 153x5 175x5 202x3<-- PR 153x8 BB Rows 85x5 107x5 125x5 147x5 175x3 <--PR 125x8 Assistance Weighted Dips 8x25<--PR 6x25 6x25 BB Curl 63x8 63x8 63x8 Skull Crushers 63x8 63x8 63x8 Not sure if all the triples are actually PR's but i have not logged anything before that has been higher so i'm going to say they are. I benched 265 at a fundraiser for our team so i would assume at least that has been higher but thats beside the point. Overall felt great. Love the way this program makes you progress. Before I was never really sure what to do for progression and our workouts at our trainers wwere such high pace that we didnt have time to think about what you did last time you just had to do it. Can't wait to get back in the garage on monday!
