CJ the (soon-to-be) Mighty Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Jan. 12 Weight: 327.2 Squats: 155 - 3 x 5 Bench Press: 105 - 3 x 5. 75, 1 x 8 Deadlift: 175 - 1 x 5 Thoughts: After jumping around changing programs every couple weeks I have fully committed myself to running Starting Strength for as long as possible before I can no longer progress day to day. The only alteration to the program that I am making is adding a backoff set of 8 after each days pressing. The first day felt good and I am excited to see how far I can push this.

CJ the (soon-to-be) Mighty Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Jan. 15 Weight: 329.0 Squats: 160 - 3x5 Overhead Press: 85 - 3x5, 60 - 1x8 Power Clean: 75 - 5x3 Thoughts: I haven't done power cleans since I was in high school (a looong time ago). Due to not having bumper plates or a platform in my basement gym I did them as hang cleans. They felt really good and relatively easy - so I will continue progressing the weight on them. The other lifts also felt really good. Quote "Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them.

CJ the (soon-to-be) Mighty Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Jan. 27 Squat: 175 - 3x5 Bench Press: 115 - 3x5, 85 - 1x8 Deadlift: 195 - 1x5 Thoughts: I used to have a really problem with grip on deadlifts. In my last couple of sessions, I have really slowed down my pace between reps - breathing, relaxing my grip, and readjusting my grip. It has gone much better for me.
