Marauder Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I'll be honest, my 48 year old self feels a little silly using words like gainz. LOL. Mixtapes, tho... After a dabble with StrongCurves after home gym acquisition, I've decided to head a little more simple and mainstream with SL 5x5. I may modify a bit for recovery if any problems arise, i.e. squats to 3x5 or eliminating the hip thrusts or increasing smaller amounts (I have really cute little 1 1/4# plates that I want to use ). Step count is mostly to get me moving a bit more outside of the weights. I sit on my butt all day and it's no good. Food/macros are Eat to Perform dictated. I put in for a coach review today, so might get a bump in food. Trying still to get more protein outside of protein drinks, but man is it hard to balance more protein without getting crazy on fat or sodium. Plus, I'm kind of digging on my midday coffee/Fairlife protein milk/protein powder treat. Heavy Metal Stronglifts 5x5 starting today, week 0. Goal: (5 weeks x 3 workouts) - 2 just in cases = 12 workouts minimum. 15=better. Hip Hop Get to stepping. Need to get my steps up to increase everyday moving. Goal: 10 days greater than 10k, 10 days 9k-10k, 10 days 8k-9k. 5 days of slack. Alternative ETP macros tracking. Goal: Hit greens (+/-10g carb and protein, +/-5g fat) 90% of days. Funk Domestic rangering complete. Goal: 3x/week, 30 minutes+. 9 Quote Rangering since Sept 2015 Link to comment
Marauder Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Workout 1 completed this morning. Stronglifts as instructed with barbell only (even for rows, because I hadn't done those at all yet). Added 3x5 barbell hip thrusts for booty (for Sloth and Mr. Marauder). Yeah, that was pretty damn easy even for me. I imagine I will get there soon enough though. Clearly increasing weight as instructed for each next time. I'll make up for it with an extra lap around the park today. Yay for clean air!! 9 Quote Rangering since Sept 2015 Link to comment
