captfit Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 15/12/12WEEK 8 WORKOUT #20 B SQUATSBar x 10 8 x 27kg5x47 kg5x5x72kg 3 times during my set for Squats i thought this is it i am not doing anymore but somehow just pushed myself and finished my 5x5 . Overhead PressBar x 10 1x5x22 kgs1x5x27kgs5x5 x 37 kg Deadlift1x5x57 kgs1x5x77 kgs1x5x87 kgs This felt great , lifting 7kgs more than my bodyweight definitely feels good , i did get a video too for today but have to pack for tomorrow's flight so no time to upload . Overall Really heavy workout today so i wonder if 3 days of squats a week is getting too much now with the increasing weight . I am leaving again to Bangalore for 4 days so next workout will be after 4-5 days only , but maybe i will use the hotel gym for some light workouts .

vegan_rossco Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Fair enough mate! Yeah all good, couldn't get in the gym yesterday so compromised and worked out from home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Nice work on the deads, they're coming up nicely. Just see how you go with the squatting, 3 days a week might take your body a little time to adjust to squatting with that much frequency. Where are you off to now, business or pleasure?

captfit Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hello guys its been a long 5 days i have been out of action , couldn't do any workout in gym , did get some time to swim once and few game of table tennis but that was all . Now what i am thinking is that i only have 2 days this week that i can workout that is Fri and Sat , Sun the gym is closed and Mehdi says we shouldn't do 2 workouts together so i am thinking is tomorrow i will do my workout A Squats , Bench and Rows . And on Saturday i will do Workout B without Squats that is OHP and DeadLifts . That way i will have 2 workout sessions this week . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just see how you go with the squatting, 3 days a week might take your body a little time to adjust to squatting with that much frequency. Where are you off to now, business or pleasure? Well this trip and the previous one were both business . I am an Airline Pilot by profession so end up going for layovers once in a while , luckily i am still positioned in Delhi my hometown but in a month or so i will be posted to Kolkata and i wonder how easy it will be to work out there .

captfit Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 21/12/12WEEK 9 WORKOUT #21 A SQUATS10xBar8x27kgs5x37kgs5x53kgs 5x5x74.5kgs I needed some support in the last set not much but just a little so that i dont lockout in the bottom position . These are really killing me i take good 30 mins to finish with just squats , I have no idea how will i do linear progression for 5 more weeks grrrr BENCH PRESS10xBar10x27kgs 5x37kgs 5x5x54.5kgs Instead of the required 2.5kg Increment from my previous workout i went up by 5 kg and i pulled it off Next week i'l reach my First goal which i set when i started , that was to have a 20kg plate each side of the bar . BENT OVER ROWS Couldn't do them today as i was out of steam and time by the time i finished above so i plan on doing them tomorrow with DEadlifts instead of doing Squats i wll add them . Shouldn't be too much on by back i hope Barbell Rows and DeadLifts together . I am happy with the progress i mean the squats do take the hell out of me in terms of effort but i still haven't stalled and next workout i will meet my Initial Squats goal as well that is 30kgs Weight each side of the barbell and that would be my BodyWeight Squat .

captfit Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 22/12/12WEEK 9 WORKOUT #22 B Back to Back to Stonglifts workout are killer indeed but well have to squeeze them in somehow when you dont get enough time .So here's my today's log . No SQUATS as i just did 5x5 of my new PB yest Overhead Press10xBar10x27kgs5x7.5kgs 5x5x39.5kgs I had to get a spot to assist my last two sets , i almost went off balance in the last set with the barbell overhead ( That was a scary feeling ) but tightened my gut got the body in balance and finished it . Pendlay ROWs No Warmups on this one5x5x54.5kgs DEADLIFTS 5x57kgs3x67kgs3x77kgs 1x5x92kgs PBI guess i did screw with my form a little bit on this , will put up a video by today for the same , as in when i was getting up i could actually feel my shoulders curling inward to lift the weight and not up and back . Overall it was a good workout considering i just did heavy squats a day before i managed to achieve all my goals for the session , as for as OHP i have decided to increase the weight next time but just keep a spot around to get done with the nasty last rep or two . I am planning to get some Whey Protein as a christmas gift to myself will start with it in January. i am already at the peek of all my lifts so i am happy the year is ending on a good note here , i am definitely stronger than ever before but its a long journey before i sit back and relax .

Mika Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi, I have read all your log and your progress are really impressive, particularly in december ! I have grip problem too, and I train it with shrug and farmer's walk. Maybe you can try it... I will continue to follow your log. Nice work !

I have grip problem too, and I train it with shrug and farmer's walk. Maybe you can try it... I will continue to follow your log. Nice work ! Thank you so much for the appreciation , December has been a little slow as you can see from the dates i am not getting chance to workout regularly but even i am happy with all my lifts i guess because of the extended rest between workouts i have been able to get to new PR's continuously without stalling as of yet . You are most welcome to check in and chat Cheers Happy New Year / Happy Lifting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 For grip I do things like walking on the treadmill holding dumbbells (10mins at a time), bar holds/hangs and Farmers Walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegan_rossco Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 5x5 at almost 60Kg is really strong mate! I'm so impressed with your progress how much longer are you following stronglifts for? any plans for what you'll train with after you finish?
