klaatu21 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 just checked my numbers and although putting on 6lbs i have apparently lost 2.8% body fat, dunno how accurate those figures are (im a chronic self doubter, hense why i like to keep records) but they both seem to be going in the right directions. looks like 2013 is already off to a good start happy new year all.

klaatu21 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 so im thinking of throwing a cardio/core day in between weight days, is this a waste of time? im thinking of cable crunches, handing leg raises, weighted side bends and cable wood choppers, im thinking of using the same principles as 5x5 by doing high weight low rep, and slowly progressing each week, is this a good idea? any other recommendations? i hate doing crunches and just find em boring as hell. im not really one of thos guys obsessed with a six pack, i just want to strengthen my core to help with squats/deads, plus it gives me an excuse to get down the gym an extra time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaatu21 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) 05/01/13day eleven of strong lifts 5x5 squats45kgbench32.5kgbarbell row42.5kg squats were very ropey today but i held form and just managed it, bench is still a piece of cake and bent over rows were an absolute dream, first time ive actually enjoyed doing them, ive tweaked my form and realised my breathing was the wrong way round haha good solid reps after that and not a single bit of bounce so bloody proud of my self Edited January 9, 2013 by klaatu21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hey ed! Throwing in some core work would be fine but I would recommend doing it on workout days and save rest days for resting Glad you're still going strong and enjoying stronglifts mate, how long are you planning on following it??

klaatu21 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Fair enough, mid may I'm thinking, that's just over six months from when I started, what would you recommend to do after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Well I'm soon to be starting wendlers 5/3/1 which I'm stoked about, would recommend checking it out for when you finish stronglifts, obviously you'll need to ignore his dietary advice but yeah stronglifts should have you sorted till summer then? I'm gonna need to throw in a bit of cardio/eat a bit less towards may because I live on an island surrounded by beaches and I'm vain.. Haa! Hope your weekend is going smoothly dude!

Mini Forklift Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I am more than happy to email you my 5/3/1 ebook if it was something you were keen to try out mate. It's definately one of the better strength programmes out there, pretty simple to follow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
