End of 5X5, Start of Max-OT
lrighty. So 5X5 has been great. i’ve achieved quite a fair amount of gains throughout this near 5 months.
10th October 2006 Lifting Stats (5RM):
Bench: 59.1 kg (130 lb)
Squat: 86.4 kg (190 lb)
Deadlift: 75.0 kg (165 lb)
Barbell Rows: 50.0 kg (110 lb)
2nd February 2007 Lifting Stats (5RM):
Bench: 75 kg (165 lb) 35lb increase (127%)
Squat: 102.3 kg (225 lb) 35lb increase (118.4%)
Deadlift: 104.5 kg (230 lb) 65lb increase (139.4%)
Barbell Rows: 75 kg (165 lb) 55lb increase (150%)
I’ve decided to change my workout routine to something around Max-OT, but still aiming at maximum poundage and constantly increasing.
5X5 has been a blast, i might even get back to it in future. but for now, i’m going to experiment with Max-OT and see how it works out for me and my kinda busy schedule.
was wondering if i could change the title of the thread or would i have to start a new one. *ponders
