Getting Stronger All The Time
Today’s workout (5/14) was:
- Squat - 3×5x245
- Bench - 3×5x190
- Deads - 1×5x245
- Dips - 2×12
- Abs - 2×12
Everything went great. Squats are super-easy now. I have focused on hip-drive and this seems to have sharpend up my form.
I missed the last rep on bench. Well, I didn’t miss it, I just didn’t bother to go for it. That’s going to haunt me until Monday.
Gonna have to start adding weigh to Dips and Abs. Just wary of doing weighted dips because of the pain in my elbow (which is actually gone) and a weird aching in my left forearm. Not sure what caused it, just felt it after I was done working out. I remember a similar feeling in my calves when I played basketball everyday.
I think my bench is pretty much at the highest it will get on this program, so I would like to switch it up to some more hypertrophy-specific training. Not necessarily HST, but maybe. I haven’t decided what to do yet. I would like to start focusing on putting on mass now that my lifts are somewhat respectable.

Just curious what kind of form do you use for your squat???Theres a video on my page of some olympic athletes from china doing some squats check it out…Theirs many ways theories on how to get stronger they all pretty much work…your goal should be learn wht the most efficient way to get stronger or bigger is…how do you know whats the most efficient way learn how your muscle cells create force and how they grow…then find your weaknesses and train those along with your strengths…just keep in mind there’s a trade off for everything…meaning if you want to focus on one thing you cant focus on another…any comments or questions i think i could give you much more advice…peace
