Starr’s 5×5!
First day on this biatch. I found an altered version that subs bent over rows for high pulls, which I like because I love rows. Anyway, I’m super-stoked about the program. The reading was awesome and very informative. I accidently ****ed up todays workout and loaded too much weight on the three lifts; bench press, bent over row, and squats. I worked up to my 5 rep max on the fifth set. Afterwards I went over the reading again and even found a template to guide my progress, I was supposed to go quite a bit lighter today than I did. Oh well, no biggie (I hope). I’ll just continue on as if I followed the guide, which means I’ll actually be lifting a lot less on next Monday’s workout, but after a few weeks I’ll work up to and even pass all the 5 rep PRs that I essentially hit today.
I think I got the nutrition aspect down… I eat, and then I eat more, and then I eat again, and again, and again… I eat a lot, every day. I’m not cycling, I just eat until I feel like my body is satisfied (plus a little extra to be safe). I don’t care about gaining a bit of fat right now, because even without a focused program I’ve put on some solid mass in the last month or so. Now with a great, focused, and professionaly made program I am sure I will see results for a while and the scale will move up consistently. I’ve never been over 200 (as far as I can remember, even when I was fat it was more of a skinny fat), so I’m excited to see what it feels like to get up there.
