Whitesox3223’s Improvement Log

after a few weeks of no squatting my hip flexor healed. last 3 weeks ive been squatting and hit a PR of 285 last week. i had been lunging, leg pressing and deadlifting for my legs during the time i couldnt squat. i thought it was odd i could leg press but no squat since its pretty much the same movement as far as my legs are concerned.

starting 5×5, yet again. after 6 weeks of that 4 day split (mostly in 8-13 reps range) im ready and am confident i will have much to gain from 5×5.

here is where im at now:

squat: 250×5

deadlift: 295×5

bench: 175×5 (was at 170×5 before the split. must have needed some work on my stabilizers since all i used was dumbells for my chest)

BB row: 170×5

Seated Military Press: 100×5

my goals are on my bodyspace already. ill be posting the workouts as they come
