[Squat Rack]

I decided to move on to a new program that doesn't require me to squat as much. So I'm going to do Wendler's 5/3/1. Right now I'm still recovering from my knee, but I still hit up the gym and did upper body stuff.

Before you start the program, you're supposed to test your strength. To see at what weight you're supposed to start. You don't actually test directly your 1RM. Just use Wendler's formula, once you have a weight and the number of reps.

So here's my current upper body stats (based on today's workout and Wendler's formula):

Bench Press 158
Press 105
Chins 3 sets of 4

For the chinups I'm going to use Cosgrove's program. When my knee is all set, I'll test the deadlift and squat. Then I'll start Wendler's program.


As an aside, this guy started chatting me up while I was working out. He was so damn annoying that he even kept talking to me when I started the set. And didn't stop till I completed my set. It was so damn annoying. He then proceeded to point out to me girls he thought were hot. I just wanted to tell him to shut the f*** up. If I see him again, I think I'll have to tell him that I don't like talking to people in the gym (especially not during my set)!
