Default Lifting Heavy Stuff

Thats the plan,
First goal is to get my squat up from really embarrassing to not quite as embarrassing, I will be using a starting strength inspired template and see how long that works before I switch back to a WS4SBish thing

Heres the plan
Sunday
Squat 3 x 5
Dead 1 x 5
Walking Lunge
Abs

Monday
Bench 3 x 5
Row - Pendlay
Triceps
S/Bag Clean & Press

Wednesday
Squat 3 x 5
Dead 1 x 5
Backward Sled drag
Abs

Thursday
O/H Press 3 x 5
Chins
Sled overhand Row
CG Bench/Pushups

Nice and simple I think, I'll start on sunday,
Short term goals
Squat 100kg x 5
Deadlift 160kg x 5 - current 1rm
Bench 100kg x 5

Woohoo, he's back!

All rested up? sweet, that was fast

The plan looks really good too, the only thing that bugs me about these plans is the deadlifts after squats(squats aren't more important that dead!!!) - but its a sweet plan that should work well.

Good luck.

Squat = a long way, I think I did 65kg x 5 a few weeks ago. Embarrassing I know
Bench should be pretty easy to get back to I think.

Thanks man, I agree about the deads/squats, but squat is far more important at the moment cause its soooooooo far behind.

Hows the back (and the rest of the body while were here)? First goal should be full rehab before strength training.

Back is all good, as is the rest of me. I spent the last week doing a heap of mobility and stretching and everything feels 100%.
I will be more diligent and consistent with my mobility stuff so theres no repeat of the last few weeks.

Looks like a solid plan to me.

Stick with the mobility work and keep your back healthy and those numbers should start to increase quickly.

Week 1 - Sunday 6th April

Squat
b x 5
40kg x 5
50kg x 5
60 x 5

70 x 5 x 3 (5kg PR)

Deadlift
b x 5
60kg x 5
80 x 5

90 x 5

Walking Lunge
dns

Side Bend
dns- PR on the squats was a good start, probably had a little bit more in me too which is good.

- Took the deads really easy just to be cautious with my back, all was good.

- Had a headache going into it and it only got worse and was killing me by the time I had finished the deads, so I skipped the last part, the important stuff had been done anyway.

- weight this morning was 83.6kg

PR in deads and squats in the one day. This strong forum must really be helping.

Whats dns- did not start?

Good to hear your back held up to the abuse.

Week 1 - Monday 7th April

Bench
b x 20
50kg x 5
60kg x 5
70 x 5

80 x 5 x 3 (176lbs)

Row - Pendlay
40kg x 5
60 x 8 x 4 (132lbs)

Tricep Extension
25kg x 10 x 3 (55lbs)

Sandbag Clean & Press
1 clean/5 presses
3 x 60secs
30kg (67lbs) x 5,5,3
x 5,5,3,1
x 5,5,5

- This was some good shit, bench went pretty well, rows felt good also.
- Triceps are really sore today, they haven't been sore in ages
- Sandbag presses were tough, the last few reps were more push presses but they still went up. Had a shitty setup for the first set, then got the bag in a better position for the other sets.
- Really enjoyed it, rest tonight, will foam roll my legs, cause there still a bit sore.

Did some foam rolling without the foam last night, legs feel good ready for some more squatting tonight.
Will shoot for 80kg me thinks.
Triceps are still really sore,

Aren't you glad you just read all that
