Brief history before I really get into it:
was a track/xc runner and soccer player in high school, I lifted, but not many gains with all the cardio and lack of knowledge about proper lifting/diet. Freshman year of college came and went, I'd joined the ultimate frisbee team at my school (I run in this as much if not more than I did as a soccer player), and again not much gains. Read starting strength the following summer and felt like an idiot. Gave a 3 day full body a go first semester this past year, starting at 5'11 and 140 lbs put on 10 pounds easily, and all my lifts went up a ton. Second semester, I got a high ankle sprain while cutting during a tournament-I wanted to keep competing, so I hobbled around most of the time and lifting wasnt too much of an option. Lost some weight, but decided to let the ankle heal and ease myself back into lifting this summer.
Summer started and I found a full body routine that I liked the looks of so I have been going from there. Its design is this:
A:
Squat
Bench
Pullups
Abs
B:
Squat
OH Press
Deadlift
chinups
dips
At the start of the summer (5/21 was my first workout) with a re-learning of form my numbers were:
Squat:135
bench:115
press:75
dl:135
pullups:9 over 2 sets <--- really bad
chinups:15 over 2 sets
dips:20 over 2 sets
bodyweight of 145
Currently:
squat:185
bench:145
press:95
dl:145 (going very slowly with this one as I have hurt my lower back before)
pullups:16 over 2 sets
chinups:13wtd with 15 pounds over 2 sets
dips:20 wtd with 15 pounds over 2 sets.
bodyweight of 151
I am starting this because I have not been making it to the gym consistently(missed 1.5 weeks for a variety of reasons, none of them good) enough and need something to help hold myself accountable. However, I have been destroying weight I couldnt move in the first semester (namely in squats and OH press)
With that said:
7/1
took it light today as I have missed some time, hope to be back in the swing of it on friday
squat 3x5:175
oh press 3x5:85
dl:135x5
weighted chins:1x6
weighted dips:1x12
abs:2 sets of dragon flags AMAP:got a set of 6 and then of 5. These things are killer, this was my second workout doing them and I am pretty sure my abs are going to hurt tomorrow.
ate a decent amount today-need to get to the grocery store but living on campus without a car makes that kind of difficult. Hopefully I can soon though as I am out of milk and nearly out of chicken.
