    Blahnik's [STARTING STRENGTH]

    My first journal and my time using a solid routine
    i bought the book of starting strength and got it yesterday
    and have been readying it ever since learning alot.
    HEIGHT 6'3 to tall!!!
    WEIGHT 184 I need to gain weight!

    SQUAT
    BARX10
    95X10
    135x2x6
    155x5

    New to squats changing form different sets
    i was doing parallel squats it seemed like when i stuck my ass out way more
    and had good hip drive it was alot easier.
    155 is actually a bit heavy its kind of sad but you gotta start somewhere.
    i will bring a camera and post a video of these three lifts for some criq.


    DEADLIFT
    245x1x6

    I feel much more comfortable with this lift i could of done more weight'
    this is currently my favorite lift and i can do the most weight with it

    BENCHPRESS

    135x9
    135x7
    135x5

    I have a pretty weak chest i am hopping i can change that !
    I didn't do the right weight on all of the lifts and i understand that
    I just didn't know what i could do so i just did lighter then i thought
    as for the bench i didn't have a spotter ( my gym was empty )
    and i didn't pull a bench into the squat rack.


    Here are some pictures-

    Just a little advice

    With this program you should start with a relatively light weight and add 5 pounds each workout, or else you will quickly stall out, like I did

    Good luck with the lifting and adding muscle to your frame, there's more to fill in at your height.

    95X10
    135x1x6
    140x2x6

    added 5 pounds i could feel the difference
    at the end the workout and even know
    from when i first starting lifting with my legs
    they can't be as sore as they should be but
    what i lifted today seems like i couldn't go any heavier .

    DEADLIFT

    280 x 6
    i didn't realize how much more weight i put on then last time i did deads
    i was wondering why it was so much harder
    i should lower it some so i don't mess up my form

    fav lift

    BENCHPRESS

    135x7
    140x3x6

    dips 7
    dips 5
