Mine was tough today, the squats were hard at just just over 70kg, my left thigh felt like it was going to explode!!
Overhead press was also tricky. I didn't think I was going to make the dead lift, but I did.
Going to have a couple of days rest I think
For me the OHP and bench press are my weakest, at least mentally and because until I started this program, I'd never done them before so they are a bit intimidating.
Up for it tomorrow (although I've been exercising today but not weights, CV and HIIT style stuff), and tomorrow is:
Squat - 62.5Kg
BP - 55Kg
Rows - 55KG
Hopefully!!!
Have you been following the app and building up slowly? I've never felt sore unless I've left it a week or more and ignored the de-load. It's one of the things I love about this plan.
my thighs are always sore data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
It's the friction.... Too much rubbing...
Straight to the gym after work today.
This programme is opposite to my way of thinking.. when I struggled and couldn't finish the last set of OHP, I was pleased. It meant I'd found a limit and I had to improve and get bigger and stronger.
Then on the next session on OHP, with improved form I finished the set. I was happy because it meant better form and maybe increased strength.
And today after a day at work, I whizzed through it and although it was tough and I was sweating, it wasn't too hard.
Yet I don't feel fulfilled...
Been doing 5x5's for a while now, these are my latest results:
Squat - 5x5 @ 105KG
Bench - 5x5 @ 85KG
Deadlift (Trap Bar) - 5x5 @ 120KG
OH Press - 5x5 @ 50KG
There is some nice figures there! How long you been in the programme? Were you already experienced or food your start from scratch?
nice one - but how do you mean when you say you don't feel fulfulled..?
I've been at my current gym for 3 1/2 years but only focussed on a programme since last October. I've been mixing up 5x5's with a varied assortment of lifts focussing on powerlifting.
