Hi Vic,

From http://stronglifts.com/how-to-do-pull-ups-and-chin-ups-with-proper-technique

" Once you can do 10-15 Pull-ups or Chin-ups in a row, add weight to keep the exercise challenging."

Still going to progress only using 5lbs each time.

Form went to heck on the last 2 sets.

3/18/09

Squats
5x5 165lbs
After failing on 185 the past 3 workouts I deloaded and it still feels heavy...

Bench press
5x5 120lbs
Barely got it today. Only 10lbs away from my bodyweight too.

Power Clean
3x5 90lbs
I absolutely love power cleans and the last time I maxed on a rest day I was able to do 135lbs!

Weighted Pushups
2x5 25lbs and 1x5 45lbs
Felt a little risky today and after the first two sets I felt like doing more and got it. One of my goals already gone

[IDEK]

3/23/09
Weighed myself today at 132

Squats
5x5 175lbs

Sigh, third and fourth sets I took 6 minutes rest between and still couldn't even get it then I take a 5 minute rest before the last and got it all.

Power Clean
3x5 95lbs
I absolutely love these, can't wait until I get to body weight for 3x5!

Weighted Pushups
3x5 27.5lbs
Easy still but a little harder than expected because of failing on bench.

4/10/09

Squats
5x5 175lbs
really easy today

Overhead Press
5x5 85lbs
Pretty good, trying to get up to 95lbs this time. Got to 90 last time deloaded and now almost back.

Deadlift
1x5 175lbs
Finally started deadlifting at school where I have more weights. Only 135lbs today.

Pullups
3,3,9
Today I really sucked the first two sets, I struggled through 3 and then struggled again through 3 but somehow on the last set I was determined and no matter how tired I felt I kept going back above that bar.

Next time I am going to do pullups then chinups then pullups and do that from now on.

Today is the second day I am trying the Super Squats routine. 1x20 is extremely hard even with the low weights I have available at home.

Squat
1x20 100lbs
At one point I just wanted to throw the weight off of my back because I don't like holding it for that long. I just kept thinking this weight is crushing me I should throw it off right now right onto this dang floor. Good thing the competitive side of me wouldn't let that happen.

Overhead Press
5x5 90lbs
Pretty easy. Only struggled on the last rep. Finally next time I will get to 25s on each side.

Deadlift
1x31 135lbs
All my weights and that is my bodyweight today so I am very happy with the 31 reps I got but I think I could have done much more if my grip didn't start failing because of the sweat.

No assistance excersizes today and time for food then an hour of tv then sleep.
