Ok here we go. This is my 7th month of Stronglifts 5x5 Program (Slow, I know. T_T). Tackled my first PR attempt for Squats yesterday and got to 242 lbs / 110 kg for my 1 rep max.

27/5/13

Squats:

195 lbs 5x5

Don't think it was a very good session. Wasn't feeling it. Last set's form was kind of iffy, so I'd rather be sure and count that out. Will use same weights again for next workout.

Press:

80 lbs 5x5

Damn these are getting heavy. Just tweaked my form and my elbow joints are all out of whack. Made it through anyway, but just barely. Add 5 lbs next time and see how it goes.

Deadlifts:

95 kg 1x5

Kept my head straight to my neck, tweaked posture. Felt really heavy, but managed to do all 5 reps consecutively without stopping much. Will keep going.

heheh, late report:

29/5/13

Squats:

195 lbs 5x5

Bench Press:

115 lbs 5x5

Barbell Row:

110 5x5

So I fell sick, had food poisoning, was throwing up all day, etc etc. Anyways it hit me that I wanted to build muscle more than strength anyway, and so I looked around for a different / more intune to my goals routine.

Started today on

3/6/13

5x5 for all:

Squats
60 kg

Inclined Bench Press
40 kg

Bent Over Rows
45 kg

Standing Shoulder Press
27.5 kg

Dumbbell Snatch

Romanian Deadlift
60 kg

Need thoughts from you guys if this routine looks effective.
