Hi, i'm currently doing madcow 5x5.
I failed to bench 60kg for 5RMs on week 7.
I'm really bummed out because of that.
But what's important is how i pick myself up and hit it
harder the next time around.

So, here's my second attempt... Thank You for dropping by.
Will be even sweeter if you drop a message, your support
means everything to me.

Here are my statistics...

Age: 24
Height: 180cm
Weight: 97kg



My Goals for 2007
- Squat my BW (current PR: 90kg/97kg)
- Deadlift my BW (current PR: 110kg/97kg)
- Do BW dips 5RMs (current: i'm doing halfass BW dips for 6 reps)
- Do BW pull ups 5Rms (current: no progress)
- 16 inches arms (current: 15 inches)

Here's my schedule up to week 7, i'll make a new one depending if i wanna reset
my bench for next week. I'll know when i bench 61kg (134lbs) this friday.




Here are the volumes for my accessories.

Monday
Bodyweight dips - 3x6 (i'm heavy incase u haven't noticed)
Weighted HyperExtensions - 2 x 15kg weighted plates x 10 reps
Weighted Situps - 3 x 15kg weighted plates x 30 reps

Wednesday
Bodyweight dips - 3x6 (i'm heavy incase u haven't noticed)
Situps - 3 x 100 reps

thanks bro

waaa what? i fat?

i like your thinking carl.... always about the core eh?
hypers hard lah but i am improving.

All my situps are on the decline bench, but of cos i don't go all the way down.

something like this.


Sorry for the bad drawing.

you can't open ur mouth wide enough to bite my 15" arms

hypers without weight, how many reps are we talking about here?
and situps all the way down, ok, i guess no use doing 30 reps if it's halfass...

ok, will make ammedments.
Thanks bro.

Hehehe...
i always welcome more resistance.
I'm a lazy guy... i rather do low rep high intensity than anything else.
Which is why wednesday's 300 situps without weights is a killer.

Uncle google ain't being very helpful pizza.
But i really wanna know what you're talking about.
Can i get a link please?

OIC... but it says to do situps without weights on wednesday.
Should i tweak this and do weights instead?

hahaha...
at least it came out of my own mouth

whatever, i'll rephrase it later when i feel emo.

My lack of eating is really apparent.
I'm down to 95.7kg this morning.
I weigh on the same scale, same time, same floor, same day as last week.

I had better start eating if i wanna break some PRs today.

yeah but that's for wednesday, it says 3 sets of situps.

but take a look at monday, it says 3 sets weighted situps.
whatever, i'm doing weights regardless. Thx kirk.

iz gud, xcept tat i'll only be going tonite 730pm.

are u telling me to go easy on no weighted situps?
if so, how low? I'm lazy to do 3x100 anyway LOL

Bro, i get "super intense" on mondays part...
but you lost me on wednesday. What should i do on wednesday again?

I already did weighted on monday, tho i won't call it super intense.
today i'm doing 5x8-10 no weights?

Kirk, your take on this?
how many should i do on wed?

I dowan do 300 lah.... feels like a cardio workout.
Thanks for clearing that up carl, i look forward to a stronger core to a bigger lift

sigh... another shitty day today.
My hamstring gave up on me after my first set of DL @67.5kg.

I don't know what the term is for it... but i felt some sharp pain at the joints
to the bones... and my whole knee felt disconnected. I couldn't take the pain
everytime i bent my knees. After resting for awhile, i continued DL but i did
stiffed leg DL instead of Trad DL. And i even went on to deadlifting my personal best
of 110kg.

After that, i did MP and i was ready to do sitting MP if my hammy couldn't take it, but thank God MP doesn't require the knees to be bent. That's how determined i am to finish up my workout.... so i hope you guys won't skip gym for things as silly as hurting ur pinky toe. There are lots of exercises you can do sitting down.

Let's run a check using dark's post from iron addict here as a template.



So i failed to bench on monday, my hamstring gave up on me on wednesday,
and i didn't pass all of the above criterias. I don't wanna stop training but maybe my body
is telling me something. Time for me to take a break?

You're a lucky man LOL...
