Hi there, started rippetoe's workout 2 months back...been logging on my log book...decided to post it online, hoping someone could advice me how to get on...at the same time as a reference for people who encounter similar problems as mine. Work sets are in bold.

Ok, all logs posted up to date~

I used to be very heavy, 2 years back..I'm as heavy as 122kg back then..now I've flushed out most of my fats down to 79kg with gym. Then, started to do some machine exercise in gym for a while... soon later I found about this workout routine, I took 1 week off and started with it.

Currently changed from rippetoe to hvt thanks to darklight79's recommendation

And then from HVT to MADCOW, and now testing out 5/3/1.

Height: 174cm

Weight: 79kg | 82kg (21-03-2008)


Current body fat: 14%

Target(s):
Eliminate my man boobs!
Gain more muscle
Flush that flabby tummy!
Able to lift heavier
Reduce more body fat

may i know why is your squat is lighter than your DL?

Your weights are in kgs or lbs?

erm...are you referring to why is my squat heavier than my DL's? ...



they are all in lbs... ( sigh, if only they were in kgs~)

This post has been edited by kaspersky-fan: Oct 1 2008, 04:27 PM

where do you workout by the way?
14% bodyfat at 79kg is pretty awesome by the way...

This post has been edited by Disciple: Oct 1 2008, 06:19 PM

yeah. DL should be heavier than squat. rippetoe should be in this particular order:
DL>squat>row>chest press>military press (i cant remember row or chest press comes 1st, but i'm sure DL is 1st, military is last)

according to rippetoe, if you're squatting more than DL, there must be something wrong like not squating deep enough, or wrong form

well i had an injury while trying to DL back a while...so i'm kinda scared to increase DL weights that easily until i'm really certan that i can handle it...but since my DL form has improved compared to last time, i'm trying to increase it gradually.

for squatting...not sure if its wrong form...but i'm always able to squat below parallel for warmups lol....but for workset...just parallel... really not sure if i have wrong form...mind telling me any symptoms if i did wrong techniques?

Added on October 1, 2008, 7:18 pmI workout at jaya33.

squat all the way down, for warms up and workset. squat deep.

anyway, i think jamis is working out in jaya33(or other member?), maybe he can watch your form
