3 x 5 x 120

Lat Pulldown (Reverse Grip):

1 x 5 x 165

Barbell Bicep Curl:
2 x 6 x 45
Killing Time because the squat racks were all being used

Dips:

Still killing time and I also started getting that pain I used to gain from dips so I'm going to drop them so as not to risk injury

Squat:
3 x 5 x 210

Deadlift:
1 x 5 x 265

Deadlifts felt really tough today, probably not in the right state of mind. . .

So far, so good

Deadlifts and squats are coming along. You gotta post your diet so we can give you shiit about how crappy it is !

What kind of grip are you using for your deads? Are you using chalk?

[Roumie]

@Fuglydude
I'm (roughly) following a diet that EFFORT gave me. Concerning my grip, I use a mixed grip with the palm of my right hand facing away from me. No chalk, only straps.

Bench Press:
3 x 5 x 125
Failed last rep, last set

Lat Pulldown (Reverse Grip):
3 x 5 x 165
Failed last rep, last set

Squat:
3 x 5 x 215
Last set was brutal

Deadlift:
1 x 5 x 270
Felt awesome.

As of today (December 5th) I:
weigh 171lbs

Gona try and focus more on my upper body. Maybe take 1 day a week solely for that and keeping the other 2 days for squats & deadlifts, not sure yet.

[Roumie]

Interesting workout

5 x 130 (Thought I had put 125 on, but i wasn't paying attention)
5 x 125
4 x 125

Squat:
3 x 5 x 225
Was tough and I think my form was a little off

Deadlift:
1 x 5 x 280
Lost my grip when putting the bar on the rack after my 5th rep (was day-dreaming or something) and proceded to drop the bar. Needless to say I was embarassed by the scene

Lat Pulldown:
3 x 5 x 165
Failed last rep, last set

Made some good progress today

[Roumie]

Yet another workout

Trial upper body workout today

Lat Pulldown (Reverse Grip):
3 x 5 x 170
Felt pretty easy. I'd like to move to chinups but i don't have the confidence to give them a try just yet

Seated Military Press:
2 x 5 x 65
Felt ok

Barbell Bicep Curl:
5 x 55
5 x 60
4 x 55

Bench Press:
5 x 130
4 x 130

Incline Bench Press:
2 x 5 x 100
The incline on this bench (fixed incline) was at roughly 35-45 degrees. I felt this exercise more in my shoulders than in my chest

Dips:
2 x 5 x BW
4 x BW

Deadlift:
20 x 135

I felt odd today, just moving around the gym, getting a feel for different exercises. My upper body isn't as strong compared to my lower body so I wana adjust that by doing 2 lower body days (basically the same routine that I have been doing so far) and 1 upper body day a week.
Recommendations for my upper body day would be appreciated

[Roumie]

Lack of sleep (roughly 4 hours) and not eating enough today led me to simply not making any realy progress today
