So I’ll forego the laundry list of excuses, but I haven’t been keeping up with the Stronglifts routine like I should have. In 3 weeks, I should have performed 9 workouts, but in actuality I’ve performed 4. I still love this routine though, and I’m going to set my daily life routine to accommodate the simple 3x/week program.
Even though I’m capable of lifting more, I still stuck with a very LOW weight to stay on track with the 5lb increase per workout. For my squats this equates to the following schedule:
Week 1: 95, 100, 105
Week 2: 110, 115, 120
Week 3: 125, 130, 135
Week 4: 140, 145, 150
Week 5: 155, 160, 165
Week 6: 170, 175, 180
Week 7: 185, 190, 195
Week 8: 200, 205, 210
Week 9: 215, 220, 225
Week 10: 230, 235, 240
Week 11: 245, 250, 255
Week 12: 260, 265, 270
Right now all lifts are easy, but I’m sticking with the program, weight wise, as best as I can. I do feel like a noob benching 100lbs for 5 sets of 5. Stay focused! is what I tell myself.
Updates to come!
