I finished my first full week of the starting strength program with no interruptions. I have been trying to get in on it, but I had honestly been half-assing it the last few weeks of lifting: that is no way to see results.
Squat: 145
Bench: 150
Deadlift: 175
DB Military Press: 35
DB Bent Over Rows: 55
Dips: 2x8
Chin Ups: 2x5 with 80lbs assistance
My numbers are okay, but really could stand to improve. The squats are rough on me and I feel like they will be the most slow going. The bench and deadlift are going fine and even today after I finished my set I felt like I could have thrown up more weight; that was probably me being cocky though.
I pleased with my DB rows. The military press could stand some improvement, but my left shoulder is off and on with the soreness in its range of motion.
Dips come easy, and I want to transition up to 2x12 soon. With the chin ups, I'm unimpressed with myself. I can hammer out 2 or 3 full chins before I'm spent, so I need the assistance to do complete sets.
On off days, I'm swimming or doing intervals on the stationary bike. My stamina needs to increase; I can only make about 15-20 solid minutes in the pool before I'm spent. I'd like to be able to do a full 30 minutes of laps.
One step at a time.
