Gym Time :eek:

[MoNkeE]

He's not really doing stronglifts, he's doing some random 5 sets of exercises at 5 different random weights.

Utterly confusing but he's not listened to anyone trying to steer him in the right direction. /shrugs

ah yes good spot! seems very much like 3x5 with a drop set and no progressive loading

I'll find out what routine it is, think he said it lasts 9 weeks.
Altho if you guys think it's that bad might have to change back to the SL one.
There was another int he middle we did but cant remember it's name tbh.

We started on the stronglifts 5x5 iirc, this one is just boring me, weights going up in tiny amounts, but apparantly thats how "this one works" *shrug*

I increased the amount of reps on the higher weights as pointed out earlier.
I also used your explanation for the BOR's.

That seems far more stable than the way my mate does his, pulls up fast and then pretty much drops it.

Sorry if you thought I was just ignoring the help/pointers given

Find the name of this routine from your mate.

Also, don't do back extensions. Seriously.

Right apparantly its Madcows 5x5

Main bits being:
Squat
Bench
BOR
DL
SP

 

[Syla5]

Madcow 3x5

You should only really cross over to mad cow once stalling a couple of times on all lifts!
Also you need to be strict with your progression. +2.5-5lg per lift per session otherwise your missing the main point of the program.

 

[icecold]

Yeah I thought so.

Too advanced for you I'm afraid mate.

 

[Zefan]

Go to Stronglifts website. Read website. Do what it says and eat stuff. Ignore your mate.

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

Fair does then I'll look at going back to SL 5x5 then

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

Right, had a bit of a rubbish time recently so just been doin what I can when I can.
Diet has been absolutely atrocious tbh, been drinking again and some days gone without anythign to eat just couldn't be bothered and wasnt hungry :/

SL 5x5 DL'd, when I put my info into the spreadsheet it seems to give me really low weights for weeks, is this right or am I reading wrong?

Ah also changed Gym as the missus wanted to join too so I'm possibly looking at weights session (5x5) in the morning then some cardio and stuff with the missus when she finished work (4-6ish) this ok or bad idea?

Weight has fluctuated a bit, back upto 15st 10
DL upto 140
Bench upto 67.5
BOR 75
SP 45
