the.gladiator1987's 12 week 5x5 log

[the.gladiator1987]

Alright, starting my second run of the 5x5. I made some changes from this one to the first

-subbed in hang cleans for bb rows
-added calves on Monday
-changed hang clean reps from 5x5 to 5x3
-Adding some plyo/sprint on Tuesday
-Taking bench lightly (95lbs >) because of shoulder

Week 1 Day 1:

Squat:
145x5
185x5
215x5
255x5
295x5

Bench:
45x25
55x25
65x25

Cleans:
95x3
115x3
135x3
165x3
185x3

Hanging leg raises:
0lb x 30
0lb x 15

Sitting calf raise:
60x50

Standing calf raise:
60x30/5/5/5/5

***Good workout. Love the 5x5, hate that I cant bench.

1) When I was doing hang cleans, my shoulder wouldnt necessarily hurt, but I had to make sure my form was perfect so it didnt start bothering me. Im wondering if I should just do bb rows for now so I can let my shoulder COMPLETELY heal. Any advice on this? On a scale of it hurting with 0 being not at all, its probably a 1 when I do hang cleans, 0 when I do bb rows.

Good luck man! you have any goal weights you wanna hit by the end of the routine?

hmm yea i guess i should make some goals. I dont know about bench because it still hurts too bench. And I think im gonna replace hang cleans with rows since hang cleans bother the shoulder a little bit.

squat - 355x5
deadlift - 455x5
pendlay row - 225x5
standing bb military behind neck - 205x6
bench - Only goal I have for bench (after my shoulder helas) is to be able to bench 225x20 for summer next year for football as a Defensive Back!

 

[the.gladiator1987]

Heres the routine Im gonna do

Monday: Jumps + Balance //// 5x5
Tuesday: OFF
Wednesday: 5x5
Thursday: OFF
Friday: 5x5
Saturday: Drills/sprints
Sunday: OFF

Adding jumps + balance on Monday
-squat jumps
-box jumps
-calf jumps
-lateral jumps
-balance stuff on half balls, planks, etc.

[SaiBoT]

I think you can get to be faster, stronger, etc go for it! I would do jump squats on wednesdays with 60-65% of RM.

Thx for those articles btw! When you do jump squats(60% of my 1rm would be 225lbs) how high do you have to get off the ground? Is it pointless to do it if you only get an inch or 2 off the ground?

Thx for the comment brotha always motivating to hear that

 

[Fatboy1984]

G's man, your training is always on point. Smart move takin easy on the shoulder. I know its like the hardest thing in the world to take it easy on somthing and worry about loosing strength and size and crap, But once your all healed up youll be a monster. and ready for your next cycle. Youll be benchin 405 before you know it

Since you have never done them before start with something light, build your technique, endurance and stamina. Here's a good piece from the father of complexes Hall of Fame Istvan Javorek:

Cool I will def do some light stuff first! I dont think id do all of that before my deadlifts though LOL. Thx for the link, showed me jump squats, full squats to toe raise, toe raises, and 2 quarter squats with a jump

 

[EXTREMEBOWHNTR]

Jump squats: let us know how those go with your injury. Shock loading your body and an injury with the jump squats???? I dont know much though

OK workout. I can bench alittle more weight without it hurting so thats good. Its starting to finally heal up since Im laying off it.

- BB rows cause it to kind of hurt, so im taking them out. Hang cleans make it hurt as well. What is a good substitute for these? Im thinking seated db rows, and going with super strict form for a couple weeks.

- Squats felt heavy so I might drop them lower because they shouldnt be this heavy. Well see tmr

---Good workout. My shoulder is healing because I was able to put up 225x14 with barely any pain. Im still gonna let it heal for another week. I skipped bb rows/hang cleans because it tweaks the shoulder a little bit. Also squats are kinda heavy but i was able to get2 more if i wanted to so ill leave them where they're at.

 

[oso0960]

hah nice man, I like how it's the first day of heavy weights for your bench and you're already making a PR!

 

[the.gladiator1987]

haha yea well i let my ego get the best of me so i had to bust them out. I was doing 16 before my shoulder got hurt ( weeks ago) so idk if its really a PR but for this 2nd run of the 5x5 it is!

Im about to get so big and strong its a joke

 

[artificialaspirations]

when do u start?

 

[the.gladiator1987]

when do u start?

Well I was thinking of starting beastdrol by next week then running my test/mast/anadrol in 4 weeks

 

[artificialaspirations]

word

 

[the.gladiator1987]

word

WORD up brotha, I feel your pain on rehabbing it. Youre doin good though, low weights, just gettin back in it. Im doin the same thing with my shoulder, I even wake up with it hurting if I sleep on it wrong, sucks

As of next week im gonna run

Beastdrol week 1-4
Clomid/Aromasin/.5 bottle sustain alpha week 5-6

Take 2 weeks off, then start my test/drol/mast cycle

 

[ExtraMile]

squats lookin strong bro, nearly at 315!

 

[the.gladiator1987]

huh? Well its at 315x5 but i was doing the 5x5 so i started at 295x5.... but yea thx brotha!

I need to start using a LITTLE better form, i sometimes shoot up with my hips instead of driving straight up. I still go below parallel tho

that happened to me for a while, i dunno how i cured it, it just sorted itself out. try to use your glutes more in deep squats and keep your chest up high

oh yah and stop curlin in the squat rack lolol

 

[artificialaspirations]

The two weeks off seems kind of pointless. Why not use the beast as your finisher 9-12? You'll get crazy strong and lean at the end. Then use up all your pct stuff. Just an idea, I'm no expert.

The beast will be good by itself if you just want to do a four weeker...

 

[artificialaspirations]

good goals btw. You should enter a competition if there are any close by...you might like it.

 

[artificialaspirations]

Think about driving your head back into the bar. This doesn't mean look up. try some good mornings to correct this. It will help you recover the groove and stay tight if you're losing it when things get heavy.

Yea I know what the problem is its just easier for me to use my hips lol. But I will start going lighter and making sure each rep is 100% perfect

I have 2 bottles so i was gonna do beast at the end anyway PLUS beast right now before. I was gonna take a 2 week break because of my liver...

Good workout. Happy about DL's and this routine is one of my favorites. Cant wait for my beastdrol to get here that I start on Monday. Also gonna start taking my BW @ night with just boxers. I know I have dropped a little weight from not eating the past couple days, amazing how I am not hungry anymore after not eating for just a couple days, Im about to go slam a protein shake and get in 2000 cals before bed. I also have been off creatine for about 4 weeks so that may contribute to the weight loss. Still ripped as fuck though

---Didnt do shrugs because my traps are sore from deadlifts. Not sure when I will be able to do shrugs, I might add in some farmer walk on these days instead of shrugs since I need forearm strength anyway.

Chest was so fuckin pumped! It was ridiculous, this anadrol is giving me the biggest pumps of my life. I am kinda sick tho, just stomach aches and lethargy. But im drinking hella water, eating hella food and taking all my supps. Multi, fish oil, garlic, ALA, and digestive enzymes.

 

[ExtraMile]

why u take garlic? and for whatever reason do you find it effective?

 

[oso0960]

Good shit bro! You gotta post before/after progress pics once you're done with the cycle. You should get some sick gains.

 

[the.gladiator1987]

why u take garlic? and for whatever reason do you find it effective?

I take it for cholesterol help, and something else I forget. I dont take anything for lipids, which I should with the orals Im doing. I just take it as a safety measure

Thx homie, I took some pre pics its in the pics of member sub forum. But is says pre-beastdrol, not pre-test/anadrol/masteron/tren-tfo. LOL

Im hoping to get to 215 and be strong as fuck, mainly tryin to be beast for football next year. I still need to be fast though and smart about the game.

Also saw ur thread and good job with the workouts, when they feel like 70% u know thats a good thing!

Maybe just a 24hr flu or something. Def not swine! haha

 

[slimjim1985]

nicely done bro. So you already started your cycle, how long ago? I could of sworn you were gonna wait to start ur cycle....I knew you couldn't wait. haha I got the itch too. Next time I see a jacked fool in the gym reppin out 415 on deads, i'm gonna yell out, "Glad and then Hella in the same sentence", and see ya turn your head acting like a typical norcal tough guy. lol

Good pump in my shoulders today, I skipped shrugs and farmer walks but Ill add them in next week. I like my shoulder size already, jus mainly want my bb military press to go up to 225.

 

[ExtraMile]

another thing u can do for your grip is on your last rep on the heaviest set of deadlifts do a grip hold with the bar before you put it down again. I do that when I remember to and Iv got to the point I can hold my 1RM for 10 secs or more. Just remembered u needing grip when u mensioned farmers walk. It also means it gives u nice progression as each week your deadlift goes up and so your grip has to go up each week.

I decided to tweak my routine as all my workouts were taking 2+ hours. So i dropped the volume from 30 to around 20 sets, and going to failure on every last set. I really hope my squats go up on this cycle.

yeah bro i admit if there was a reverse flye machine at my gym i would hit the rear delts hard, i just dont feel bent over laterals in my delts much. Maybe I should do the cable version on an incline bench...

whats the point doing both dumbell shoulders press and behind neck bb press? its pretty much the same motion...

ones bb, ones db. lol

standing bb activates my core more, allows for more weight. I think its good to include the standing bb in my routine because i want to be able to press something wihle standing.

I do db's because i have always gotten the most size from them

 

[the.gladiator1987]

never seen a pct like that either might have to look into it

Its just a mix between pharmaceutical PCT products (clomid/aromasin) and OTC PCT products. Just want my recovery to be smooth.

Also the only thin im on so far is anadrol/test/masteron. The tren/beastdrol/dermatherm target are all OTC products. The tren and beast are actually prohormones which are basically steroids. The dermatherm target helps burn fat. I wont be on those for another 6 weeks

Chest

Short workout, i injected 500mg of test 400 and my shoulder hurts like a bitch for the last 3 days. Even turned a little red around the injection site, i know its not an infection i think its just T400 hurts like a bitch lol. Anyway all i did was bench

thx bro! I cant even think about lifting shoulders today lol dont ever get test 400, what a waste. Every injection im gonna have to think "ok where do i want to feel like ive been hit by a sledgehammer for a week" haha

I might do back or something today, i kinda got out of a routine since i left town for a couple days but ill probably do some back. And good shit on 225 u can easily do 3

At what weight were you when you started the cycle and what are you now?

 

[the.gladiator1987]

I was 191 when I started, right now I am around 201-204. So Im up 10-13lbs. however I thought I could get to 220 but holy shit im gonna have to eat a lot more for that to happen. In fact I dont even want to be more than 205-210 now because my body seems like it would just start putting on fat. I dont want to get TOO big, ya know? Im lookin for that lean look. Mainly wanting strength anyway for football at the JC next year.

I saw those, sick videos. I might try to widen my stance on squats like yours. Not too wide but still wider than I do. I think I am rally tight in my lower back/hip flexors because its hard to go down low and explode through my heels but Ill video my squats and post them on here.

Also our deadlifts are same, hips higher with shoulder over the bar. I feel so much more power this way rather than hips low/shoulder behind the bar. I feel like im squatting the weight up with my hips low, and 315 feels like 500lbs. As long as my lower back is straight I dont see whats wrong with hips being higher, I think its more flexibility/limb length issues rather than form.
