Leg Workout

Squat 5*5

1st set=135
2nd set= 155
3rd set= 185
4th set=210
5th set= 235

that's not realy 5x5... its more like 4 warmup sets and 1x5... if you did 5x5 with the 235 you would be able to cut out some other leg exersises... get a much more intense workout... and probably get a lot stronger....

Just a question.
Do you guys get the rush and focus as if you took No-Xplode?

Despite my opinions of the person selling the product, I would like to evalute it. But my first opinion is that it is a scam until further good bros here say otherwise

Professor you have to understand that I am weak in this area and I am trying to build a base here. If you have a sugesstion let me hear it.

Do you see any real benefits from using this "supplement" I see you give it praise the first days, but can you continue this log for several weeks for instance

I can continue for as long as people want to see a log on here. You may have ill feeling towards the seller of the product, but you cant talk badly about someting you have never used. Honestly if you tried it I am sure you would feel otherwise.

5*5 Bench Press

1st Set=155
2nd Set=180
3rd Set=225
4th Set=240
5th Set=265

youre doing the same thing with bench also... its not the fact that its a 'weak' part... its the intensity level you're using... 5 reps with 155 is hardly a set at all compared to 240 or 265... but you go on to use 4 other chest movements... it would make more sense to at least attempt 5 sets with the 265... or maybe more realisticaly the 240...
so my question is... how do you consider the lower weight... with low reps actual working sets?

I didnt just make up weight to use and use it. I typed in my 5 rep max and 1 rep max in Bill Starrs 5*5 program and those are the numbers I got. I have been adding 5 lbs to my bench every week for the past 6 weeks which I think is really good. Since I have been doing really well with the bench I was hoping it was gonna transfer over the squat so those are the numbers I got.

What do you go on chest day? So you feel that 4 extra chest movements after bench is too many?

 

[theprofessor]

i think at least a couple more attempts at the heavy 5x5 would be much better than 4 extra exersises... you don't have to get 5reps each set with that weight... just try... personaly i usualy only do one other chest movement other than bench... if you have enough energy left after benching to do 4 more exersises... i honestly think you need to use more of that energy on your bench... same with legs... more focus on the squats...
you are improving... and that is good... but i think you will progress faster focusing more on the compound lifts...

Thank you for your advice. I cant say that I have that much energy left after benching but I just like to push myself to the limits that is why I do extra exercises afterwards. Maybe I will cut it down though becuase I seem to be sore a bit longer than I should be. With squats I will take your advice I will probably use set 1 through 3 as warmup and then hit another 4 or 5 sets with moderate to heavy weight.

Thanks bro
