Deadlifting my way to Happiness - Al420's log

If you want to train 5 days a week.....you can squat and pull 3 times a week on Tues-Thurs-Sat as your base, and you can press on Mon and Fri.....so a rough layout would look like.....

Monday:

BTN Push Press (5x5 add weight each set)
Flat Bench (5x5 straight weight)
Incline Dumbells (3x15)
D-Bell Skulls (4x8)

Tuesday:

Back Squat: 5x5, add weight each set
Deadlift: one week go 5x5 adding weight each set, the next go 3x3 adding weight each set, the next work up to a heavy single, the 4th week do rack pulls from 18", then repeat the cycle
Decline Situps: 3 sets of 20 reps (if 20 is too easy, add weight)

Wed: off

Thursday:

Front Squat (5-5-5-3-3-3-3) (add weight each set)
Barbell Row (5x5, add weight each set)
Chins (3 sets, try to add 1 total rep each week, when you ge tall 3 x 10, add some weight)

Friday:

Flat Bench (5x5 adding weight one week, then 5-5-5-3-3-3 adding weight each set, then 5-5-5-1-1-1-1-1 adding weight each set, after every workout do 1x8-12 as a backoff...keep repeating the cycle)

Strict Standing Press: 5x5, add weight each set

Dips: 3 sets, when you can get all 3x15, add weight

Random gay iso stuff for triceps if you want to do it can be done here, but you probably shouldn't waste the time

Saturday:

Back Squat: 5-5-5-5 (same progression as Tues, then do a triple with 5lbs more than you did for 5 on Tues and use this as the weight for your top 5 on Tues....finish with 2 backoff sets of 8ish reps)

Jump Shrug : 6 sets of 5, add weight each set and go heavy

Calves : whatever you like

Biceps : whatever you like
 
Weight this AM: 220 - really confusing - may quit weighing myself daily as it is a mind fuck

Todays workout:

Back Squat: 135x10, 185x5, 225x5, 275x5, 315x5, 365x3 - not sure why I racked - speed was good as I was really explosive on all 3 reps - my breathing was bit off so I racked it. I feel like I will be pushing 405 throught the ceiling in a week or 2.
Deadlifts: 135x5, 225x5, 315x5, 315x5, 405x1 - totally out of gas
Decline Situps: BWx20x3

I squatted on Sunday pretty heavy - 315x5x5 - so I thought I would gas sooner. 365x3 is a PR I think - I need to look back to make sure, but I am almost positive

Walking in to the gym today I got a few "holy shit" comments - one about my traps and one about my shoulders. Both people said I looked huge and they see me almost daily - I think they need glasses but it was nice to hear. :rainbow:
 
Weigh yourself daily, but don't read too much into day-to-day variations. Look at, say, a week's worth of numbers to find overall trends in weight gain to figure out whether you need to eat more.

Noticeably larger traps/shoulders, relatively easy squat PR a couple days after a 5x5 squat workout...good indications that this should be the beginning of a fun stretch for you.

I just started this Monday after finishing the 5x5 for 8 weeks. Thought you might want to look at it. It has all the big movements used first with lower reps. Again..........insane squats..... :evil:
 
It's no illusion that your traps are bigger - you have a higher concentration of androgen receptors in that area, and a quick increase in size in the shoulders/traps is the norm when your drugs kick in.
 
Nice skwatting, brother......yeah, gear gives amazing cosmetic results to the traps/upper back and shoulder girdle.....take a look at your rear delts in the mirror, they probably look all sorts of jacked up too.....pretty soon, the t shirts will start fitting funny......this is gonna get real fun, real quick for you.
