GSP's Better late than never 3X5...

straps and gloves? no diff right?

 

[GSP]

Yeah I'd say you have plenty especially since you just switched to mixed grip. Wait til you strap up

Yeah, and I need to find a way to sneak some chalk into the gym. They don't technically allow it, but I noticed that a couple of the very few real lifters that go there use it and are just very good about cleaning it up. I used some chalk I borrowed from someone else during Deads last week, and it made a huge difference. In fact, I think I go could double overhand for 10-15 more pounds with it.

Oh, and this morning while I was shaving, my 5 year old son woke up and walked into the bathroom and said "Daddy, your muscles look bigger than they used to". My wife swore she didn't put him up to it!

Yeah, I just brush it off when he points out that I have less hair and a bigger stomach than him, but that one was pretty cool.

Thanks man! I have to say Rippetoe's program has already exceeded my expectations. I'm not exactly over the hill, but I'm no spring chicken anymore either, and I questioned how far I could ride the PR's without the hormone levels of a 16-22 year old.

5/29 - Workout B

Squats (3X5) 205 PR
Standing Press (3X5) 128 PR
Pendlay Rows (3X5) 163 PR

Comments: Another great squat workout. I don't know if this is normal or not, but I get a little nervous sometimes now before I get under the bar for a squat PR attempt. I'll get a bit of an adrenaline dump as I step under the bar, then have to back out for about 10 seconds till it settles down. The good thing though is that I get really focused right after it, I just have to time things right.

Whatever I did right for my shoulder over the last 6 weeks was undone and then some last Wed. when I failed on DB Bench. When tucked my elbows back on squats I thought my arm was going to rip out. It was better once warmed up though, and gave me no problems by the time Pressing came around.

Well, this sums up of one of the most monotonous and successful journals I've seen. One look at this journal should convince anyone considering this program/style of training to give it a try.

I read all of your updates but there's never much to say except "congrats on the PRs." So, uh, congrats on the PRs.

Agreed. GSP is a real broken record
