Im getting stronger...thanks EF!

[sean34]

YO EF members,

good can from checking out these forums. I found EF doing a search on how to DL and been here every since (about 4-5months). Lots of knowledge and passion here...

on to the numbers:

Ive added about 50 pounds to my squat, 50 pounds to DL's, and 50 pounds to my barbell rows all in the past 4 months...giddyup

These #'s are based on my working sets and not maxes.

before id sqaut 315 for 5 reps, now up to 365 for 5reps
DL 275 x 3 and now im doing 325 for 3x
and i got up to 225 x 5-6 reps on barbell rows

im 6'3" 240 so the numbers arent great by any means but I like the progression!

so thanks to all who contribute to EF. Ive been learning a lot and this forum is really helping me make solid gains.

Throughout a 7 day period I do these workouts...rest 3 days per week, rest when i feel i need recovery

As a rule I go for 5 reps per set...lower even on squats and DLs. I think this is a solid program for my goals. Workouts are short and sweet, lasting usually an hour. "brevity is the soul of wit" (shakespeare) and I think the same applies to workouts...

happy training,


Sean
