Felt great. I was glad to have my workout partner with me again. That really helps. Time to up the weight on the assistance work.

My spotter wasn't thinking during my last set of bench, and he stepped away in mid set. I had to remind him that I was going to failure while doing my set, so this really messed up my rhythm and wasted some energy to speak. I think I could have gotten more if it weren't for that.

Hypers

Abs (Leg raise)
3 sets of 10
I filmed my last set of deads...
Note to self: be sure to lock out the last few reps of a heavy deadlift set.
Strength doesn't seem to be suffering on deadlifts. Another thing I'm noticing is that I have a lot more endurance in the gym. Before, I'd have to rest forever between a heavy set of deads and the next exercise. Now I just finish one thing and move right on to the next. That's nice.

I haven't really kept this thing up, but I have been working out. I weigh 181 lbs now. That's down almost 20 lbs.
Bench press on 9.29.11: 195x8
Bench press on 11.4.11: 190x5
Today I also did:
Close Grip Bench
135x8
135x7
135x6
Pullups

I really look forward to eating more and getting bigger. Eating right isn't that hard for me when cutting. What's hard is getting excited about working out while getting weaker.

So I knew today was going to be a good test of how much stength I currently have versus how much I had prior to cutting. I hit a deadlift PR a few months ago with 345x5. Today, I got 340x4, so I'm pretty happy about that. It looks like I'm hanging in there.

Yeah bro good to see you're still at it. Very inspiring man, I am about a month into a 5x5 routine and part of the reason I decided to give it a try was because of this thread. Keep up the hard work bro.

I haven't posed in this baby in quite some time! I'm pretty sure no one cares, but here's what's been going on:
Well, I've been working out consistently since I started this log back in Feb 2011. It looks like I stopped posting around this time last year. I did a cut from August 2011-March 2012. Quite a long time. I lost a lot of strength, and I wasn't even that strong in the first place. But, I did go from 200 to 155. Keep in mind that I'm only 5'5". Anyway, in March, I started trying to put on weight verrrry slowly. That sort of worked...Sort of. I also had a rough summer with personal issues, so that messed with my motivation and appetite. However, once Fall came around, I started making more progress. I decided to give the 3x5 Starting Strength routine another go just to hurry up and get my strength up. I ended up surpassing some of my old PRs at 25lbs lighter bodyweight. I ended the 3x5 routine a week ago and moved on to 5/3/1 Boring But Big. I suppose I'll start posting in here again. Current stats:
5'5"
180lbs
Squat: 320x5
Bench: 220x5
Deadlift: Not really sure. I'm guessing at least 360ishx5.
I've made what I consider super slow progress as I approach my 2nd year of lifting. But, its been fun, and I feel like lately I've been making more progress than ever. Party on.
