Ok sugazombie, you have been stuck at 110 on your squat for awhile now. So lets do this. Go ahead and add 5 lbs. Try like hell to get your 5 reps in on each set. For your first set you should be ok. For your secon set if you have to do 3 and then get in a few real good breaths then hit the next 2 thats fine.
For the rest try like hell to get just get as close to 5 as you can. We can continue to build up to the full reps and sets over the next few workouts.
I dont wanna see you stall out yet and this is how you get around that.
Using straps is just fine on your DL. Your not competing anway. But you may wanna try the mixed grip. That is one hand overhand and the other hand underhand. So what I am saying is one hand knuckles away from you. The other hand knuckles toward you. It takes a bit of gettin used to but it is a gr8 wya to do DLs. This is the grip that I use for DL and rack pulls. Also alternate hands each set. This way no imbalances or strains.
And lastly but not least....
NICE WORKOUT!!
And just after lastly, what was the number that you got for you caloric requirments for maintenance cals? What ever that was add a full 500 cals from today till you reach the end of this program cycle. Your bod is needing it!
What is your bod weight right now?

Hey Zed!! I only started on 110lb mon I've never stuck on one yet I add 5lb every week I don't know if you remember but you said only add 1nce per week on squats instead of every workout. I'm due to add 5lb mon ,
That hand thing is how I normal grab a bar but as I gave in and used straps I changed to over hand ,
1700 is my caloric intake but tbh I think that's wrong. I try to consume a gallon water and 2300 cals per day.
Thanks buddy.

Ok my mistake sugazombie. I didnt read back far enough. Sorry for that.....
Yeah with the straps you have to go overhand.
1700 cant be right even for a zombie sugazombie!LOL
I think one of your sistas put up the calculations to do your cals either here or in sweetteas log. If not let me know and I will figure it for you.
