SSBBT log

[rooster201]

18 y/o male.

Starting SSBBT for real. Played around with it during track season, got away with the easy gains without gaining weight. Now, I'm done with track and will do the linear progression program properly. Starting lifts will be as follows:

Squat 155lbs
Bench 130lbs
Deadlift 190lbs
Press 80lbs
Power Clean Might as well relearn.

Initial stats will come with the first w/o.

2.13.2010

Squat
155x5x3

Bench
125x5x3

Deadlift
180x5

Notes: I will probably only list working sets in this journal. Form on squats was good, I think. Forgot to bring my camera; will do so next workout. Got my gallon of milk and will work my way up. I think I can do a gallon a day comfortably; time's the only issue. Will take a starting weight after business in the bathroom is through.

150 damn lbs. Thank god I'm done with track. Time to gain and move some weight.

2.15.2010

Squats
165x5x3

Press
80x5x3

Powerclean
85x5x3

Notes: Video recorder ran out of battery...Squat form was good. Press and power cleans were okay. Had a pounder and a shake afterwards. Decent sleep.

2.17.2010

Squats
175x5x3

Bench
130x5x3

Deadlift
195x5

Notes: Some kid was incapable of taking a video of my squats....Friend got a video of my deadlifts, though. C2 Rower is good for warming up. Level 5. Had a bit difficulty with depth, perhaps a couple bad reps with the bar. Corrected itself after the warmups stretched me out. All not too hard. Bench was a bit challenging. Will buy fractional plates soon.

2.24.2010

Squats
205x5x3

Press
90x5x3

Power Cleans

Notes: Squat form sloppy. Depth and balance. Press was easy. Power Cleans were easy.

[rooster201]

2.27.2010


Squat
215x5x3

Bench
140x5x3

Deadlift
225x5

Notes: Squat form worse. Should've recognized it last week. Too anxious to get two plates...5lb increases from now on. Will record next time. Bench warmup felt iffy, working sets EASY. Deadlift a bit more challenging, still double overhand. Will decide between 10lb or 15lb increase day of.

3.1.2010

Squats
220x5x3

Press
95x5x3

PowerCleans
100x3x5

Notes: Squats increasingly difficult. Umm, embarrassing, but freaking ripped my boxers while squatting (sweating too much because of sweats?). Distracted me a bit...Presses were surprisingly easy. Powercleans were easy, form got a bit worse later.

[rooster201]

3.3.2010

Squat
225x5,5,4

Bench
145x5x3

Deadlift
240x5

Notes: Missed rep on squat means I definitely was not reaching adequate depth last week. Got lifting shoes, feel good. Bench is really easy once warmups are complete. Another 15lb jump for deadlift next time.

[rooster201]

3.7.2010

Squat
225x5x3

Press
100x5x3

PowerClean
105x5x3

Notes: Got the squat, but was difficult. Cue: eat more! Bag of trail mix with milk last night. Finally getting close to being able to tolerate a full gallon of milk. By next week, GOMAD should be doable. Press form was sloppy, but it went up easily nonetheless. Powercleans SUCKED with shorts and short socks...

[rooster201]

Tissue injuries because of longboarding. No lifting?

[rooster201]

So, I'm pretty messed up. Injuries on my left hand, right forearm, back, posterior shoulder, right hip, right thigh, left knee. No training for a while...

[rooster201]

3.10.2010

Update on injuries.

Hand wound still present, and would interfere with training, though it is recovering steadily. Forearm wound would not interfere, nor would the back wound and the side wound. I'm most worried about my knee, which still hurts to extend. Also, my right thigh SEEMS fine. Start training next week?

[rooster201]

3.12.2010

Hoping to train on Monday. All injuries scabbed up. Will be able to fully bend knee without pain by then, hopefully.

Use same weights as last workout?

[rooster201]

3.15.2010

Squat
220x3, 210x5x2

Bench
140x5x3

Deadlift
225x5

Notes: Squats sucked....Bench was easy. Deadlift was a bit difficult. I need to gain some real weight now. I didn't eat much on the mini break, lost weight....and its effects are obvious. Back to get strong diet.

[rooster201]

Too lazy to post the other workout....

3.20.2010

Squat
215x5x3

Bench
145x5x3

Deadlift
245x5

Notes: I freaking got injured, and my thumb was jammed. Whatever. Good workout, despite the difficulties. But god damn it, I'll make it back to where i was before all the injuries, and then I'll be off on spring break. Fuck, I need consistency...

[rooster201]

3.23.2010

Squat
220x5x3

Press
100x5x3

PowerClean
105x5x3

Notes: Crappy sleep this weekend. Squats look good in print, but form/depth was not perfect. Will redo. Everything was hard today. Need to sleep...

[rooster201]

3.27.2010

Squat
225x5x3

Press
105x5,5,3

PowerClean
110x3x5

Notes: I suck at updating this.

[rooster201]

3.29.2010

Squats
230x5x3

Bench
155x5x3

Deadlift
265x5

Notes: Squat form a little off (on toes). Not sure how to proceed, but will probably increase weight, assuming adequate recovery. Bench was easy, despite bad form (not tight). Deadlift was easy as well.

[rooster201]

3.31.2010

Squat
235x5x3

Press
105x5x3

PowerClean
115x3x5

Notes: Squat wasn't as hard as it seemed to be. Same form problems as last time (weight not always on middle of foot), but pleased with them nonetheless (good effort). Presses were good. Should start microloading now I think. PowerClean form deteriorates at sets 4 & 5. Might not be able to train for a week now....

[rooster201]

Update:

Spring break screwed me over slightly. Busting my ass (literally) on my longboard AGAIN put me back a couple weeks. Damn it.
