5/11/2011 Evening

Stretch: seated straddle stretch, moving left, right, and middle; butterfly, glute stretch, reverse hurdler stretch.

5/13/2011

SL 5x5A

Squats: warmups 45x5x2, 70x3, 95x2, work weight 155x5x5

Bench press: warmups 45x5x2, 90x4, 105x2, work weight 135x5x5

Barbell rows: warmups 65x5, 65x2, work weight 75x5x5

In the spirit of using the Stronglifts program to its fullest, I decided to back the weight for bench press way down, and also fixed my technique. My goals with this program are to get my bench over 250 and to get my squat to 300 lbs. I've never squatted that much before, and am excited about getting there.

Evening stretch: hip flexor stretches, seated straddle (left, right, middle), butterfly, glutes, reverse hurdler.

5/16/2011

TKD: 6:00 - 7:15. Basics, stretching, forms, one-steps, and one bad round of sparring. I did land a spin hook kick to a guys head, though. I've got to get my sparring up to par. I've can do a form indicative of my rank, but my sparring is just kind of blah.

5/17/2011

SL 5x5B

Squats: warmups: 45x5x2, 95x3, 115x2; work weight: 160x5x5

Overhead press: warmups: 45x5x2; work weight: 55x5x5

Dead lift: warmups: 75x5, 3; work weight: 105x5

The squats felt heavier today, but I'm hoping it was just the time off, and Thursday goes a bit better. Still finished all the sets. The only problem I've noticed is I am squatting more than dead lifting, because of how I started the program. Oh well, it'll get there.

Stretch: bar stretches for hams and quads, stretched hip flexors on the floor. Hip flexors were screaming at me today.

Edit: forgot to mention that I checked my BMI and body fat last week. Kind of bad, though: body fat at 31.7%, body mass index at 38.6.
