Week 1, Day 1 - July 3rd, 2006
Workout A
Squats: 3x5x65
Bench press: 3x5x75
Deadlift: 1x5x65
I'm 5'11 and around 140 lbs. (I'm picking up a scale tommorow)
I wasn't sure how much weight to start with, so I started with the bar in each warmup and added a little at a time. Today's the day after I think I could have benched more. My legs are really sore, my chest is only a little bit.
I also took it easier than I thought I could have on the deadlift. I was having trouble keeping good form, and I didn't want to injure myself. I'm looking forward to friday so I can take another shot at this one.
I was swimming earlier that day day, and swam again the day after I worked out. I stretched inbetween each rep.
The entire workout took me around an hour.
