Posted at August 27, 2013, 4:51 pm: cmdrfunk's 5x5 Journa I'm doing the program described here http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow...Linear_5x5.ht Weights are in pounds Sets are 5 reps unless otherwise noted I have platemates (magnets) which allow me to add 2.5 lbs total to either a barbell or dumbbell so that's why you'll see weights such as 52.5 and 67.5 My current weight is 181 lbs and i don't really know my body fat percentage or where to go to measure it. I have a bit of a gut but not too much. If i were just to cut i could probably have a six pack in a month or two. My upper abs show a little now Anything that says BW means my body weight Mon 7-3-0 Squats 100, 125, 155, 180, 20 DB Flat Bench 35, 42.5, 52.5, 60, 7 Bent Over Row 75, 95, 115, 135, 15 Weighted Hyperextensions 45 x 8, 45 x Weighted Decline Sit up 45x5, 45x5, 45x Wed 7-5-0 Squats 100, 125, 155, 15 Standing Military Barbell Press 60, 70, 80, 92.5, 100x5 (shouldn't have done the 100x5 but i forgot the sheet and that there's only 4 sets of these Deadlift 145, 175, 205, 232. Fri 7-7-0 Went home for the weekend holiday. Bad time to start a new workout plan, huh Mon 7-10-0 Squats 102.5, 130, 157.5, 182.5, 21 DB Flat Bench 35, 45, 52.5, 62.5, 72. Bent Over Row 77.5, 97.5, 117.5, 140, 16 Wed 7-12-0 Squats 105, 130, 157.5, 157. Standing Military Barbell Press 60, 70, 82.5, 9 Deadlift 135, 180, 210, 24 Fri 7-14-0 Squat 105, 130, 157.5, 185, 215x3, 157.5x DB Flat Bench 35, 45, 52. BB Flat Benc 175x5, 155x5, 155x Bent Over Ro 82.5, 105, 125, 145, 171x3, 125x Ok, I'm confused about something. I had started using DB flat bench instead of barbell because I usually don't have a spotter. Sometimes no one else is even in the gym. I workout in a small gym on the military base annex I work on (i'm a civilian though). I'm not sure if i'm even supposed to be able to do DBs for that exercise instead of barbell since i hadn't been able to find any mention of it. I figured it was okay Anyway, lifting up the dbs to get them into position is too hard especially with how sore my lower back has been from this program. The worst part is the platemates don't allow me to sit the dbs on my knees to kick them up into position since they'd get knocked off. I'd basically have to curl them into position before i lied down. I don't know about you but i can't db curl 75 lbs So is there a way to use the dbs? Am i even allowed to use them on this program? I use barbell for everything else. It's hard to add 1-2 pounds to a dumbbell every session, which is basically what a 2.5% increase from the previous session comes out to (70 lbs * .025 = 1.75) Original of the message was taken from http://forum.bodybuilding.com/ Replies:Try laying them on your legs (palm down) and rocking your entire body ...Yeah i tried that.
