StrongLifts 5x5, Week 2, Day 1

I felt pretty good when I woke up this morning, slightly sore but nothing like previous days, so I was looking forward to this workout. It was the shorter of the normal routines, so it went pretty fast and the results were overall good - I passed all the lifts.

Week A

Monday	Wednesday	Friday
Squat 5x5 (20kg)	Squat 5x5 (22.5kg)	Squat 5x5 (25 kg)
Bench press 5x5 (20kg)	Overhead press 5x5 (20kg)	Bench press 5x5 (22.5kg)
Barbell Row 5x5 (30kg)	Deadlift 1x5 (40kg)	Barbell Row 5x5 (30kg)

Week B

Monday	Wednesday	Friday
Squat 5x5 (27.5kg)	Squat 5x5 (30kg)	Squat 5x5
Overhead press 5x5 (22.5kg)	Bench press 5x5 (25kg)	Overhead press 5x5 (25kg)
Deadlift 1x5 (45kg)	Barbell Row 5x5 (30kg)	Deadlift 1x5 (50kg)

The only real commentary I had about today is that I think my squat form has improved (finally) and that I was really feeling the struggle towards the end of the last set on the Overhead press for some reason. Oh well, Wednesday is the Barbell Row, the bane of my existence so far. Let's hope I can conquer it and move up a rung.

It's a day off today, so time to relax a bit and study my Japanese some more, but first let's have a multi-vitamin (I always bloody forget) and a shower.

Ja na (じゃな)!
