- My left hamstring was feeling a little tight or pulled when I was doing squats. I'm going to look into why this might be. I felt like my form was pretty good.
- I don't think I've been resting enough in between sets. A good example was during my Overhead Press - I rested about 60 seconds between set 3 and 4 and struggled with set 4, then I rested 90 seconds and managed to complete set 5 with ease.
- My Deadlift form does not seem right. I feel like I'm doing something wrong and I know I am rolling my feet when I lift, which is wrong.
Week A
| Monday | Wednesday | Friday |
| Squat 5x5 (35kg) | Squat 5x5 | Squat 5x5 |
| Bench press 5x5 (27.5kg) | Overhead press 5x5 (27.5kg) | Bench press 5x5 |
| Barbell Row 5x5 (32.5kg) | Deadlift 1x5 (55kg) | Barbell Row 5x5 |
Week B
| Monday | Wednesday | Friday |
| Squat 5x5 (27.5kg) | Squat 5x5 (30kg) | Squat 5x5 (32.5kg) |
| Overhead press 5x5 (22.5kg) | Bench press 5x5 (25kg) | Overhead press 5x5 (25kg) |
| Deadlift 1x5 (45kg) | Barbell Row 5x5 (30kg) | Deadlift 1x5 (50kg) |
All in all I feel like this is progressing pretty good. No idea if I am getting stronger yet since I'm fairly certain this is all weight that I could have lifted prior to starting the program (with the exception of the Barbell Row, obviously because I failed on that one twice!) Supposedly all the exercises and the order has a "synergistic" effect on each other so I should steadily see gains across the board. I'm super curious to see what happens now and I'm wondering what weeks 6 or 8 will look like.
