A little bit of new formatting today. For the lifts, it will be current lift (max lift).
Weight: 164lbs. up 2 lbs.
Squats: 180 (180). Spent 3 work-outs doing this weight. Today I finally hit it, felt really good about it. Only up 5 lbs since last week.
Bench: 130 (130). Up 5lbs, really energizing to finally see bench is going up.
Overhead Press: 90 (90). With the increase in bench, I expected OHP to go up as well. Up 5lbs.
Pendlay Rows: 105 (115). Lowered this last week, working way back up.
Deadlift: 245 (245). Seriously, chalk makes a difference. My grip is pretty weak, I chalked up and my hands were screaming in pain, insane grip. I noticed an increase using leg power instead of compensating with trying to lift with arms/shoulders. Up 5lbs, again working way back up, previously best was 240, and attempts at 250.
I was really feeling demotivated these past few work-outs because almost all lifts were stalling but today I saw increases in all lifts performed today. That one good work-out makes it all worthwhile.
I will be running Stronglifts for 4 months, I'm currently 2 months in and have seen significant gains in a lot of areas. Mainly weight, I started out at around 154lbs (10lbs increase), squats was at 115lbs (65lbs increase) and deadlifts but not too sure exactly where I left off from.
