For reference:

Ok I thought maybe it's time I start a log here.


Lifting history: started 2 years ago, basically did only bench and pull-ups until I found this forum. Couldn't lift much last year because of my job. Now that I bought a squat rack, I started lifting again, this time with proper lifts. I rely mainly on "Starting strength" and on the forum.

Purpose: strength and power for judo ; grip strength for gi holding ; also getting weight to the top limit of my weigth division (81kg) without too much fat.

Current goals: squat, deadlift and bench 100kg (220lb). When I'll get there, start again :)
Current PR: squat 5x141lb, deadlift 5x141lb, bench 5x180lb
I know it's weak, but as I'm gradually increasing the weight by 2kg steps, it might take time before I find my actual PR. I prefer to start slow and make sure I keep good form. (also used to bench a lot more, in my curl monkeys days ^^)

Routine : currently I cycle 4 kind of workout sessions:

Strength day A:
-Squat 5x5
-Bench 5x5
-BOR 5x5
-weighted dips 5x5
-CoC 5x5

Strength day B:
-Deadlift 5x5
-OHP 5x5
-Turkish get-up 5x5
-weighted pull-ups 5x5
-CoC 5x5

Gas day A :
-50/20 with a "clean + front squat + OHP" complex
-interval burpees

Gas day B :
-50/20 with a "DB snatch + turkish get-up" complex
-interval burpees

I try to have at least 2 "strength days" in a week; whenever I can, I add a third.
I try to have at least 1 "gaz day" in a week; whenever I can, I add a second.
And this is my routine... plus a lot of boring running with my job (Army).

Thanks for any comment, remark, support, insult...
