Starting Strength

With the new garage gym, we are going to be beginning a Starting Strength program. The goal for the first workout  is to set 5 RM for three lifts: squat, bench press, and dead lift. We started with an empty bar and kept adding weight until the bar slowed down or there was a break in form. At that point we kept that weight and did 2 more sets of 5. 

Here are the 5 RM weights: Squat, bench press, dead lift

e 205, 145, 255

a 45, 45, 80

Next workout will be squats, military presses, and power cleans. We will be adding 5 pounds to the squats, and establishing 5 RM for military presses, and power cleans. Every workout we will add 5 pounds to every lift except the dead lift which we will be adding 10 pounds.
