STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

First day of Strong Lifts 5x5 went well, following the program so I just started with the bar weight.  I probably shouldn't have done this, but i doubled my reps since it was so simple.  I don't plan on doing this once I up the weight, since I will have warm up sets to do.  The most difficult wasthe Barbell Row, I feel like my form was complete garbage so I plan on reviewing some more videos today.

So here are my beginning weights:

Squat 45lb

Bench 45lb

Barbell Row 65lb
 
1000





We don't worry about new years resolutions, we're freaks.

I dread this time of year the most because it's almost the first of January AKA new resolutioners at the gym. I don't mind anyone bettering themselves, but you shouldn't need for the clock to strike 1/1 to start or give up within a month or so. You didn't get in that shape in that time frame, and you won't lose it completely in the same duration. Parking becomes such a problem...factor in with the dudes who come to ball and the folks who come to those workout classes...it feels like I'm in undergrad trying to find a parking spot during 10AM :lol: Have to follow folks to their cars and all.

**** doesn't bother me...if you're waiting till 1/1 to make a resolution, chances are you'll be out of the gym (or working out sporadically) by 1/8. I workout at weird hours, so I don't normally see the rush.
 
I find myself cracking my back often, never was able to crack it before. Ia that a bad sign?
edit: it cracks when I foam roll too. Maybe I should stop foam rolling?

I do. The bass is a lot heavier than the stock iPod earbuds I've been using for the last years. I think it kills my iPod quicker too, maybe to power up the ear buds. The only annoyance I have is I can feel them on my ears when I'm running at over 10 mph.

Yeah, man. Before I had a typical shift I used to love working at weird hours. At 2AM I used to run into nurses and doctors. At 6AM it was the senior citizens. Now that I work 8AM to 6PM, I go to the gym after work so that's prime time for the rush sadly.
