30 Days into Starting Strength, and here are my gains so far:
Squat 3x5 +100lbs, 155 to 255
Deadlift 1x5 +80lbs, 255 to 335
Bench 3x5 +30lbs, 135 to 165
Power Clean 5x3, +20lbs, 155 to 175
Press +25lbs, 105 to 130
Keep in mind that my starting point for work sets at the onset of the program have a bit of sand bagging in them to get accustomed to heavy lifting again, but I'm still pretty pleased with the top line results. On track for my year end 2012 goals for squats and deads, but bench is starting to stall. Perhaps I need to do more volume on the weeks where i'm only doing one bench workout. (2012 goals are 225/315/405 1RM on bench/squat/dead. Basically just going for 2 plates, 3 plates, 4 plates on the bar)
Plan on doing GOMAD during November to spark some growth. Not sure if my body can take it, though. Last time I did it, my skin flared up due to all the dairy in my system. Whatever it takes to get huge though, right?
