anyhow...
deadlifts:
40kg/20 reps (warm up)
60kg/15 reps (warm up)
110kg/5 reps
110kg/5 reps
110kg/5 reps
110kg/5 reps
140kg/5 reps
found 110kg quite easy, but left it like that coz thats what my mate was maxing out on. quite liked the 5x5, but think i'll do it with 140kg thoughtout next time. only 10kg off my target! might have to up it!  |
isn't the idea of 5x5 to do the max amount of weight for 5 reps 5 times? if you could do 140 for 5 at the fifth set, you should have started at about 180...
