I'm Paul, 18yrs old. 2 years na po ako ngbubuhat and no serious progress. when i saw this site nag sign up po agad ako and posted my problem. nakakatuwa po kasi andami po agad ngbigay ng advice skin. one of them suggested that i try the 5x5 program for me to gain strength first. before i start this program i decided to make my journal and update this every month.
eto po ako as of.(may 24, 2012)

typical 3 main meals po ako with rice, meat and veggies then kaunting merienda pag nagutom.
and possible po ba maging ripped sa 5x5 or strength lng po tlga muna sya? thanks :]
squats 5x5
bench 5x5
rows 5x5
nung una i doubted this workout kasi it is only composed of 3 exercises pero ngaun paggising ko haha! ang sakit ng buong katawan ko. itutuloy-tuloy ko na tong workout na toh. :]
by the way mga masters ano sa tingin nyo body type ko? ecto, endo, or meso?
kakatapos ko lng magenroll, 3rd yr BSIT. nakuha ko na din yung schedule ko for the first semester. binago ko po yung schedule ng workout ko and it looks like this:
Tuesday: 5x5
Wed: OFF
Thurs: 5x5
Friday: OFF
Sat: muay thai
Sunday: 5x5
Monday: OFF
ok lng po ba yung schedule ko? or gawin ko pong sat: muay in the morning then 5x5 in the evening?.
nagugustuhan ko na po yung 5x5 program i can feel all my bodyparts working on each session. thanks mga masters! :]
after 2 weeks sinunod ko yung instruction dun sa SL 5x5 journal na kuhanin timbang ko and body fat percentage may improvement naman po. :]
i computed my body fat % @Livestrong.com
before i started the program stats:
Body weight:150lbs
Body fat: 15%
After 2 weeks of 5x5:
Body weight:154lbs
Body fat: 14.7%
Di gaya nung iba dito tanong na tanong sabay kokontra kaya ayun payatot pa din! hehehe
thanks sir mighty!
i'm gaining strength na din after 2 weeks pa lang i'm really enjoying doing 5x5 na! rep point for you sir!
normal lang po ba yung 2lbs per week?
may nabasa kasi ako na pag magbulk 1lb per week lang, or water weight lang kaya yung another 1lb?
@stannis oo sir naranasan kong maging sobrang taba then mali din yung diet ko nung nagpapayat talagang naging patpatin naman kaya ngayon careful ako sa diet ko. gusto ko ng transformation!
Wahahaha! Sapul!
thanks sir for the quick reply,
yung gym ko po kasi ngayon yung pinaka malapit sa amin, and when it comes to leg training they only offer machines. yung ibang gym na alam ko sobrang malayo naman and i nakakapunta lang ako doon kapag may overnight sa tropa.
effective tlga sir 5x5 give it a try. :]
talagang mahirap yan pag walang Squat Rack... nahihirapan nga ako e na meron squat rack lalo na pag 3rd set ko na....
2nd workout 3rd week of 5x5. so far so good dami na nakakapansin sa school gumaganda na daw katawan ko sabi ng mga schoolmates specialy girls. yeah!
eto po buhat ko kanina:
squat- 90lbs
overhead press- 70lbs
deadlift- 120lbs
lat pulls- 100lbs (tuwing deadlift day i add sets of lat pulls in my workout)
guys tanong lang sa standing press nakumpleto ko naman yung 5x5 kaso hirap ako sa 4th to 5th set
mejo pangit form, sa tingin nyo po sa next standing press ko should i repeat the weight lifted na 70lbs para mas maayos ko yung form or derecho lang ako mag add ng weight?
thanks sir for the advice! maybe ulitin ko muna weight sa SMP siguraduhin ko munang comfortbale na ako before adding weight baka mainjured pa ako.. ahaha
