I'm on a program based on Starting Strength
3x5reps except DL
A: Sqt/bnch/DL
B: Sqt/Press/bent row
6 Weeks in on this program, 6 months in to touching weights again:
Seems mostly all good. Based on approximates from 5rm(well 3 set 5rm).
Sqt: 1.4 bw
Bench: 1.1bw
DL: 1.7bw
It's not big powerlifting good, but good for novice. Seems like I'm even starting to hit "intermediate" type ranges.
I'll admit I'm not 100% perfect form. I tend to be sloppy on 3rd rep and clean it back up. But overall deep sqts, chest touch bench, good stuff. I do keep trying to perfect my form at least.
So I hit my first failure on press. But I'll admit I had fucked off a bit the week before(tried not increasing in weight but reps, then jumped up weight this week). Q1I had to push-press the last 2 reps on my third set. Should I reset, pause, or just push on?
I'm about to have 3 weeks of backpacking/beaching/swimming coming up. No access to weights. What should I do about this? I'll be carry 30-40lbs for a few hours each day. Even in 2 weeks I may have to take Friday off as I have a mtn I'm going to try to summit.
Similarly I might be moving and have pretty limited time/gym access at the end of Feb. How should I keep from losing my progress, especially if I'm running a lot? Should I just keep up on the protein and lots of push ups?
q2Basically I'm looking to maintain. What's my best strategy for this with a gym? or without?
