Dakota Phillips's Training Log

My name is Dakota, I'm new to lifting, let alone power lifting. I want to improve my appearance, self-confidence, and get stronger.
Today's training: September 28, 2013
Introduction to benching, bar only - I'm completely untrained and it felt odd getting in the proper position for the lifts.

Dumbell benching : 5 sets of 6 with 15 lb dumbells.

Introduction to squatting: Body only - I'm not flexible enough yet.

Hamstring stretching (Good morning)

Bad girl at "250" (didn't feel like 250).

Hip flexor stretching
--Looking for a more formal program to start.

Welcome! If you're looking for beginner programming, try checking out the beginner packet on the general forum stickies.

Hey man! It was nice to meet you at the gym today and I hope to see you there more often. Any questions, just ask any of us.

1) Dead Lifts at 95-135.
2) Inclined Bench, bar only, 7 sets
3) Accessory Work, hip stretch and extended plank

Second day went a lot better than the first. Everything hurts and it feels pretty great. I'm looking forward to improving. To those of you whom I've already met, it was a sincere pleasure. To those of you I will meet, I look forward to that as well.
