Icon1 spiral's log (strength/power/cardio)

Ok I thought maybe it's time I start a log here.

Age: 25
Weight: 170 lb
Height: 70,9 inch

Lifting history: started 2 years ago, basically did only bench and pull-ups until I found this forum. Couldn't lift much last year because of my job. Now that I bought a squat rack, I started lifting again, this time with proper lifts. I rely mainly on "Starting strength" and on the forum.

Purpose: strength and power for judo ; grip strength for gi holding ; also getting weight to the top limit of my weigth division (81kg) without too much fat.

Current goals: squat, deadlift and bench 100kg (220lb). When I'll get there, start again
Current PR: squat 5x141lb, deadlift 5x141lb, bench 5x180lb
I know it's weak, but as I'm gradually increasing the weight by 2kg steps, it might take time before I find my actual PR. I prefer to start slow and make sure I keep good form. (also used to bench a lot more, in my curl monkeys days ^^)

Routine : currently I cycle 4 kind of workout sessions:

Strength day A:
-Squat 5x5
-Bench 5x5
-BOR 5x5
-weighted dips 5x5
-CoC 5x5

Strength day B:
-Deadlift 5x5
-OHP 5x5
-Turkish get-up 5x5
-weighted pull-ups 5x5
-CoC 5x5

Gas day A :
-50/20 with a "clean + front squat + OHP" complex
-interval burpees

Gas day B :
-50/20 with a "DB snatch + turkish get-up" complex
-interval burpees

I try to have at least 2 "strength days" in a week; whenever I can, I add a third.
I try to have at least 1 "gaz day" in a week; whenever I can, I add a second.
And this is my routine... plus a lot of boring running with my job (Army).

Thanks for any comment, remark, support, insult...

Long time no post, since I'm abroad and without access to the net most of the time. Here are the latest:

18/06/08

SQUAT 5x5x80kg (176lb)
BENCH 5x5x85kg (187lb)
TGU 4x5x31kg (68lb)

20/06/08

DEAD 5x5x100kg (220lb)
OHP 5x5x56kg (123lb)
PULL-UPS 5x5x16kg (35lb)

So I finally broke the 100kg limit on my deadlift. I know it's feeble for most of you guys, but for it's a symbol for me metric-counting-european ^^
