Tuesday: Full Body

Olympic Squats: 5x5
Flat Bench: 5x5
JS Rows: 5x5
Skullcrushers: 3x8-10

-Today was pretty f'ing difficult to say the least. I forgot how draining it was. Well, as I've said, today was my day for finding where I'm at and what the weights will be for each week. I'm surprised to say that I've gotten slightly weaker from my last run-through (only bench). But, that'll change with progression through the program.

Here's what I did today:

Olympic Squats: (255) 5x5
Flat Bench: (285) 5x5
JS Rows: (275) 5x5
Skullcrushers: (70) 3x8-10

-A2G squats: Felt great. This weight is what I'm going to use in week 3, then add another 10 lbs for week 4. This has actually increased from my first run through.
-Flat Bench: Good grief. I felt pretty shitty. My last run in September was 305 for my final 5x5's in week 4. Not this time. I absolutely must stay true to myself so I don't die trying to lift the same poundage as 5x5 #1. I'm quite positive the loss of strength is from doing the bodybuilder type workouts for the past few months: ie. increased TUT, supersets, cosmetic work. My only problem is that after a few weeks of this, the 295 might be too easy for that final week. Still, this is what I'll stick with for now.
-JS Rows: Also was good to go. I did 275 with perfect form, dynamic. My back didn't pick up at all. Still, hard as hell after squats on my hams. So, this will be my week 3 weight, then I'll break it for my week 4. This is another lift that I surpassed in strength (like squats) from my first run.
