Wednesday:
[5x5] Front Squats: 225
[5x5] Standing Military Press: 205
[1x5] Deadlifts: 365, 385, 385, 395, 405
[3x5] Weighted Pullups: bw + 30
[2x8] Pulldowns: 300 (stack)
-After each exercise per bodypart, I'll do a loaded (DC) fascia stretch
- I was pressed for time today because I woke up late. The front squats were easy, but the OHP's seemed to take forever. Of course, this matches my old 5x5 max, but I needed around 3 minutes between sets to catch my breath. The final two reps of the last two sets were more like push presses, but it wasn't that bad at all..Just a slight dip in the knees. Deadlifts today were a little crazy. I figured, what the fuck..It's the PR week so I'll just pyramid up to a max set of 5 vs. keeping the weight at 385. I used a belt with the 405x5..Mostly because I was lazy.
I kinda wished I reversed the order earlier with deads and pullups. For pullups, I only had about 5 minutes before I absolutely had to leave, so I did a few sets of 5, then ran over to the pulldown machine and busted out 2 sets of 8 with the stack (300 lbs.)...I thought to myself,
Wow..Judging by that, my grip strength and pulling power at least doubled with this program..
