Workout A

bench
- bar x a few (warmup/stretch)
-135lbs x 5 (warmup)
-155lbs x 1 (weight acclimation)
-175lbs 3x5 (work sets)

The bar was greasy and one hand kept sliding out. It seems to have thrown the one side of my lower back out a bit... O well, I finished the sets. Really happy with bench progress. I'm up 40lbs since the start.

Squats
- bar x 6 (warmup/stretch)
- 135lbs x 5 (warmup)
- 185lbs x 2 (weight acclimation)
- 210lbs 2x5, 1x4 (missed the last rep...damnit)

Well I failed for the first time. I've come up 70lbs on this exercise so I guess I can't complain too much but I was dissapointed anyways. I think it may have been because of midterms, I only got to eat about 1/2 as much before the gym as usual. I'm gonna eat like crazy on sunday and monday and try it again. I think I'm close to plateau here. Or at least the 5lbs 3x a week might stop.

Standing Rows
- 115lbs x 5 (warmup)
- 145lbs 3x5 (working sets)

Felt heavy cause of my lower back being so burnt out but I finished them without too much trouble.

Accessory Lifts

Dips
bw+5lbs - 3x10

The narrow grip is definately much harder but my buddy says my depth has increased nicely so I'm gonna keep up the 5lb increases till it gets too hard then back to 2.5lbs.


Cable Ab pull down

Missed these today. The cable things are always real hard to get onto at my gym.

Side bends

- 40lbs x 8 (warmup)
- 55lbs 3x10

These are different but I'm definately gonna feel em tomorrow. I think I might start doing both ab exercises after this workout.
