Today sucked. Big time. My cutting diet is doing exactly that...cutting my strength! Gah!

Bench
- bar x 6 (warmup/stretch)
-145lbs x 5 (warmup)
-165lbs x 3(weight acclimation)
-185lbs x 1 (weight acclimation)
-205lbs 1x3,1x1
-185lbs x 1

I had a good sleep last night I my body just wouldn't do it... Very angry about this. I've actually gone backwards...

Squats
- bar x 5 (warmup/stretch)
- 135lbs x 5 (warmup)
- 185lbs x 3 (weight acclimation)
- 205lbs x 1 (weight acclimation)
- 230lbs 1x3,1,1
-185lbs x 6

Failed on both of the big exercises. Just about lost it here.

Pendlay Rows
-20kg x 5 (stretch)
-35kg 2x5 (warmup)
-55kg 3x5

I was just going for form today and working on the explosiveness of the movement. I was also trying to maintain that arch in my back as well as pinch the scapula at the top. Felt much better.

Accessory Work

Calf Raises

180lbs x 8 (warmup)
270lbs x 6
315lbs 3x10


Pull-Ups

BW+5lbs 3x5

Hard after rows but at least I'm doing the right exercise now.

Glute/Hamstring curl

It was crazy busy in the gym so I skipped this since I had to get to class...and you know it doesn't hurt my feelings at all...lol
