Weighed in at 174-174.5lbs so thats ~1.5-2.0lbs down from last sunday. Still on track, nice.
Changing up the program a little starting today. Bench and squats are gonna get alternated on volume day, and heavy day.
I'm also starting a deload so things might look a little light but I'm gonna work back up...and hopefully over?
Squats (heavy day)
- bar x 5 (warmup/stretch)
- 135lbs x 5 (warmup)
- 165lbs x 3 (weight acclimation)
- 185lbs x 1 (weight acclimation)
- 205lbs 3x5
Finally I can feel good about finishing a squat set again!
Bench (volume day)
- bar x 8 (warmup/stretch)
-115lbs x 6 (warmup)
-135lbs x 4(weight acclimation)
-145bs x 2 (weight acclimation)
-155lbs 4x8
Didn't really know where to start for this but after completing this, I think this will work fine.
Pendlay Rows
- bar x 5 (stretch)
- 35kg x 5 (warmup)
- 50kg x 3 (warmup)
- 57.5kg 3x5
Still workin on the speed of the movement and its feeling alot better with the lower weight.
Accessory Lifts
Dips
bw + 35lbs - 1x10,1x9,1x7
A little too heavy. I think it was the volume training on bench that tired me out. Oh well, I'll hit it again on thursday.
Cable Ab pull down
-140lbs x6 (warmup)
-175lbs 1x10,1x9,1x7 (work sets)
Couldn't do er...I seem to have been stuck at this weight for quite some time. Not too sure what to do.
Side bends
- 80lbs 3x10
Was still sore from thursday so I held back and dropped the weight. Glad I did.
