Squats (heavy day)
- bar x 5 (warmup/stretch)
- 135lbs x 4 (warmup)
- 185lbs x 2 (weight acclimation)
- 205lbs x 1 (weight accl)
- 225lbs x 1 (weight accl)
- 245lbs x 1 PR!
- 255lbs x 0, 255lbs x 1, 255lbs x 1 PR! (thats ~1.51 x bw...nice)
- 215lbs 1x4
- 205lbs 1x5

Well, this might need some explaining. I nailed 245lbs and it felt so solid that I moved up another 10lbs. Then I played mind games with myself and failed on 255 for my first attempt. So I rested again and tried again. I got it but my spotter touched me on the way up so I wasn't sure if I could actually call it my own. I was about to just leave it as is but then I got under again and hit it with no spot. Felt so good! I was pretty burnt for the work sets after but still really happy with 2 PRs in one exercise.


Priority Military Press
-bar x 5 (stretch)
-85lbs x 3 (warmup)
-95lbs x 1 (weight accl)
-115lbs x 1 (weight accl)
-135lbs x 1 (PR!)
-105lbs 2x5

Well I got the weight I was lookin for on my first attempt so I didn't try to go any higher. The rep was real slow but it just kept going so I'll take what I can get.


Bench (volume day)
- bar x 8 (warmup/stretch)
-115lbs x 5
-135lbs x 3(weight acclimation)
-155bs x 1 (weight acclimation)
-170lbs 4x8 (this is more then I weigh now~!)

Didn't think I was going to finish since M.Press was so hard today but I barely squeezed on the last rep.


Pendlay Rows

I think we actually forgot to do these today....oops. Oh well, it took long enough as it was.

Pull-Ups

bw + 17.5lbs 2x5, 1x3

I was just absolutely drained by this point... Try again next time.



Accessory Lifts

Calves

180lbs x 8
270lbs x 5
340lbs 3x10

Put these before bench today to give some arm rest after M.Press.

Hamstring Curls

skipped these in favor of time today

Diet

9:30am - 1.5 scoops of whey in 2/3 cup of oatmeal

Thougths

One of the best days I've had in a while. Very draining but definately worth the PRs I made today. Thanks to Eric for suggesting the program to maintain my strength on this cut.
