Well I drank pretty heavily last night...again...but I decided I couldn't skip the gym due to drinking. That just aint right. So I convinced my buddy to get up and move. Turned out to be a really solid day. Read on.

Bench (max test)
- bar x 6
-135lbs x 5
-165lbs x 3
-185bs x 2
-205lbs x 1
-225lbs x 1
-235lbs x 1 (10lb PR!)
-245lbs x 0

Well I was fricken stoked about 235lbs and I probably could do 240 or 245lbs if I had warmed up differently. I hit a brick wall at 245lbs though. Arms completely died out. Basically had enough energy to lower it down safely and that was that. Partner had to help out lots. Oh well. For another day. Still happy with my PR.


Squats (pre max test work)
- bar x 5
- 135lbs x 5
- 185lbs x 3
- 205lbs x 2
- 225lbs x 2
- 235lbs x 2
- 245lbs x 2
- 255lbs x 1

Working up to a heavy double. 255lbs is my old max so it looks like I should be somewhat stronger for my max test day. Yay. Also of importance to note: I am getting alot better at keeping my back arch. I really felt it in the quads today instead of so much in the back. I have been fighting the rounding off of my back at the very bottom. I think I'm slowly getting better which is great. Tight hamstrings are the culprit I believe.


DB M. Press
bar x 5
65lbs x 3
85lbs x 2
100lbs 5x5

Solid. We're going to cut DB M press and just hammer through with a 5x5 then 3x3. Hopefully we can make some serious progress.

Hanging Leg Raises

bw x12,12,9

Really hit a wall at the end. Oh well. One more rep then last time.

Obliques - Pallof Press
50lbs 3x10

Been playing around with holding my shoulders back which is much better I think.

Well considering how I was feeling when I went into the gym, I'm very happy with the results today. Lookin forward to max test for squats. Also looking forward to cycling back the weight on bench and squats...need a deload right now! lol
