Weight: Scale is still off.


ME Deads
-60kg x 5
-80kg x 4
-100kg x 3
-120kg x 2
-140kg x 1
-160kg x 1,1 (current PR)
-150kg x 2,1,1

Well I managed to pull my PR for 2 singles today so that was pretty sweet. A little bit of progress here. I usually like to be able to hit my PR for 2 or 3 singles before I try a heavier weight. Or at least thats the planned/yet unplanned progression I've been using lately.

Front Squats
-bar x 5
-115lbs x 5
-135lbs x 3
-155lbs x 3
-175lbs x 3
-185lbs x 3
-205lbs x 2

This is the heaviest I've ever gone on front squats. I was thinking it went pretty good for an ME deads day.

DE CG BB Military Press (thats alot of acronyms! lol)
- bar x 5
- 65lbs x 4
- 85lbs x 3
- 95lbs 6x3

I wanted to take it easier on my shoulder for one more day just to make sure its doing ok. Its the next day now and it seems fine so thats good. Probably hit up ME bench on wed and see what happens.

Hanging Leg Raises

I'm not sure what I did for reps on this because I think this might be part of what is hurting my shoulder. We usually do this exercise with the bar placed behind the small of my back for support but that puts alot of pressure on my shoulders. I think I'm going to try and do these with no support while hanging in a hammer grip (elbows bent). It will be a bit more bicep work but I guess thats not a bad thing.

Oblique Work
3x5 - 40lbs,45lbs,50lbs

Thougths

I'm pretty happy with my deadlift progress lately. It seems to be steadily coming up bit by bit.

Also, I'm shooting to be damn near done in my apartment by this weekend so the 4 day split workout may start next week.
