Last Friday sucked. I made a mistake of eating a big, greasy, spicy meal shortly before working out. Since I have acid reflux disease my stomach felt like it was going to explode. Friday was a good reminder of how it is a very stupid idea to move around hundreds of pounds when your stomach feels like exploding. I thought I was going to barf after each reps of my squats. Somehow I managed to get through them and my sets of presses. The power clean had way too much movement though. I didn’t vomit, but had I subjected myself to one more work set I most certainly would have. The weight didn’t feel too heavy though so I will give 115 lbs a go for my next power clean workout.

Today I got through my workout pretty easily except for the fact that my lower back was sore during squatting. Looking back I think this may be because I was hyperextending my lower back to show my new workout partner how to keep his back in extension. (He has the problem of rounding his back during squats and deadlifts). I’ll just try not to overexaggerate it next time and keep my abs tight. My lower back feels fine right now so I guess no harm no foul. My bench also finally seems to be a challenge. The 5th rep of the 3rd set felt a bit tough. I’ll go back to 5 lb jumps next time. As for my deadlift I had to do the work set twice. I used a double overhand grip the first time and lost the bar midway in the 3rd rep. I decided to switch to the alternate grip and managed to get 5 reps out without any grip problems. I guess that means I did 7 ½ reps of my work set weight for my deadlift today.
