It's just semantics really but it's important I think to point out that relative ability and preparation change all the time and if you can use a higher percentage of that ability at any one time without burning out (losing ability) you will make faster progress.

MONSTAH x 2!! Good job on the lifts.

I understand the Press is your favorite lift. If I remember correctly you're getting pretty close to your bodyweight there. That's a great press mate.

Cheers,
Jeff

Squat Day
Cycle 15

Overall Impression:

i havent had much sleep over the last few weeks....good news is that the semester ends in 4-5 weeks http://forum.bodybuilding.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

The Workout:

Overhead Squats
- broomstick x 3 reps x 4 sets
worked on form. i still have a LONG way to go.

Front Squats Squats
- bar x 5 reps
- 135 lbs x 3 reps x 2 sets
- 185 lbs x 1 rep
these hurt my front shoulders but ill hopefully toughen up on them

Deep Squats
- 225 lbs x 2 reps
- 275 lbs x 3 reps x 2 sets
- 275 lbs x 2 reps
these deep squats were pretty hard. i should've nailed 275x3x3 but on the last set after the 2nd rep i lost confidence so i racked it. oh well..next time.

Regular Romanian Deadlifts without lockout
- 135 lbs x 8 reps x 2 sets

Ab Work
- Hanging Leg Raises = 5 lbs x 10 reps x 3 sets
- Front Plate Squats and Bar Roll Outs superset = 25 lbs x 8 reps x 2 sets and 6 reps x 2 sets respectively

Grip Work
- Dumbbell Curls = 40 lbs x 2 reps x 3 sets

Anuj, don't worry about the last rep on the squat you will get it next time. After all you can blame it on lack of sleep!! Good luck and congrats on being so close to finishing the semester. :weights:
