Wednesday, March 14

Disappointed with tonight's training. Squats were terrible, benches were heavy, and deads were crap.

Squat
70 x 5
80 x 5
90 x 5
100 x 3
110 x 2 (Belt)
120 x 3 (Wrapped attempt to pause them - higher than imaginable)
120 x 2 (Belt)
90 x 8 (Belt)

Bench
50 x 5
60 x 5
70 x 5
75 x 3
70 x 6
70 x 6

Deads(Lbs)
135 x 5
225 x 5 (Bar on blocks from here)
255 x 3
275 (Miss - would not budge).

For the next little while, squats are going to be lower weight for higher reps in wraps.
Deads will be slightly heavier than I'm used to for reps, to try to get more volume.

Wednesday Night Back in the Shed

Things went decently well tonight. Squats weren't great but they weren't horrible. Benches were fine, but I stayed on a red to work on form. Touching really low lately, so that needs to be fixed.  Did some actual work with deads tonight, and I was very, very pleased. With a suit, and a few more months to prepare, 300+ should be there at provincials.

Squat/Bench in Kg's, Deads in lbs.

Squat
70 x 5
80 x 5
90 x 5
100 x 3 (LB)
110 x 2 (Belt)
125 x 3 (Wraps. Had to re-rack after the first one-my wrist was way bent back).
125 x 3

Bench
50 x 5
60 x 5
70 x 5 x 3
80 x 5 (1 Board)
90 x 5 (1 Board)

Deads
135 x 5
225 x 5
255 x 2
275 x 1
295 x 1 (PR) -> Missed on the first try. Tried again, and locked it out. Never would have passed in a meet, but it's a good place to start.
