Training Update September 7, 2012

Another good week. Missed my deadlift again but everything else is moving along.

Monday

Squat 270 3x5 paused

Press 150 5x5

RDL 205 3x5

Wednesday

Squat 250 2x5

Bench Press 205 3x5 Very little rest on these. I was feeling really energetic on these.

Barbell Rows 165 3x5

Dips (BW) 14/10/14/14 I didn't rest long enough between the first and second set

Friday

Squat 285x5 Time to put all the pause squatting to work. I am gonna switch my squatting to Texas Method style programming. I figure I'll still be able to do paused squats on volume days (just 3x5 instead of 5x5).

Press 175x4 I planned to do a set of 3 but it went up real easy so I got four. At the end of four I questioned whether I had loaded the bar properly (It was 175 just as prescribed). None of the reps were even grinds. I could have done one more but didn't. I don't know why. Still a new PR.



Deadlift 365 2/1/1 The weight felt really heavy and I felt really weak. I think I wasn't there mentally. I'll give it another shot next week.
