Training Update November 17, 2012

Decent Training with more PRs.


Monday

Chin-ups 6/5/4

Squat 290 5x5 This bump up in volume was significant. It was hard.

Press 145 3x5

RDL 250 3x5

Wednesday

Chin-ups 6/5/4

Squat 265 2x5 This was a tough "light day." I imagine the volume day isn't recovered yet.

Bench Press 205 3x5 This was actually a little challenging. I felt a little soreness/tightness in my chest towards the end.

Friday

Squat 340x1,3 PR The first rep felt all wrong so I racked the weight (thoracic flexion). The next set was tough enough that without spotters I decided to stop after 3.

Press 150 3x5 I can't seem to get the timing right with the new version of the press. I am going to stick with a strict press style for now and work back up to heavy weights.

Deadlift 405x1, 315x10 rep PR 405 felt way to heavy. It was a bit of a grind. 315 all went up fast a easy. It was kind of fun to do some higher rep stuff

Hammer curls 35 3x10

Been Here is the video of my intensity day squat. It appears I am going too deep on these which makes the really tough.

Tuesday

Chin-ups 6/5/4

Squat 290 5x5 Not as tough as last week (4 min rest between sets)

Bench Press 225 5x5

RDL 250 3x5

Thursday

Chin-ups 5/5/5/5

Squat 275 2x5 squats felt great!

Press 155 3x5

Saturday

Squat 345x5 PR Last week I went too deep which made it really hard. This week I went just below parallel which made a set of 5 easier than last weeks set of 3 (with 5 pounds more weight mind you).

Bench Press 260x5

Deadlift 405x5 Little ugly as far as form goes but I finally made 5 reps at this weight

Hammer curls 35 3x12
