Wed, 30 Sep 15


Deadlifts: 135x5, 235x5, 275x3, 315x2, 350, 370, 390x9x1

Phew!  Nine reps is a lot.  Needed straps from rep 3 onwards in deadlifts, but used double overhand.

Squat/Bench

Mon,  28 Sept 15
 
Bench: 145x5, 170x5, 190x3, 215x2, 230, 240x9x1
Squats: 135x5, 245x5, 280x5, 315x3, 335x2, 350x9x1 

Once again, no time to row.  Even with this small amount I still went a little over an hour to walk to the gym, change, workout, change and head back to the office.

Deadlifts/OHP

OHP: 95x10, 115x5, 135x3, 145x2, 160, 170x8x1

Took a vacation day. Worked out at home without gear.  Just chalk.  No wraps, belt, shoes, nothing.

Squat/Bench

Wed,  23 Sept 15
 
Squats: 135x5, 245x5, 280x5, 315x3, 335x2, 350x8x1 
Bench: 145x5, 170x5, 190x3, 215x2, 230, 240x8x1

No time to row, and that was with minimal rests.  Like 30 secs to a minute.  Bench was actually 4, 2,1,1.  I'm not terribly worried since I'm getting a lot of back/upper body pull with deadlifts.  The row is really more for balancing out the bench.

Deadlifts/OHP

Wed, 16 Sep 15
 
Deadlifts: 235x5, 275x3, 315x2, 350, 370, 390x7x1
OHP: 95x10, 115x5, 135x3, 145x2, 160, 170x7x1
Curls: 50x10, 70x5, 80x2x5

Used straps for the deadlifts, double overhand.  Hands just felt dry and wasn't getting a good grip. Got distracted showing some newbies how to deadlift a little better.  I was getting stressed watching them bounce and flex their mixed grip at 135.

Bench/Row/Squat

Fri, 18 Sept 15
Bench: 145x5, 170x5, 190x3, 215x2, 230, 240x7x1
Rows:  145x10, 170x5, 190x3, 215x2, 230, 240x7x1
Squats: 135x5, 245x5, 280x5, 315x3, 335x2, 350x7x1 

That was pretty grueling. Squat racks were all being used when I got to the gym, so started with bench and rows.  Finished up with squats.  My back was feeling pretty blown up by the time I was done, and my right hip/glute was pretty tight on the walk back to the office.  I lived to write about it though.

Deadlifts/OHP

Wed, 16 Sep 15
 
Deadlifts: 235x5, 275x3, 315x2, 350, 370, 390x6x1
OHP: 95x10, 115x5, 135x3, 145x2, 160, 170x6x1

Pumps from deadlifts killed my back.  Used straps for the six deadlifts, double overhand.  Hands just felt dry and wasn't getting a good grip.  Anyhow, keep on keeping on.

Squat and row

14 Sep 15
 
Squats: 135x2x5, 245x2x5, 280x5, 315x3, 335x2, 350x6x1
Rows:  145x2x5, 170x5, 190x3, 215x2, 230, 240x6x1
 
The gym was pretty busy today and I couldn't get a bench.  The session did take a long time, but that was mostly getting to the gym, getting changed, etc.  Just wasn't full of piss and vinegar today.  I imagine I can safely skip the 6 rep bench and move on to 7.

Deadlifts/OHP

Thu, 10 Sep 15
Deadlifts: 235x5, 275x3, 315x2, 350, 370, 390x5x1
OHP: 95x5, 115x3, 135x2, 145, 160, 170x5x1
Curls: 50x10, 60x10, 70x3x5

Good session.  Needed straps on last two deadlifts but did them double overhand.  Curls were getting too sloppy so I used the curl bench thingy and did controlled, chest supported ones.

Bench/Squat/Row

Tues, 8 Sept 15
 
Squats: 135x2x5, 245x2x5, 280x5, 315x3, 335x2, 350x5x1
Bench: 145x2x5, 170x5, 190x3, 215x2, 230, 240x5x1
Rows:  145x2x5, 170x5, 190x3, 215x2, 230, 240x5x1
 
Squats felt a little heavy today, but still didn't need the entire 2 mins rest per set.  Was certainly closer to 2 than 1 though.  :)

Good session, heavy but not too bad.  We'll see as the reps go up.  Must start cardio again.

Went well.  Not to say it was too easy, but it was pretty simple.

Deadlifts/OHP

Thu, 3 Sep 15

Curls: 70x10, 80x5, 90x3x5
Deads: 225x5, 295x2, 325, 340, 355, 370x10
OHP: 95x5, 115x3, 135x2, 145, 155, 165x2x5

Same deal as last time except I bumped it up to 10 reps.  I had to clean the OHP off the floor, so I decided to do 2 sets of 5, rather than burn out doing heavy cleans.  It's funny that I was able to clean 165, because I used to top out around 150 back when I actually did them.

I haven't done cardio since last week as I wasn't sure if I broke a bone in my foot or not.  In addition I got a lump on either side of my lower leg, one with a bruise, both with tenderness.  Not sure what happened there because I don't remember smacking it.
