Terrible, crappy session.

Sun, 25 May 14

Squats: 45x10, 135x5, 185x5, 235x5, 265x10, 225x10.

Chins: 5,5,5,5

Just felt like garbage. No energy. No strength.  Completely out of breath at the 265, exhausted after the 225x10.

Too fat for chins.  Well, except the ones on my face.

Grrrrrr.....

Whole lotta benching.

Thu, 22 May 14

Bench: 45x10, 135x10, 165x10x10. (=60% of 1RM)

A little GVT inspired work today.  Light and pumpy to help with my shoulder.  Should be interesting on squat day - I estimate 245x10x10.

Deadlifts

Wed, 14 May 14

Deadlifts (3.5" deficit): 135x5, 225x5, 315x5
Deadlifts (normal) 345x3, 365x8x2

Phew! That was hard. Tried a 345 deficit, but couldn't get past my shins.  Moved the boards, got myself together, and continued.  Wore my belt loose for the full out lifts. I can still get the full sensation of pushing against it, even though there's not a lot of pressure from it.

Big session

Sun, 21 May 14

Anderson squats: 135x10, 225x10, 295x10, 345x10
Bench: 135x10, 185x10, 215x10, 225x3x10
Curls: 45x2x30

Squats were heavy., but that's the point. Got stars at 395 so I stopped. Bench was good, last two reps of the last set were slower, but didn't hitch.

Curls up to 30 reps, keeping the tendonitis away.

Squats

Sat, 3 May 14

Squats: 135x10, 185x5, 225x5, 275x5x5

Worked my way up to what felt heavy while maintaining an upright torso.  Belt really loose as there's still too much fat in my old hernia area - belt was causing the newly formed fat to tear the scar tissue.  My power pants and erector shirt arrived but they're too tight (even using my proper measurements) and I'll have to send them back for something two sizes larger.
