Caveman's Log

[caveman89]

Got my reps in on the squat, but the last few on each set got a little sloppy. Broke through my first bench stall at 170, but the deadlift was a different story...

I was supposed to do 265 again on deadlift (this is the weight I stalled on last time) and got four, and couldn't pull number five. So I got mad and cussed and stomped on the bar and took some deep breaths and made myself lift the weight again and got it lol. I guess that doesn't really count as five, so I guess I'll do the same weight next time and not pussy out on that fifth rep. I'll probably also cut down my increments to 5 lb jumps too.

Workout A:
Squat: 265 x 5, 5, 5
Bench: 170 x 5, 5, 5
Deadlift: 265 x 4, 1

good stuff, the gains will keep coming!

Nice work! You'll hit some weights where you will not get all the reps and then you'll have periods when everything goes as planned. It's all part of the game. You may need just to eat a bit more, or get a bit more rest, and then you'll have another run of PRs. LP is a marvelous thing, so enjoy it while you're on the run.

Today's workout wasn't very good I'm embarassed to post it but oh well. My only excuse is not enough rest and too much drinking this weekend lol

Workout B:
Squat: 270 x 5, 3, 1
Press: 107.5 x 5, 5, 5
Power Clean: 140 x 3, 3, 2, 2, 1

[Mr. Bingley]

hahaha, yep welcome to the club!

So I've been real busy with work this past week and only (finally) got in the gym Saturday...

Workout A:
Squat: 270 x 2, 2, 225 x 10
Bench: 175 x 3, 0, 135 x 15
Deadlift: 265 x 5

I didn't hit my reps on squat and bench and so just repped out 225 and 135 respectively on the last set rather than get crushed again. I'll de-load the Squat about 10% and try for the bench again next time. Oh and I'll try to get my three workouts in this week!

I hit the gym today and deloaded on my squats and power cleans. Hoping to get past my first stalls in the next few weeks on those and getting close to where I stalled on the press (115)...

Workout B:
Squat: 225 x 5, 5, 5
Press: 110 x 5, 5, 5
Power Clean: 115 x 3, 3, 3, 3, 3

Today's workout:

Workout A:
Squat: 230 x 5, 5, 5
Bench: 3, 3, 2
Deadlift: 270 x 5

Good luck with the reset, Caveman. Be sure to eat a lot and get your rest!

So today when I was doing squats and put the 2 45 lb plates on each side for my first set then I put the 5 lb plate on only the right side and forgot it on the left haha so I didn't count that set. The one time I forget to check if they're even of course! I didn't get all 5 on my last set of presses I only got 4 and struggled like hell to get number 5 but it just didn't come!

Workout B:
Squat: 235 x 5, 5, 5
Press: 112.5 x 5, 5, 4
Power Cleans: 117.5 x 3, 3, 3, 3, 3
