Almost didn't train today. Felt crappy, big headache. Left shoulder (not the rehabbing/recently operated on one) was sore and cranky because I slept weirdly on it last night. Was feeling lazy in general. But took three aleve, got my head right and went in to lift and it was good, even though I didn't hit my goal weight and reps today. I bet I'll be good for it on Monday.
Press
Lots of warm-up
45x10, 85x10, 115x8, 145x8, 170x5, [180x7+f, 190x3, 200x1, 165x5] - belt, 135x8
Notes: Though I felt better once I started warming up, I still had a slight headache and my left shoulder didn't feel great. Everything felt GREAT walking out of the rack though, 170 and 180 felt light in my hands, which usually means things will go well. Between everything, I just didn't quite have enough gas to get the 8th rep at 180, but I got a solid 7, then did a few heavier reps just to make myself feel better and got back into the 200 club. I put on my 4" belt today too, for the first time since surgery. If I feel normal Monday, I may go for 185x8 anyway, even though I missed today. I think I'll have it if it's a normal day.
Squat
Lots of stretching during presses
45x5, 95x5, 145x5, 175x5x3
Notes: Back felt MUCH better than Weds. Didn't have to belt for these and they still felt much better. Hoping to be squatting work or near work weights again by next Friday. Might be a little optimistic but we'll see. Didn't take as much warming up to get into low bar position today. Still a lot, but less than it has till now.
Chins
Bwx7x4
BWx6x4 = 52 reps. Then
Narrow Grip Pull-Ups
BWx2x4 = 60 total reps
Bench Press
45x8, 95x5 135x5, 165x5, 185x5, 205x5x2, 185x5
Notes: Felt the best yet today. Still not quite 100%, I'll probably go to 225 Monday then slow to 10 lb jumps so it'll be about 2 more weeks till I hit anything that I would have considered a working weight before. That should be about right, but will adjust by feel as I get closer.
