It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I am indeed made of glass. Damn you! Damn you all to hell!
Press - belt + wraps
240x3x3 @8,9,8
Notes: Still a little arm fatigue from Friday's PR bench and volume PR press, but these still moved really well. Didn't get tight and locked in for the second set but the third was solid again. Next week I'll go for a PR double, 255-265, depending on how warm-ups feel.
Third set of 240x3 on IG
Bench Press - belt
340x5x5 @6.5, 7, 7, 7, then suddenly 8.5 for the last set
Notes: Higher RPE on the last set is because I think I cut off my rest too early. I wasn't monitoring it closely today, but I think I took about 5 mins for the previous sets and only about 3 mins for the last. These moved really well. They FELT like @9s but moved like @7s. I first did 335x5x5 in summer of 2014. I equaled it again about two years ago in winter of 2015. Finally getting past it feels vera nahce.
Squat - Belt, wraps for thumbs around
135x5, 225x5, 275x5, 325x5, 365x5 - all fine
405x2 - dinged!
Notes: 405 was fast and easy but once again being dinged my back at the bottom. Can't tell yet how bad, but I guess I wasn't ready yet. I could probably not squat from now till April 2nd and make 500-525 at the meet. But DAMMIT.
Deadlift
It felt very minor at first so began to DL: 135x5, 225x3, 315x3, 365x2 - started feeling not good here to cut it. DAMMIT.
Ring Rows
BWx10x6
LTEs
92x10
107x9,10
Notes: Just miscounted on the first set here. Caught it on the video. NBD.
I filmed these in case some people want to see an example of the SS style LTE. Last set of 107x10 here.
