Forgot to mention, I didn't do Roman Chair Sit Ups on Tuesday because trying to do them, for whatever reason, made my SI joint/glute/hip/whatever hurt more than anything else. "Anything else" including squats in excess of 400 lbs. It would hurt quite sharply as I hit parallel with my torso and started to come back up. Adjusting the hip rest bit of the "chair" didn't help. Don't know what the hell is going on, will wait until they next come up and see how it goes. The actual "injury" seems to be getting better in general, however.
Speaking of, paused squats at 465 lbs didn't really cause anything beyond a mild ache and acute, temporary, shortness of breath.
I WAS going to get a video of dat snatch in order to show off on Instagram to the sort of golf-happy rube that thinks a sub-bodyweight snatch is particularly impressive, but my phone's shit camera decided to skip a good 15 frames RIGHT as the pull got to knee level, completely failing to record the entire portion of the lift that looks the coolest AND gives me the most feedback. Awesome.
I decided to do bench press for sets of 8, as its VOLUME WEEK. Because that's successful programming, right? Ben Roethlisberger just improvises nonsense 10 seconds before actually doing it, and he seems pretty on the ball. I have not done normal bench press in a minute, and 225 lbs was PLENTY for sets of 8. There would not have been a ninth rep of the third set.
