General training and preparation log

[Rusty9]

Ok so today was my first day back to a full body routine. Im now convinced that the bench press aids the press.

Squats:
205x3x5 (easy)

Once I got to my warm up weight of 135 on the squats I tried to press it and did so quite easily. I am pretty sure I could have pressed 10-15 pounds more.
Press:
115x3x5 (easy)

Cleans:
155x5x3
On the last rep of each set I jerked the weight as well. I didn't want to jerk it everytime and not be able to complete the sets. I probably could have but did not want to risk it.

So I did a buttload of warmup sets for both the squat and the cleans. I really want to get my form ironed back out. I am expecting that I will probably be sore as hell tomorrow.

Today was a little tougher all around. I think it was just one of those days that if I had tried to hit a new high I would have failed. moving on.

Squats:
215x3x5

Bench:
165x5
175x5
185x5
I did it like this just so as to give my chest a break. I really want to go for a 1rm next Tuesday and see what I can do.

DL: (doh)
255x5
these were pretty hard. I can tell I have a long way to go to get to where I want to go with my training and that I need to make sure I am buckling down watching my food and water intake.
My quad started aching after my second set of squats. I just finished the last set cause it was like a cramp more than a strain or any other sort of issue. Feels fine now.

I must have some sort of quad strain from last time. As soon as I got to 185 I felt it acting up again. I decided to do an extra warmup with 205 still hurt. Only did one work set. I will probably just work up to 135 for the next two workouts do a little higher reps like 10 for 2 sets or something to try and get it to heal faster. Lots of water and food. I notice for me their seems to be a larger correlation between my fluid intake and my lifting ability than my food intake. No cleans because I didnt want to aggrevate the quad issue too much. I may do some work with 95 pounds just so I can work on the movement a little.

Squat:
225x5 (painful)

Press:
120x3x5 (easy peezy)
