    After running on Tuesday DOM's set in pretty good. Guess that's what happens when your not that young anymore and miss a week. Even with the missed week of running I still was able to improve, just with soreness that normally is not there. I was still sore when I went to bed last night and squats suffered today as a result. I knew during warmups this morning that I was not recovered enough to do my workout as planned, so I did the same weight but as 3X5 instead of 3XAMRAP. The next few weeks will tell the story but it may be getting to the point where I have to do a heavy/medium instead of heavy/heavy for squats.

    So it would look like this.
    Monday: Heavy Squats
    Thursday: Medium Squat & Deadlift



    Shoulder Stretches

    Squat 265X5X3 Not recovered enough to do my standard 3RG25 (three sets that total 25 reps). My quads and groin were still sore and even the warmup sets felt heavy.

    Bench Press RG20 45X5, 95X5, 135X5, 165X18, 16

    One Arm DB Row RG15 110#X15 L&R Made the rep goal of 15 so I'll move to 115# next week.

    Kettlebell Press RG15 20#X10 L&R, 45#X10X2 L&R

    Deadlift RG8 135X5, 225X5, 315X1, 360X1, 330X8 Made the rep goal of 8 today so add 5# next week. We are into lifetime PR territory here for both 360X1 and 330X8.

    Chins +25# X 8, 7.5

    Squat 270X5X3

    One Arm DB Row RG15 115X15 L&R

    I have been dividing up my workout. Deads are done at lunch time because I need a couple of hours to recuperate after squatting. But, this week things didn't go as planned. The floors in the gym were waxed and had to dry before they could be walked across. As a result I couldn't get into the gym until Friday at lunch. I would have finished the workout at home Thursday night but the weights in the gym don't agree with my weights the loading can be 10 pounds different then what is stated! I wanted to use the gym since I marked all of the weights and can get an exact loading or at least the same weight every time.

    Squat 4X5 270X3, 250X5X3 Should have been 4X5 at 270 but I had no gas and was still very fatigued from deadlifting last Friday. Not getting them done on Thursday made a big difference as I am already walking a very thin line with lower body recovery. Any little bump in the road and it doesn't happen.

    Squat 275X5X3 Much better then Monday! I felt good and fully recovered. There was one other person in the gym today and he had all of the 10# weights, there are only 4 of them. Today should have been 270# but since the 10's were gone and I didn't feel like using a ton of 5's I just threw a pair of 25's on and went with 275. The last rep of the last set was a grinder but it really shows the difference that being recovered makes.

    Bench Press RG15 180(14,12,11)

    One Arm DB Row RG15 120X11 L&R

    Lunch Time

    Deadlift RG8 135X5, 225X5, 315X1, 390X1, 340X8 Deadlifts have been moving along nicely and 405 is just a few weeks away! The heavy singles that I have been doing are just that, heavy singles. They are not 1rm's. Bar speed was good, even though the singles are very hard they are not grinders.

    Moved running to Friday in order to get some blood flowing and help with recovery from Thursdays workout. Running was quite difficult after squats and deads the day before!
