Carnivroar's log

[Carnivroar]

Some dude was quarter squatting at MY () power rack today so I started with bench.

Bench 3x5
135 155 175

Squats 5x5
135 185 225 255 275
yesss

Clean 3x3
135
these sucked balls.

[Carnivroar]

Wow, no back pain/tightness at all today. I guess my new hobby, biking, is really helping with hip mobility as I had hoped.

I'm not sure if I should continue squatting heavy 3 times a week or if I should throw in a light day with front squats... the latter option would allow me to go heavier on deadlifts, so I'm really considering it. We'll see tomorrow.

Wow I gained about 15 pounds since I started this log... only 20 days ago.

YESSS!!! I was so fucking happy, man.
I was eating a bunch of chocolate chip cookies between sets, I bet that helped.

Bench 3x5

Only got 3 reps
then I did 135 x 8

Weighted plans 45 lbs x 3
about 20-30 seconds each set

Some random pull ups.

Got my creatine on the mail yesterday...

Here are my goals for today:

Squat 285
Press 130

We'll see if I'll make it.

[Carnivroar]

I'm back!

Squats 5x5
135 185 225 255 285
Did it motherfuckers!

Press 3x5
95 115 125
good. I didn't bother going for 130 because I know that's too ambitious, so I left it there.
Used the "start reps from the top" technique. It's actually harder, but I like it!

Some pull ups.
I would have done more, but I was in a hurry to catch the next train, as the following one would come an hour later.

I started taking creatine yesterday and I can already feel the difference! pedaling my bike uphill was a breeze!

[Carnivroar]

My first DEADLIFT day.

Warm up with 1 plate, then 2 plates, then 2 plates and a quarter.

Work set:

Conventional DL: 3x3
315 lbs

Sumo DL: 3x1

New 1RM. This was so fucking tough.
I attempted 365 but it didn't even leave the ground lol.

I think my form was great. No back pain whatsoever.
