Less posting, more lifting.

you're a smarmy son-of-a-bitch, i'll be ridiculing you regularly on this log. Good luck.

Luckily, you fit in the category where any support you give is bad, and any ridicule you provide is good.

Tues 11-9-10

Press - 2x5
WU - 45x5, 75x5, 95x3
130 - 5, 5

Chins - BWx10,5,2 - Sucked because the only decent straight bar for chin ups is a smooth squat rack support bar, and I didn't have any chalk. So grip was the biggest issue with these. First time to do them in a month or two as well, which made my biceps a bit unhappy.

Thurs 11-11-10

Press - 1x3-5
WU - 45x5, 75x5, 95x3, 135x2
180 - 2, 2, 2

I let the bar get way out in front on the third rep of the first set, and couldn't recover, so I decided I'd do a couple more sets of doubles.

Press Starts - 3x3
205x3
205x3
205x3

Focused on not dropping the bar too low after each rep. Need to start increasing the weight on subsequent sets.

DL - 1x4-6, 1x8-12
WU - 135x5, 185x3, 225x3, 275x2, 315x1
395 - 4
295 - 12

I wasn't feeling particularly good by the time I got to DLs, and my patellar tendinitis had been really acting up, so I didn't even expect to get this many. Probably could have gotten five, but decided to call it. The back off set went well though. I had no problem this time (because I chalked up), and I wasn't particularly close to passing out like I was the time before. Lower back was a little tight afterwards, but that's not unexpected.

Sun 11-14-10

Press - 3x5
WU - 45x5, 75x5, 95x3, 130x2
167.5 - 4, 5, 4

Unlike others, I do not do very at the gym when I'm hungover. I could have gotten all five of the first set, but my partners were talking and it distracted me.

SLDL - 1x6-8, 1x8-12
WU - 135x5, 185x3
235 - 8
185 - 12

Not particularly easy, and I snapped my knees into a locked position in the middle of one of the reps which was kinda scary...shifted a ton of the force to the tendon at the bottom of the hamstring. But otherwise it wasn't bad. Knocked the back off set out with ease.

Dips - BWx12,5,3
I failed to get more on these not because my triceps were tired, just because I had no energy.

Tues 11-16-10

Press - 2x5
WU - 45x5, 75x5, 95x3
130 - 5, 5

Pull ups - BWx8
Grip was an issue, and I have a pull or something in my anterior delt. I stayed away from these and chins because of it, and was hoping it healed in the past month, but almost immediately started causing problems again. Not as bad as it was originally, but still enough to make me stop after one set and switch to a modified Starr rehab protocol.

DB Rows - 20 - 2x20

Thurs 11-18-10

Press - 1x3-5
WU - 45x5, 75x5, 95x3, 135x2
182.5 - 2, 1

Not making a whole lot of progress on these, so I think I'm going to add back a set on Monday.

Press Starts - 3x3
195x3
205x3
215x3

Didn't have my belt so I was a bit worried about these, but they went fine. Gonna have to stick with 215 as my upper set for a bit.

DL - 1x4-6, 1x8-12
WU - 135x5, 185x3, 225x3, 275x2, 315x1, 365x1
405 - 3
305 - 12

I figured this is what was gonna happen. I initially figured I'd use the reps I got the week before to gauge my recovery (if I got four, I'd stick to the same weight, if I got five it was a good jump, if I got six I could make a slightly bigger jump), and then didn't. I need to up my calories a little more I think, since I haven't upped them a whole lot from before when I was just doing one heavy set of deadlifts a week.

Gonna go ahead and reset on these though.

Sun 11-21-10

Press - 3x5
WU - 45x5, 75x5, 95x3, 130x2
167.5 - 5, 5, 5

These went up without any trouble whatsoever. They were surprisingly easy.

SLDL - 1x6-8, 1x8-12
WU - 135x5, 185x3
235 - 8
195 - 10

I don't have my log on me, so I'll have to check to make sure this is right. Seems like I screwed the weight up somehow.

Dips - BWx14,6,5
These went pretty well.

Tues 11-23-10

Press - 2x5
WU - 45x5, 75x5, 95x3
130 - 5, 5

Chin ups - BWx5
Felt my rear delt acting up on these, so I quit a bit early and did some rows.

DB Rows - 25 - 2x20

On the plus side I got a massage today (11-24). Hopefully it'll help my quads and traps out a bit.
