Monday 5/16/16

pin squat: 3x1x325

bench:
5x248
3x281
1x315
3x5x266

Turns out, on my supposedly terrible bench day last week I idiotically tried to do 3x5x85% instead of 80%. 266 was much more possible.

This'll cure it.

2x0x415 (Grrr!)
1x350 (Grrrrr-er!)
3x5x350 (A for effort here)

rdl: 2x8x320

What a mess. I was feeling great through the triple, then totally screwed the pooch twice on the top end. Never even got to try for a joker. Then I whanged into the pin on the second backoff rep and screwed that up.

Disgust and rage took over. I punished myself by doing all the backoffs anyway.

I think my back angle was a little too vertical on some of the squats, so I tried to work on that with the backoff sets. One of those days, I guess.

pin squats: 3x5x290 (went up 5 lbs.)

bench:
5x215
5x248
5x281 (moving again at last)

Sunday 5/29/16

squats:
5x285
5x325
5x370
3x5x350 backoff

rdl: 2x8x325 (belted this time)

I got 5 instead of 6 at the top this time, but depth and form was much better than last cycle.

Tuesday 5/31/16

press:
3x162
3x185
2x208 (miss, but rep p.r. all the same)
3x5x185

chins: 10/10/10/8/9/3

Still fairly tired from squats. 2 lbs. jump on all the triples and 1 lb. higher on the backoffs. Not too bad considering.

3x155
3x175
2x185
1x195

3x465 (strong effort on 3rd)
5x410 (80% backoff)

rows: 2x8x290

I've started reversing grip on the backoff deadlift set, so I went ahead and bumped it up 15 lbs. to a full 80%.

Tuesday 6/6/2016

pin squat: 3x3x305

bench:
3x231
3x264
missed 297 entirely & stopped

We had a minor family emergency over the past few days and I slept very little for 2 nights. This night was a total waste on bench, but I'll sleep as much as possible and hope the single is still there next week. If so, I'll progress the weight next cycle.

-------------------------
Wednesday 6/8/16

Make-ups:
bench warmup: 1x225, 250, 275
2x297 (almost 3)
5x264, 267, 267

I felt better today so I made up the volume I missed last night.
