Thursday 3/19/15

Press 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 2x185, 1x205, 2x205
Bench 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 2x185, 2x225, 4x3x265
Curls 5x45, 10x95, 2x10x105

What?? Last time, I got two triples at 205. Now I'm getting a single and a double?? What is going on here? Bench felt better, but 265 still felt harder than it should have. On the plus side (I guess) the curls were easy!

Saturday 3/21/15

Squat 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 2x185, 2x225, 1x275, 2/1x315
Deadlift 5x135, 3x225, 5x315
Chins 6/6/6/5/5

Everything was unremarkable - except the fact that these were all pain-free!! Woo hoo!

Monday 3/23/15

Bench 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 2x185, 2x225, 1x275, 2/1x300
Press 5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 5x5x180

This would be a 2RM PR. I waited 5 minutes before the second set - maybe that was not enough time. My 1RM PR is currently 305. Would be really nice to at least get that for a double next week. Press is going very well on the volume side of things (whish the same was true on the intensity side). In either case, I'm pretty happy with this.

Tuesday 3/24/15

Squat 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 2x185, 1x225, 3x3x265
Deadlift 5x135, 3x225, 3x3x275
Dips 5xBW, 3x10x25

I'm thinking these medium days are still too light. I went up 20lbs on the squat from last time, but I have a feeling I should be working harder. I'll continue to tune.

Saturday 3/28/15

Squat 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 2x185, 2x225, 1x275, 2x2x315
Deadlift 5x135, 3x225, 1x315, 5x335
Chins 6/6/6/5/5

Still going well and pain free. I think I had one more squat in me, but I am still a little scared to push it. I know I had a few more deadlifts, but I didn't want to push those either. It was still hard enough.

Nice. Very nice, indeed. Your pressing is really moving up. A two wheel double is possible fairly soon. There aren't many in these parts who can do this.

[FuriousE]

Thank you, Bob!! A two wheel single is my near term goal, and is just about 3 lbs over body weight. I would be thrilled with a double.

Monday 3/30/15

Bench 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 2x185, 2x225, 1x275, 1x305
Press 5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 5/5/5/5/4x185

A little disappointed with bench - 305 was my 1RM PR going into today. I went for a double, and almost got there, but didn't. I went for a second set, and did something unracking it, so I didn't even attempt. I re-racked and moved on. Not sure if I'll hit my 315 goal or not this cycle. Press was better! Pretty happy with almost a 5x5 at 185. I'll hit 185 again next week then start microloading it.

Tuesday 3/31/15

Squat 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 1x225, 4x2x285
Deadlift 5x135, 3x225, 4x2x315

Significantly increased the deadlift weight. Probably should have done the same with squat. Either way, no time for dips today. Will try to hit them tonight. Probably not a good idea to do them tomorrow, as I don't want them to interfere with press on Thursday.
