Perpendicular to the Surface of the Earth

Preworkout:

Instagram: “I was getting bored at this fall festival”

Squats - 4 sets of 5 (ugh)	345 x 5 345 x 5 345 x 5 345 x 5
Sumo deadlifts (WHAT?)	315 x 5 315 x 5 365 x 4 315 x 5
Back extensions	bw x 10 25 lb plate x 10 35 x 10 45 x 10 45 x 10
Leg raises	x 10 x 3

Sumo deadlifts are fun. They're weird. They drag and rip the leg hairs right out of your inner thighs, WTF. They make my hip joints feel like I'm being drawn and quartered.

But they are fun.

Instagram: “First time doing ���� deadlifts. They're kinda fun but your wrists drag the leg hairs right off your thighs. I guess that's why women do em?…”

I'm just looking at those bare feet uncomfortably close to those heavy weights coming down. Sure, there's no real chance you'll crush your feet, but I like big margins for error.

I PR'd my close grip bench. At 250. My regular bench PR is currently....255. (Well, it was 255 for three sets of two, so I'm guessing my e1RM is a bit higher.

Close grip bench press	225 x 2 250 x 1 (cgbp PR, video) 225 x 3 225 x 3 205 x 7
Incline dumbbell press	55 x 10 75 x 8 85 x ....I don't think I could get these into position 75 x 8 65 x 12
Barbell rows	275 x 10 315 x uhhh 7 275 x 10 x 2
Shrugs	315 x 15 x 3
LTEs	85 x 10 90 x 10 85 x 10

It's really hard to leg curl (face down, with the hamstring as the primary mover) but it's really easy to leg extend (sitting, quad primary). That seems weird. Am I just built to kick people really hard?

I wanted to do a cool video of my 10 set deadlifts. I forgot to hit 'record.' Tragic.

Deadlift 10x3, 60 sec rests	315 x 3 x 10 sets. Or 11. Lost count so did another.
Back squat	225 x 10 x 3
Lying (or is it laying) leg curls	95 x 15 115 x 14 95 x 15
Leg extensions	135 x 15 185 x 15 185 x 15

PR on the pin squat if we're counting those

I got off balance at the bottom trying to pin squat 365, it's kinda funny: instagram

Pin squats at ~parallel max then doubles	405 x 1 350 x 2 350 x 2 350 x 2
RDLS	225 x 10 x 3
Goblet squats	45 x 20 75 x 20 75 x 20

[ithryn]

This was the actual pin squats. Lots of elbow-wiggling going on, I need to work on that.
Christopher Doherty on Instagram: “Pin #squats 405x1, then 350x2 for 3 sets #pinsquats😑 #pinsquats👌 #pinsquats😷😷😷😷just #actualhashtags”

[ithryn]

I did work out, just didn't log here. Here's what I've done recently:

_____
Floor press:
- 255 x 1, 230 x 3 x 3
Floor press amrap:
- 150 x10, x12, x8
Dumbbell rows, cable pressdown, side delt raises

(I think my bench PR is still 255. But now my close grip bench max is 255. And my floor press is 255. Guessing I should probably retest a regular bench PR soon.)

_____
Paused squats:
- 275 x 3 reps, 8 sets, 60 second rests (I died.)
Sumo deadlift:
- 315 x 3 reps, 8 sets, 60 sec rests (surprisingly wasn't too bad, quite invigorating actually)

_____
Paused bench:
- 200 x 3 reps, 10 sets, 60 sec rests
Press 135 x 5 x 5
chinups: 50 total reps. PR: I got one set of ten in there!
dips, shrugs

That brings us to yesterday:

Monday 1 October 2018

I got hit by a Mack truck:

2" deficit deadlifts	425 x 1 PR 385 x 2 385 x 2 (no straps on these tyvm) 315 x 6 x 3 sets (strapped)
High bar back squat (desc sets)	315 x 10 (PR) 225 x 10 185 x 10

[Ben Baker]

425 2" deficit pull?? Holy shit bro, that's awesome!

[ithryn]

Haha thanks sir. It felt good.
