Bring forth the DOMS

It's not too bad, so far, but the day ain't over yet.

[Chad Mynhier]

welcome back! hope you had nice weather

Actually, it was pretty hot the whole time. Fortunately, east Tennessee has a few hills and hollers where it's a little cooler. It helps to be wading in a creek that's pretty close to 55 degrees.

Well, the DOMS turned out not to be too bad. Definitely some in the adductors and a little in the quads, but not to the point I was groaning every time I stood up.

Ii didn't think rep 5 was going to go up after the fourth rep of the first set. After getting all my reps on the other two sets, I kinda wish I'd at least given it a try.

Squats:
325x5

325x5

There was definitely a bit of good morning to the last rep.

Press:

So I did 4/5/5 last time and 5/4/4 this time. Can I combine them and claim a full 3x5?

I've been doing a mini-LP to get my squats back up after my vacation. I'll go back to regular programming next week.

it wasn't that bad. how much time are you resting between sets?

[Chad Mynhier]

Yeah, the good morning isn't that apparent in the video, but trust me, I was feeling it in my lower back Saturday morning. And Saturday afternoon. And Sunday morning.

I rested 8 minutes between these sets. Working out in a home gym has its benefits -- nobody asking me if I was done with the squat rack.

205x8
205x8
205x7+f

It's been a month since I last did bench press, but I tried the next weight in the progression. And I would have gotten it, too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!

Seated press:
105x5x5

Squats:
355x1
355x1
355x1

I did three days of pretty heavy sets of 5 last week, including my heaviest on Friday, so I decided to start off my 5's/3's/1's cycle with 1's.

I lost balance a bit on the last one, so it's kind of ugly.
