Attempting to go from HirschMAN to HirschMACHINE

T 10/31

Sq: 360x5x4 final set
Inc. B: 187.5x6x3
PCs: 185x3x3 (new 3RM) final set
BW Chins: 8, 5 (8 is a new PR @ BW...small victories, right?)

Sleep wasn't so great the two previous nights before this session, but managed to get through it. I'm also posting the videos of my squat and PC for a form check.

Sat 11/4

PBS: 290x5x3
B: 228x5x3
SLDL: 290x5x3
Prowler: ~ 40 yards x 4 (+90 lbs) - with about 90 seconds rest

Started doing 3 lb jumps on the bench. Weight is still going up smoothly, but the last few reps @ 225 slowed down just enough to switch to smaller jumps. I forgot how much fun prowler work is, so I rewarded myself with an ice bath when I got home.

Tu 11/7

Sq: 365x5x4
Inc. B: 190x6x3
PCs 187.5x3x3
BW Chins: 6,6

Well, this was an interesting training session. There was a light storm in the area while I was at the gym, and as I was getting ready to do my last working set of squats, the gym lost power, and we were kicked out of the facility since the back up generators didn't kick in. Luckily, one of the employees let me finish my last set of squats, with just two flashlights coming out of our phones. It definitely added another layer of difficulty the movement. After that, I scooted over to a nearby gym and finished my workout.

Well, I was home sick this past week from Monday to Wednesday with flu-like symptoms, so I missed my heavy day on Tuesday. I still wasn't feeling 100% on Thursday, so I did a modified medium day:

Th 11/16

Sq: 325x5x3
B: 232.5x5x3
SLDL: 300x8x2
Abs: Floor wipers - 20x2

I'm going to do my light day tomorrow and then do my heavy day on Monday with the same weight from my last heavy day.

Did my light day on Saturday, 11/18

Sq: 295x5x3
P: 156x5x3 new 5RM
DL: 395x4x1 (fail) ... Welp, that would've been a new 5RM. I barely got the fourth rep, and the fifth one wouldn't budge. I'll go fo it again next time, and KILL IT!

Training this week on M/W/F instead of T/Th/S due to the holiday. I repeated my heavy day yesterday, 11/20 since I completely missed it last week

Sq: 365x5x4 Got some videos of all my working sets today 1st set;2nd set;3rd set;4th set
Inc. B: 190x6x2, 190x5 (fail) ... Missed the last rep on the incline bench, don't know what's up with that.
PCs: 187.5x3x3
BW Chins: 6,5

BW is still around 259/260.
