Attempting to go from HirschMAN to HirschMACHINE

[Ryan Hirschman]

Sets of 8 are conditioning bro

I stand corrected; I should have said, "I didn't have time for prowler work".

Inc. B: 190x6x3

Having trouble keeping my wrists straight on the squats; they go into extension as I descend. I need to re-evaluate my grip width.

PBS: 305x5x3
B: 238x5x3 PR
SLDL: 305x5x3

Good training session today; glad I hit the bench PR. I think it's time to increase my upper body volume.

Haven't updated my log all week... what a slacker...

T 12/5

Sq: 375x5, 3(fail); did descending 5s for another 3 sets: 355x5; 335x5; 315x5
I wasn't feeling too great today, and although the first set went up, I was going for four sets of 5 across. I'm going to switch to top set of 5 plus 4 back-off sets starting next heavy workout.
Inc. B: 192.5x4 (fail); did 155x8x2 afterwards to get some work in
I was going for 3 sets of 6 here, but failed on my first set. I definitely shouldn't be failing on this exercise yet, so I'm going to back the weight off a little bit and do sets of 8
PCs: 192.5x3x2, 2; missed the first rep of my third set, but got the last two reps in.
I'm in PR territory for PCs, so I'll just retry this weight next time and hopefully I'll get all my reps
BW chins: 6,6
