First entry and excuses. I was sick (I never get sick) Sun-Tue.
I've been doing madcow's intermediate 5X5 and decided to back it up to the SS 5X5 (starting in the middle of the week).
So, Madcow 5th set was last 220 (Friday-165 on Wednesday I guess)
Today after SS calculated warm up sets
165X5X5X5
(My left knee started hurting for some reason, not like I was using it to lift, but rather it felt like I was rotating it funny-Keep an eye on it and wrap it next time to be sure)
Overhead press (I have to do seated because my ceiling is only 7' tall and it's usually very cold out)
Madcow 5th set was 126 (Wed)
Today after SS calculated warm up sets
100X5X5X5
Dead Lift
Madcow 5th set was 311
Today after SS calculated Warmup
250X5 (too heavy?) 200X5X5 (WTF??-It's dead lifts, how could my weight go down so much? did I puke that much strength when I was sick? My form was all jacked up too)
The only thing I can think of is that today was the first day back to eating fully since saturday, maybe these guys and their pushing nutrition all the time have something. On the other hand I didn't drink any beer the whole time, so maybe that was the problem.
