Hi, Dave.
A correction to the previous log. My benchpress on monday was 180 lbs not 185.
Monday, Oct 1st:
location: Uni Gym
Squat:
Work Sets
4x5x220
Bench Press:
Work Sets
1x5x185
4x4x185
Barbell Rows:
Work Sets
4x4x185
I dropped the amount of reps across this week to make a smaller jump. Squats went well, nothing to really note. Bench I was considering trying for a 5x5 across with 185. However the last rep on the first set was slow so I went with 4 reps for the rest. 185 on barbell rows instead of 180 because there arent many 2.5lb plates around. These are done with a full deweight each time btw. Overall not a bad workout. I've gotta start scouting new programs.
