Milk and Squats: What's Best in Life

[artvandalay]

Squat: 365x5x3 Pr. Really dreading this as I put the 25s on. Reminded myself I did 360 and then it wasn't so bad.

I do this, too. I usually grab a weight that is the same as my incremental increase -- in your case, a 5-lb weight. Then I lift it, throw it around, maybe even squat with it and think about how insignificant it is. For a squat I would think about all of the muscle groups I can recruit to move that insignificant extra weight. Then i do my set.

Probably overkill but it works for me!

This is much healthier than what I do.

I load up all of my weight and stare at it in dread.

Then I'll pace back and forth on the platform sipping water and looking at my flexed/unflexed triceps in the mirror and reflect on my previous squats until I've noticed an absurd amount of time has passed. Then I get under the bar and squat. This is unique to the squat and no other lifts qualify as a Significant Emotional Event.

I'll give your method a try and let you know how it goes

Felt really blue on Monday and Tuesday. Feeling a lot better and more confident today.

Light Squat: 295x5x3

Bench: 275x5x5 Pr. My front delt (very top of my bicep?) was pretty sore going into the 4th and 5th set.

Chins: 10x5 or 6.

My front delts on bench sets 3, 4, and 5 respectively:

I'll definelty post any Jazzercise enrollment on my log. No secret fun here lol, so don't you worry.

And I might do 4x8 or 8x2 or something the next time I'm feeling adventurous. I've been listening to powercast ever since you've mentioned it and I like it a lot so thanks.

Squat: 370x5x3 Pr. Set 1, Set 2, Set 3. Set 1 I think was a bad angle and was just as deep as the other ones.

Press: 185x 5, 5, 4, 3, 4. Recorded these because I don't know if I'm pushing some of the reps. Please ignore my retarded duck/fish facial expressions. Will do again next press day or microload 2 lbs. Might post on technique because of some knee bend.

Deadlift: 415x5

Isolation Stuff
Lateral Raise: 30x10x5
Curls: 75x10x5
