SQUATS: ... I really like squatting from the ER racks. The fact that I can slide the rack arms inward a little really helps me get in a better squat position. I don't like squatting without the heavy pins in a power rack, though...
BENCH: Almost got 4 on 235, but my feet came off the floor. Probably could've done 220-225, but I decided to be a little conservative.
DEADLIFT: Don't really know how useful 5 across is, but today was at 60% intensity so I thought I'd try volume. Going to hit the programming forum for some advice.
CHATTER: Nothing of consequence. Weight fluctuating, think it's extra body water. I usually gain a pound or two when I hit the weights, then start to taper off. Got some decent cardio in yesterday, plan to today as well. Feet still feel a little rough from long periods of walking, so I'm going to give it a few more days of LISS before I try to add the HIIT in, as mentioned in last post. Diet compliance remains good.
Not super sure how I'm going to program the deadlifts with the increase volume, and I don't know if I have 400x5x5 in me for squats. We'll see. Gonna go poke around the programming forum for awhile.
ADDENDUM: All these numbers are wrong - wrong amount of deadlifting, wrong percentage for recovery, wrong wrong wrong. Should've done around a 20% drop, not 40%. Oh well - live and learn.
