3/18/16 - Conditioning
Rec Center track (1/11th of a mile): 24 laps: (1 walk/2 fast) x 8. Total time 25:09, fast laps were in the 50 second range.
3/20/16- BW: 196.5
Should have been done on the 19th, but Saturday was just too busy, so one day late
SQ - 45x5x2, 90x5, 130x3, 170x2, 210x5x3 (PR!)(tough, but no issues)
OHP - 45x5x2, 60x5, 75x3, 85x2, 95x3,4,4,4 (PR!)(tough, and missed a rep on the 1st! set. Keep same weight next time, and man, I suck at this lift)
PC - 35x3x2, 45x3, 55x3x5 (PR!)(not too bad, and now heavy enough that I land with feet wider than before the jump. With 35 and 45, I land with feet closer, very strange. Go to 65 next time)
Chins - 12, 12, 11 (just the blue band)(OK, way more reps than last time, and with less assistance, but that's because I found a better way to use the band. Less assistance at the bottom, but more at the top. Noted exactly where I had the band on the rack, so it will be consistent from now on. Once I hit 15x3, I'll decrease the assistance.)
Glad I'm going to the DL & PC clinic on the 9th, because I'm fairly certain my PC form sucks pretty bad
3/24/16 - BW: 197.1
Again, one day late, had too many things going on after work yesterday.
SQ - 45x5x2, 90x5, 135x3, 175x2, 215x5x3 (PR!)(pretty tough, but no issues)
BP - 45x5x2, 72.5x5, 97.5x3, 122.5x2, 147.5x5x3 (PR!)(very tough, just like last two times, 5th reps were all a slow grind. Tells me I'm right at my true strength limit, and that I AM getting stronger
DL - 95x5x2, 130x5, 165x3, 200x2, 235x5 (PR!)(very tough. Normal grip, and that's still fine, but the lift itself is hard. I don't think the bar speed was that slow, though, so I think it's mostly that I'm just a wimp!)
If this was a powerlifting meet today, I'm 2.5 pounds from the 600 club
Also, happy to see that for the squat, 175#, where I got stuck several times, is now my last warmup set weight!
