Notes: I felt good coming in today. My diet's been good the last two days. Maybe I could have squeezed in a few more hours sleep. But, man, 240 on squat was tough. I had to place the bar on the pins for the fifth rep of the second squat set, and something in that set hurt my left shoulder and elbow. I think that pain and resultant weakness hurt my bench press as well.
I'm not discourages; just surprised. I fully expected to make the planned progress, but perhaps this is evidence that its time to go to 2.5lbs increases on bench press.
Notes:
-The left shoulder/elbow pain came back on the second set of squats and stuck around till midway through my deadlift warmups. All of the sudden, it wasn't there any more. Pain didn't restrict press like it seemed to restrict bench press.
-I could not straighten my back on the fourth rep of work deadlifts. Better luck next time.
Goals for 6/8/2017:
Squat: 245lbsx5x3
Bench Press: 127.5x5x3
Power Clean: 110lbsx3x5
Notes:
-So, I've been away for a while. Long story short, a 9 month pregnant wife, a newborn child, and a new job made it difficult to get away for a few hours at a time to lift. But, now I'm back, and ready to get back to where I left off.
-I reset my levels, but expect to gain rapidly and return to previous weights soon.
-I've added bicep curls for fun.
Goals for 8/7/2017:
Squat: 170lbsx5x3
Bench Press: Starting
Deadlift: 190x5x1
Notes:
-LP continues. My quads were sore all day today (not yesterday), but they feel better now that I've lifted.
-Back to a lean, low carb, 200g of protein diet.
