Late night training in an empty gym

[Burlingame]

Well I’m back in the gym. Life and scheduling got difficult and I buckled. I stopped training and eating right. I refuse to give up though. I will get through the LP and straighten up my habits. Anyway on to today’s workout.

Squat 185x5x3
Bench 135x5x3
Deadlift 210x5

I scaled the weight down since it’s been months since I trained last. The squats and deadlift felt good. The bench felt easy.

Squats Press Deadlift
45x5x2 45x5x2 95x5x2
85x5 60x5 130x5
120x3 75x3 160x3
160x2 90x2 190x2
195x3 105x5x3 220x5
190x5,4,5

Squats - Tried to do work sets at 195. Was on the safeties by the 3rd rep. I think I may have added too much weight too fast after just getting back into the gym. I can feel my knees drifting inward on the way up and I noticed that on the difficult reps I wasn't focusing on the hip drive. After finishing the workout it occurred to me that I may have been able to get the 195 if I had focused more on hip drive. I think my mind was wondering a bit at first.

Press - Noticed some pain in my right knee during some reps of the work sets. As the work sets went on it felt like uneven tension between quads and hamstrings. Also noticed that the reps I almost missed I didn't get a good stretch reflex.

Deadlift - Everything felt good. I'm sure my form could use a little refinement but overall I have no complaints.

Given the recurring form problems please, save some money and go see an SS coach. I will make a world of difference. For that matter getting some online coaching will give you discipline.
