Bill and Melly try LP

[William MG]

W12D1

Bill:

Leg Press: +200x8x3

Let press glided smoothly. Bill reported feeling strong and feisty, but, erm ... him and his lovely lady were having a rough time getting along at the gym, so Bill stopped early. The joys of marriage!

Your next career move… marriage counselling!!

[Geoff Bischoff]

Well ... I do a reasonable amount of marriage counseling and advising already in my day job; don't really want to introduce it into barbell training. :/

W12D2

Bill:

Leg Press: +210x8x3
Press: 102.5x5, 62.5x5x2
Deadlift: 155x5

Melly:

Squat: 160x3, 130x5x2
Press: 65x5
Deadlift: 185x3

Only one set of press; they got to the gym late. Bummer since Melly needs some press work.

Melly is hitting a wall on squat right now; not sure why. Recovery factors seem to be well in place. Going to back up and make some volume PRs (135 across is new for her).

Melly insisted on trying 175 again. A whole bunch of times. So ... she did work, it was hard, but none of it counted. None of the reps were to depth at 175.
