Not an awesome training day, but certainly not the worst. Squat seems to be doing alright, progressing upward and technique is getting a little better. Still not consistently at or below parallel, but haven't really tested singles recently. Still need to work on hips and getting back a little better in the squat, need to work on my stability in the bench a WHOLE lot.
Here's what occurred:
- Squat (w/ Texas Squat Bar) - 2x5xbar, 5x145lbs, 5x195lbs, 5x235lbs, 5x275lbs, 5x305lbs
- Bench - 5xbar, 5x95lbs, 5x135lbs, 5x155lbs, 2x170lbs (failed @ 3, shoulda been 5)
- Wide stance good mornings with EliteFTS SS Yoke bar - 3x10x125lbs
- Tbar row - 3x10x50lbs
- Standing cable crunch - 3x15x120lbs
Like I said, squats were okay, if not intermittently high, but it looks like 3 of 5 were decent, two definitely high.
The biggest bummer was the bench work - just not staying tight enough through the set, got 170 for two, plan was for five after 165 for five last week. Like Porter said, think the strength is there, but everything has to be perfect to press through it as the strength isn't there yet to power through being out of position. Think I will be adding more back and tricep work in to help this process along.
Not a ton else to report aside from the normal tomfoolery and silly business - quoth Swep- "Still cocktail hour?" and a bit of discussion on rehab and injuries in and around C5-C7, seems they are not a rarity.
But I digress.
Or not.
That's actually pertinent to this blog.
Or better yet.
Tomfoolery.
Even if youtube does compress the bejeezus out of it.
