The behind the neck press was for shoulder mobility and stretching only.
I strained a ligament training earlier this week, and it's probably the last one anyone would guess. I clenched my teeth on a rep and all the force went to one top molar and the corresponding bottom one. LOL...I didn't even know gums had ligaments, but I guess something has to hold teeth in place. Dentist says it will be fine in a few days, but it sure is uncomfortable. I hope it's all good tomorrow, as deload week will be over.
HIIT hill sprints: (30 sec. sprint / 30 second walk)x14
Notes:
I smoked the first 415 squat rep. I went for one more and smoked it too, except that in the process of telling my spotter I was going for another one, I exhaled too much and knocked myself off balance a bit. I ended up about two inches high on the second rep, so I didn't count it here.
The 325 lb squat set was supposed to be for maximum reps, but I came in looking for 415, not for 325x9. (that's actually a legit week 1 5/3/1 variation for powerlifting, but I would have done it even if it weren't.)
I adjusted my 5/3/1 squat max upwards 10 lb above the standard increase after my last progression, but I may index it up further.
I guess I squat more than I deadlift now. I'm not sure how to feel about that. Hopefully further squat improvement will fuel some DL improvements as well.
The focus of this log has changed significantly since I started it five years ago, so I decided it's time to start a new log. Please join me at Rich's powerlifting log. Thanks!
