Alright got a good work out today, tested a couple 1RMs including squat which I have never tested before. I really focused a lot of stretching and warming up today, and ran around the block to get my blood flowing. I took a 200mg caffeine pill also, it I really liked it. Anyway, here is what I did
Started off testing my 1RM. These were all technically PRs since I've never done this before:
Squat:
275x1
295x1
305x1
315x1 <<<< AWESOME!
Sweet. I only have 4 45s, so it's not technically 3 plates, but same amount of weight. Looked a little sloppy, but it looked pretty deep, and I happy because I didn't think I could do anything over 300.
After that I did my work set:
Squat Work Set:
240x3x5
Notes: Still workin' on my form. My knees kind of do some slight caving when I am getting the bounce out of the hole. Hard to tell, but my back looks a little tighter, don't really know. This did feel pretty light after squatting 315, though. Cool.
Press Work Set:
115x2x5
115x1x3
115x1x4
Notes: After my second press work set, I really had to take a crap. It took like 20 minutes so I lost a lot of momentum. Which is why I came back and only did 3. I ran around doing some chins and KB swings, but I could only do 4 after that. Oh well, I suck at this anyways, it's to be expected.
Tested some PC 1RMs I'm sure this is fairly close to my 1RM
PC
185x1
Meh, these are pretty tough, and it's such a fast lift I have a tough time judging my own form. I seem to be doing an asymmetric uncoordinated split clean or something weird. After that, I did my work sets:
170x3x3
Notes: Same as before it's hard for me to tell since it's a quick lift. I think I was able to get my back straight and my arms vertical which is good. Still doing the weird split clean thing on these. It's hard to tell if I'm doing the 2nd pull at the right time or not.
Clean and Jerk:
145x3
This actually felt easier than 140 did. I'm not sure but I think my last one is the best.
Well, I got my caffeine pills in the mail, but I'm still waiting for the Bronkaid (ephedrine+expectorant) and hopefully they will be here by the 1st when I plan on getting rid of all this extra body fat. Getting pretty tired of it. My goal it to basically get rid of all this body fat in 6 months while retaining as much strength as possible. We'll see how it goes.
