Alright finished volume day today. It was sweet. I've also modified my current TM template:
JonFon's TM Template
I swapped weeks for my PCs because it makes more sense that way, I added in C+J on Week A Volume day, and took out the push ups because I want to start doing them weighted and haven't figured out what day would be best.
I am hoping that adding in C+J will help with my PC and press, plus they are fun.
So anyway, here is what today looked like:
Squat: 230x5x5 (90% of 255 5RM)
Notes: Felt a little bit easier than last week, and this makes sense. It was a smaller jump this week from last than it was the previous two weeks. I also focused on trying to only rest about 4 minutes in between sets, but I'm sure it was closer to 5. I think I am going to stick with this shorter rest period except for the last set, just so I can make sure my form is good enough. It was kind of sloppy on the last set today and was really a grind.
Bench: 180x5x5 (90% of 200 5RM)
Notes: My first 2 sets weren't that great, but my last 3 were much better. I had better form, better leg drive, my back was tighter and I had better starting placement. Basically I had more focus and WIM on my last 3 sets. I also focused on only resting about 4 minutes in between sets.
C+J: 135x3x3
Notes: Fun! The cleaning part was fun and easy, the jerk was a lot more challenging. They were all a bit sloppy except for the 1st rep on my 3rd work set. It felt really good, and also felt the easiest. I wish they all felt like that. I am hoping to add 5 pounds every 2 weeks to this for a while. I can't drop the weights or anything so it kind of sucks.
That's about it for me today, I'm going to drink a couple protein shakes before work and then eat who knows what there. Probably more protein shakes. Sigh.
Anyway, life is good, WIM and all that.
