Alright. Aside from my squats that were a giant pile of dog crap, I had a decent workout today. I really focused on getting a bunch of mobility drills done before hand. After I did the mobility warm up stuff I did all the standard warm up sets. And as for my work sets:
Squat Work Set:
255x3x5/5/FAIL
Notes: Just an incredible amount of fail on these. Even on the first set I almost had to dump the bar. Very frustrated with these right now. Some reps I was able to shove my knees out more than others, but overall it was pretty terrible. My descent speed was very erratic, and I good morninged about 1/2 the reps. I will probably be resetting down to 225 for my work set because I've been eating and sleeping like a freakin' champ, so I know it's not that. Arhghghghghgh FU SQUATS
Press Work Set:
110x3x5
Notes: I meant to do these before squats, but i forgot and it didn't really matter anyway. BUT, I feel like this is my best set so far. Doesn't mean it's ideal but I really felt like I am getting better at this. I realized i was not setting my back in the right position at all, after watching Miles latest press video. Makes a pretty big difference. Also, I was really looking forward to doing this in my power rack, but I'm too tall, the rack is too short, and the pins don't come off. I'll invest in some J-hooks and that will solve all my problems. It kinda sucks racking the bar on a chair and cleaning it to my shoulders before my sets.
"Pendalay Rows":
135x3x5
Notes: I think I am going to start alternating rows and PCs, so I can have the best of both worlds. I guess. Anyway, I've never done these before so I have no idea really what I'm doing. I tried to lock my back into extension but now that I'm watching it I can see that by the end of the set it's completely rounded. I'll have to focus on that.
"Clean And Jerk"
135x1x5
Notes: I've attempted these a few times before, but I figured I might as well video tape it so I can eventually learn. I've got to start somewhere. I know it's inferior to hiring a o-lifting coach, but hopefully by then it will be fine tuning and not re-learning the lifts. Anyway, no idea on these I'll have to get some feedback on these.
Jumping Pull ups x 5
Assited Chins 2x5
That's all for now, squats aside I am happy with the output. I'm really going to be focusing on increasing pull up and chin up volume so I can get better at the press stuff and generally have nicely sculpted arms.
