7/17 log - sesh 32
Mobility/activation stuff (did rolling later in the day)
Squat
45x2x5
75x1x5
110x1x3
150x1x2
190x1x5
190x1x1 - I got distracted after this rep and reracked, then did the other 4 right away.
190x1x4
190x1x3 - I think I mentally failed, but I was having trouble getting it up obv. I will get this next time. It was great I didn't just fail every rep on every set like the last time I tried 190
.
Bench
45x2x5
70x1x5
100x1x3
130x1x2
145x2x5
145x1x4 - Ugh. I didn't get the last rep. I've been stuck on this for what seems like forever. Although I think being sick took a lot out of me and I regressed a bit and just didn't acknowledge it. So I should get this next time no problem and move onward and upward.
Also, my g/f said the left side of the bar was going higher than the right. She couldn't tell if it was just at the top or if I was leading with the left side or exactly what. Not sure if I should be too concerned with this yet unless it keeps happening.
Pullthroughs supersetted with chin/pullups/neutral
27.5x1x10
37.5x1x10
47.5x2x10
52.5x2x10
BWx1x5 (pullups)
BWx1x5 (chins)
BWx1x4 (neutral)
BWx1x5 (neutral)
I think I should GTG on these since I haven't moved up at all. I can keep doing ~5 for each set as long as I wait in between long enough, but the 5th one always seems tough. If I just do chins fresh without doing anything else first, I can do 10 as long as I go fast and rock somewhat. But doing them this way I always feel at 5 like I could do ~1 more if I strain. Should I start trying to GTG? or should I do these in a different way as an accessory? The main reason I do these is I've heard they are less worthless than curlz and I would like some amount of guns.
Btw, my g/f did this:
squats:
24x3x5
45x1x3
60x1x2
80x3x5 Like a boss.
Bench
24x3x5
45x1x3
50x1x2
60x1x5
60x1x3 - She started laughing when it got heavy and lost all of her chest tightness. Not sure why she has the habit of laughing when it gets "too heavy". Makes me laugh too, but is confusing and I'm pretty sure laughing during reps isn't going to help long-term, lol.
60x1x5
Then she did some bicep/tricep bro curls/pulldowns. She doesn't want to lose her hard earned definition in her arms so I told her if she wanted to do curls and such, to do it during this part of our programming.
I brought my camera to take video and it only had the batteries to take 1 video. Which was on a warmup set so isn't even useful to post. Next time hopefully I can post some video of my lifts for review and this blog can become much more interactive for ya'll.
