Awesome session. Today was the 'skills test' day, which has you max on the big three. I don't think I've ever done all three of the lifts in the same workout, let alone maxing on them back to back to back, so I wasn't sure what to expect; especially considering I am constantly fatigued due being in a caloric deficit and being on my ninth consecutive week of Sheiko. I ended up with a 20lb PR on ATG squats, 15lb PR on floor press, and came close to a PR on deads. 715 was just too heavy, but I think 690-700 would have went. Pretty encouraging stuff!
First day of #32. Easy day.
#31 is in the books. Will start #32 next week!
Solid workout. Deads were real tough, but floor presses were great – pushed my last sets at 320 and 285 and got some nice PRs. Not bad considering my forearm is still a mess!
So I slept weird on my left arm Saturday night and had some excruciating pain in my forearm/elbow since then. Wasn't sure if I would be able to do any presses so I threw on a heavy duty elbow sleeve and was able to hit the prescribed reps (plus extra) without any trouble. Squats were cake.
Tough workout. The lack of energy trend continues, but I ground this session out. Getting to about time for a deload!
Decent workout. Very fatigued. Tried bench in lieu of floor press and it felt like crap, even while restricting my ROM to the same as I do on floor press.
One of those easy but hard as hell workouts. Not much energy and still beat from Friday's ME work.
Awesome session. I deviated a bit and did heavy wide-stance squats again and skipped ATG squats. Really felt like pushing things today and I ended up besting my previous wide-stance squat PR of 630 by 5lbs. Felt pretty easy so I went big. 675, 45lb PR! So close to 700 I can taste it. Inclines felt real good after despite being pretty damn tired. 295 for 4 with a few reps left. Close to a PR had I pushed it a bit.
