Weekend

It was great being sick during the last week of 5/3/1 because I got to perform poorly on the heaviest lifts of the session (pouring sarcasm on pretty heavily)! I waited until Friday to go to the gym to assure I was completely better.


Friday


Backsquat
1x5 @ 310#
1x3 @ 350#
1xFAIL @ 395#


Power Cleans
4x3 @ 185#


Wow. Talk about a serious let down. After sixteen weeks, according to this day I have lost 10# on my squat. I realize this is entirely due to being sick in the beginning of the week, but like I said before it is extremely frustrating anytime this happens regardless of the reason. I have known nothing but progress since I started training mostly power lifts and getting my first taste of true failure leaves a bad taste in my mouth.


Saturday


Bench Press
1x5 @ 210#
1x3 @ 240#
1x4 @ 265#


Strict Pull ups
3x10 @ bodyweight


Flat Dumbbell Press
1x10 @ 80#
1x8 @ 90#
1x6 @ 100#


Jog 1 mile
8:12


Wow again. My legs are super sore! Another indication that my body was not ready for a heavy squat day on Friday. I didn't even complete my workout and I am sore as hell. Today was much better for psyche. While working up to my last set on the bench press I didn't feel great but I got a good spotter and was happy with 4. I got the fifth rep about 3/5's of the way up before it started coming back down. I got at least 6 reps on a good day. The mile was nice and easy, allowed me to work on my breathing.
