In my defense I have been really freaking busy and have not had the motivation to update my training, but I am training and its going well! I have been experiencing some bicep discomfort in my right arm when I bench press. It radiates through my whole arm during my bench workout. I have decided to take a week off from bench. I am going backpacking this weekend anyways so its good timing.
My new program is awesome. I am IN love with it. I have been squatting heavy (its all relative, give me a break) on Tuesdays and lighter but with a much higher volume (then I have ever done) on Fridays. I am noticing improvement in my peace of mind and form. Unfortunately, I was noticing that my deadlift was suffering due to the heavier workload. I was forced to put two workouts together on Tuesday to compensate for my days missed by this camping trip. I found that this worked wonders for my deadlift, I felt strong and I performed better setting a PR. I think I am going to squat heavy on Tuesday followed by a deadlift workout from now on and use Wednesday as my assistance exercise day. Without further ado, here are some of the lifts I have done since my last post:
Back Squat:
3x1 @ 395#
5x5 @ 325#
Bench Press
1x2 @ 285 (PR)
Deadlift
1x3 @ 510# (PR)
I will squat a volume day today and perform some pull ups and GHD sit ups. Then I will be embarking on a 27 mile hike over three days to "rest."
