Tonight is attempt 2 at 270 on squats. Got 5/5/5/5/4 last time so I should be okay. Nothing else of note for the other lifts this time.

I need a week to sleep in.

I'm tired. So very, very tired.

Tore up my right arm pretty bad somehow (trying to do a muscle up on the bar probably) and my left quad is still shot deep down so it wasn't a good night. Deloaded after failing on 255 for the third time (5/5/5/5/4, so close!) and it went well. Managed to record my form too but I haven't dissected it yet ( Read more... )

Tonight is attempt number 3 to squat 255. I COULD possibly pull it off if the stars align and the music's just right. We shall see. Last time (10/16) I made it a point to make sure I was going at least to (what I percieve to be) parallel. I think I got 5/5/4/3/3. Regardless if I fail this will be my first true deload on the program that's not ( Read more... )

So the week off probably ended up helping me, or at least not hurting me too badly. Squatting 240 was actually a lot easier than I expected it to be (better warmup progression probably helped) and I went with 100 for press and 245 for deadlifts, good form on both. Chinups definitely suffered though, only 8 / 7.5 / 3. Not really sure how to ( Read more... )

Tonight I return after a week off ( Read more... )

Uncharted territory is fucking painful ( Read more... )

I did great yesterday! Got 240 up without much trouble till the end. My left quad continues to burn and ache disproportionately...first time in my life favoring my right leg has shown a difference. Just gotta train through it though ( Read more... )

So the consensus is:

Converses
No running at the beginning
Get your goddamned form right

Tonight SUCKED ASS. 5/3/3/3/4 for 240 squat and only 4 on 255 deadlift, though I fucked up on the first rep (forgot to add a 10 to one side) so that might've been different.

I need to get more sleep and more power music, and possibly move running the mile from the start of the workout to the end. Will experiment on Sunday.
