Went in feeling very off my game, and in no mood to train at all. Got it turned around, but I was still very drained, making me even happier with my numbers.
Bench
285x7,7,6,5,4
face pulls 75
hammer curls
side laterals
- 285x7 is a 350 max, I think this is the highest I've ever been with this cycle, so I'm really sniffing for a PR on bench soon, I'm only 40lbs away now from 405, and I'm nothing but happy with that, If I could get to 375 I'd be happy, 385 would be awesome. I'm going to let the week ride out and see how I do, 305 for 5's is going to be a tough workout, and 325 for triples will be interesting as well. But I want to get to the numbers the for the next week, so I'll push hard. I'm not far from where I need to be, the 285 felt really light and fast. Hitting 295 for a couple 7's next week will be huge for me. I don't know how I keep progressing, I've been hammering the volume 3 times a week and just trying to overtrain like crazy, and the numbers keep going up. I'm at the point now, where next week i'm supposed to be doing sets that would add up to my 1rm... so going past that, for mutliple sets, multiple times a week would be just deadly... I've got a lot of momentum in bench right now, interested in seeing where it goes. Once i'm over 405 on the bench, I'm promptly going to stop caring about it I think... I don't think I'll ever bench 500 without getting super fat and unhealthy... but 455 might happen. Either way, learning to bench twice a week instead of once was awesome, 3 times a week was even better.
Wednesday squat
Unfortnately just shit kicked. Left glute med is making me limp when I walk, and my right knee is toast, very sharp stabbing pains. I decided to not even try to do the 6x2 @80%, I went very light, did a nice long warm up... didn't help much.
front squat
6x2 with 225
Megan gave me some good advice to stretch my hamstring, it helped a bit, I remember I hurt my knee benching and it was just some tightness in my hamstring I'd loosen up then be fine.
