Warm up
-did a bit more today as I'm sick of feeling like crap all of the time. I may lose a bit, but if I can minimize the pain I'll be able to do this another 10 weeks instead of stopping, and I'd love to make it to 20 weeks.Watched Paul and Jordans warm up videos today, so that gave me a few ideas.
foam roll - IT bands, inner thigh, glutes
rollover into v sit, mountain climbers
x band walk
hip, ham, pec, lat stretch
Back squat
barx5, 60x3, 60x1, 100x1x2, 140x1, 160x1, 180x1(wrist wraps on, switch from pinkyless grip to thumbless) 200x1, 210x1, 220x1(belt on), 225x1
I thought the 225 was 230, when I realized this I just didn't have it in me to take another attempt, my right knee was a real problem today and threw off all of my warm up sets, when I got to 220 I wasn't feeling totally comfortable and got on my toes pretty hard making the squat much harder than it needed to be, I even had my belt on. 225 was a good squat, didn't hit the hole as well as I would have liked and I had to fight a bit to get out of it, but I was happy with the depth and overall form, I stayed tall and kept position, which was exactly what I was telling myself to do.
I'm not very satisfied with how my training has gone since I've been in PEI, my form is tight, but the numbers and overall excitement to train is very low. I think getting home and getting back into my routine will help, but I want to try to fight as hard as I can while i'm here, and just see it as a challenge. The gym i'm at is perfect, but I'm used to having a lot of people around, and to be honest, I don't have anyone to hate. The fun part of a commercial gym is there's always someone to hate, there's so many retards it's easy, and that gets me feeling pretty mean and nasty and then I'm in a good place to lift. I also haven't been setting tight goals in my head, I usually roll in knowing exactly what I want to hit, how it's going to look on the bar, exactly how I'm going to work up to it. Today I wanted 230, and I thought I got there, I know I would have hit it if I put 5's on instead of 2.5s, tomorrow I'll go for 235, I'll jump from 220 to 230, then take 235. minimum 230 though.
