Argh, I can really feel that I'm not really making the plunge on squats. I don't want to deload again. I feel like I'm a little stronger than the last time I was at this weight, but I still can't go all the way down on every rep. Plus, I feel a ton of strain on my lower back now, which makes me think I might be doing it wrong. I think it might be affecting my presses. Sucks ass.
I did have to cheat a little on the last two reps of presses, but I don't feel too shaken up about it. Rows, on the other hand, felt like they involved a bit too much upper body movement downward, relying on transfer of momentum rather than on back and arm strength. When I planted my feet for real on the last set, I pretty much got fucked. Got like two clean reps and then started BSing.
Warmup sets
- Squat 5x45, 5x135, 5x225
- Press 5x45, 5x85
- Row 5x95
Work sets
- Squat 5x290, 5x295, 5x295
- Press 5x105, 5x105, 5x110
- Row 5x120, 5x125, 5x125
Looking for a body weight bench by end of semester. Might try to be more ambitious on Friday about increasing the weight. Might go 5x170, 4x170, 3x175 or so. If I can.
