- Squat 5x225 (good form), 3x295 (lacking form), 2x310 (lacking form), 2x310 (decent form)
- Bench 5x135, 3x155, 2x180, 2x185, 2x190
- Chinup 3xBW+10, 2xBW+20, 1xBW+25
My weight right now, according to my home's scale, is 185. According to the scale at the gym, I believe it's 175 or so. So um. Yeah.
In either case, I can finally bench my body weight! Unequivocally! As long as the barbell is actually 45 lbs. I'm a little suspicious, since I seem to have gotten stronger by a pretty considerable amount compared to how I was at school if this is indeed the case.
Need to tighten up the form on the squat. It's definitely the most 'full-body' of the workouts I do, as it's the only one that can leave me gasping with oxygen usage on volume days. I'll try for the full 5x5 at 255 in 10 days, instead of working my way up from that 225 set last time.
Feeling stupidly proud of my chinups. First time using a belt to attach weight to myself, so it was very exciting. Adding weight feels like progress made; it's really hard to go from 5 reps to 6 reps, but adding weight is always quantifiable and feels cool.
Next week - deadlifts, overhead presses, and dips! Will do rows instead of deadlifts on non-record days; will mix in the bench for the overhead press; will mix in some machine work for the dips. I think. Looking forward to having some fun.
