Today's percentages had me lift exactly what I lifted this time last month, due to rounding down instead of rounding up. Anyway, I've been in Buffalo for the past two days attending a spoken Latin conference and I've not been eating very much. I knew that going into today's workout I'd be pretty low energy/strength. Bench press, for me, is affected by outside factors so much more than my other lifts. I ended up lifting exactly what I did last month, but I was unable to complete my assistance work, so I called it an early day. Emotionally I'm not pleased with myself and I would've liked to have eked out one more rep as compared to last time. Logically I know that today was actually not so bad considering the circumstances (and it could have been worse!). No video today, as I was in a college gym where recording is not allowed.
By the way, I didn't think anyone read this blog. Where in the hell are all these page views coming from!?
Goals:
160x5
180x5
205x5
Lifted:
160x5
180x5
205x9
I've been reading, because I'm interested in 5/3/1. I did a run of Starting Strength a couple years ago, but haven't had a routine since then. I believe I'm going to start 5/3/1 in earnest next week, partly thanks to reading here. Thanks for keeping a blog of your journey!
