I'm in New York City this weekend, woo! Anyway, I was still a little sick yesterday and only had five hours of sleep followed by a six hour bus ride. As such, I was not expecting to be able to lift very much (and was ready to scrap my workout if my warm-ups were causing too much trouble). When I got to the gym I ended up having to adjust my form a little on the deadlits, since they only had those octagon shaped plates; I couldn't roll the bar around to get into a comfy position. Still, things went better than expected. I think about half way through the set of 440lbs I knew I could get 10 reps and leave a couple in the tank, too. I didn't get it on video, argh!
Goals for today:
350x5
395x3
440x1
Lifted:
350x5
395x3
440x10
Assistance work stayed the same as last time (although I'm pretty sure I did the sets more quickly):
- 5 sets wide grip pullups: 7, 7, 7, 7, 6 reps with +45lbs
- No ab wheel at this gym, so hanging leg raises for 5 sets (8 reps each set)
Week 3 improvement at the six month mark:
- Cycle 1: 400x7
- Cycle 2: 405x10
- Cycle 3: 415x10
- Cycle 4: 425x10
- Cycle 5: 430x11
- Cycle 6: 440x10
i HATE them octagon shaped plates dude i know what you mean. if u set it down and it lands on a corner sometimes it rolls back is smashes ur shins. hurts like a bitch.
