Thursday - Hill Sprints #10

It's been a while since my last sprints. Temp today: 100 F. 10 sprints in 20 minutes. Video below (I'm pretty slow today).

Wednesday - Bench Press. Workout #2 Cycle #2

Today was okay. Back on prednisone and the poison ivy is not itchy at all. I've had hiccups all day from the medication, though. Anyway, the workout today wasn't anything special. My form was pretty slack and I didn't feel like I got much power in my pressing.

Goals:

165x3
190x3
215x3

Lifted

165x3
190x3
215x7

Assistance lifts:
75 reps of 60lb DB flat bench  in 5 sets
50 dumbell rows at 75lbs in 5 sets.

Monday - Deadlift. Workout#2 Cycle #2.

Today's lift was pretty good. I was pretty bloated from drinking a smoothie before lifting so I wanted to vomit on every rep, but whateva. Back on prednisone for the poinson ivy. Sad face.

Goals:

300x3
340x3
385x3

Lifted:

300x3
340x3
385x11 (This time last month I did 375x11)

Saturday - Clean and Jerk. Workout #2 Cycle #2

Poison Ivy has returned (maybe it's not poison ivy?). Anyway, not much sleep the past two nights. Today's workout still went pretty well. And I improved over last month's lift of 185x7 with today's lift of 190x7. My form fell apart in that I didn't do a split on most of the reps. Just doing the push press felt easier, although that may have worn my shoulders out more quickly.

Goals:

150x3

170x3

190x3

Lifted:

150x3

170x3

190x7

My assistance lifts improved as well. I completed the 50 chin-ups in 5 sets more quickly than last time. Same goes for the weighted dips (45lbs+BW for 5 sets of 10 reps).

Thursday - Squats. Workout #1 cycle #2

Squats went well. This time last month I lifted 310 for six reps. Today I put up 315 for seven. My form is still crap. For assistance work, I ended with three sets of front squats to immediate back squats at 155lbs. This was too light.

Goals:
245x5
280x5
315x5+

Lifted:
245x5
280x5
315x7
