Training Log: Entry 445
New shoes are working out great. Really forcing me onto my heels. Getting a great drive through.
Squats of 315
5,5,5,4,4
Notes: Had my wife check my form. She says I'm sitting back really far, but my back is bending a bit. I figure that comes with the bar being so far down on my back.
Bench of 270
5,4,3,2,3
Notes: The bars here are heavier/thicker than where I was before, so things were a little wonky on the lift. Might just stick with the weight and go on through this.
Angled bar pull-ups w/45lbs
5,4,3,3,2
Notes: Not a damn straight bar to be had in this gym, so I have to use these weirdly angled pull-up bars that flare out. Need to reduce the weight and build more momentum. It's a new movement, hits my lats real hard, but it's easy to cheat the ROM because I have no bar to hit my chin with. Need to focus on good form here.
Chuck Taylor knock-offs from the Wal-Mart, eh? That's a good freaking idea. I'll keep that in mind just in case my gym peeps ever decide to get uppity over my socks-only deadlift and squatting.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they only cost about $15. I don't know what the brand is, but if you look for canvas shoes, you'll find them.
