Training Log: Entry 487

ME lower day

Powerlifting squat
Barx3
135x3
225x3
295x1
345x1
375x1 (New PR)
397x1 (New PR)
400x0

Notes: Counting the clamps on the 397, wife weighed them in at 1lb a piece.  So damn close to 400.  Mind was all messed up.  Music kept skipping on my laptop and was driving me nuts, had no focus.  Was able to get the 397 out of anger, but the 400 was no go.  Abs are still destroyed from ab wheel, impossible to bend or move, made squats really suck.  3-4-5 is within reach.

Good Mornings of 165
2x10
2x8

Notes: Abs killed me here as well, but gutted out every last rep.  These sucked.

DB side bends of 70
4x8

Notes: Loaded up the wrong weight on the DB.  Way too light.  Rookie mistake.  Just an off night tonight.  Came into it in a bad mood.  Have to stop failing on ME day, or else I miss the point of the program.  I at least have an idea of my abilities now, and what to shoot for.

  1. The "PR" initials seem to be popping up frequently. Keep it up.

  2. Emevas what ab wheel do you have? I've got one called an Ab-slider or something It works the triceps, chest and shoulders but as for the abs it does nothing at all do you use one without the coiled spring ?

  3. Mine is just a baisc wheel with a handle.  Got it at a garage sale, no spring or anything.  Make sure you're keeping the natural arch of your back.  Odds are the coiled spring is retarding your exercise, but even still, when you slide out, make sure to really stretch your abdomen at the end of the slide.  You should really feel it as long as you aren't stopping short.
    And you can call me Jared =P
