 Training Log: Entry 2542

5x225
5x315
5x405
5x460
4x515
11+5+5+4x405 (tied previous PR in 3 sets, added 4 rep set)

50 chins while putting away plates

1x50

50 chins

Kroc rows 115
1x17

25 band pull aparts

Reverse hyper
40x180


Notes: Life and diet caught me today: didn't get my topset of 5.  Warm ups felt solid, which tends to mean the main lift is going to suck.  Damndest thing.  I DID attempt to get in the 5th rep with some rest, and it just seemed like a bad idea.  I shoulda pushed harder on the backoff set: didn't realize I matched my previous work until I looked back at the log.  But I got it in.  Increased the resistance on the shrugs to make it a little faster.  Was rushing this workout to get to work on time.  Hit the marks, but this is a good sign that I'm due for a for real deload.


PM WORKOUT (1800)


10 rounds EMOM

Buy in with one 1 motion keg press w/150lbs

Finish round w/high handle trap bar pulls of 135


Got to 167 reps total





Notes: This wasn't very challenging, but I like the skeleton behind it.  I got in a bunch of trap bar reps, which is cool.  Either need to up the weight on the trap bar or the reps on the keg.

  1. I have 100% noticed the same thing about warm-ups, it's so bizarre.

    1. Gotta wonder if we're overcompensating in the warm ups because we subconsciously know we are dragging.
