Training Log: Entry 1117

Bench
3x205
3x235
9x265
5x10x185

Notes: Butt left bench on the last rep of the 265 set. Amazingly, at the 5 rep I felt like I could terminate the set, but was able to squeeze out 4 more reps. I'm not living up to my potential. Bench is finally progressing pretty well. The first lift I can imagine needing to reset is the squat, but that's still a ways away. 5x10 was brutal, and last 2 sets had shakey final reps, but I won't make any adjustments until I am out of this altitude.

Squats
310x3
355x3
400x6
4x10x235
1x1x235

Notes: Fast eccentric, slow out of the hole.  Hips may just be tight from riding in cars all weekend.  Elevation still murders me, worse lower back pump in my life.  Had to cut the last set at 1.  Felt like my whole body was throwing up.

Strict Press
130x3
150x3
165x8
5x10x105

Notes: 105 was flying today.  Most likely due to lack of fatigue from inability to row heavy weights in between sets.  Tendonitis is real bad, did not pack fish oil or glucosamine for this trip.

DB rows 125
4x10
1x15

Notes: Just cannot stand mid range DB rows.  Multiple low rep sets are fine, and 1 ball buster set is fine, but this stuff is so mentally draining.  If I ever have a weakness in my upperback, it means I'll need to start doing this.

Cable curls

Deadlifts 435
1x15

Notes: Higher elevation, thicker bar, octagonal plates all playing against me.  Still managed, but had to cut the workout in half.

Front squats 135
7x10

Notes: 3x10 during my lunch break, 4x10 right after work.

RCSU+30
5x10

Bench press
190x5
220x5
250x11 (Some sort of PR)
5x10x180

Notes: Had at least 1 more in me for the 250 set, but form was getting ugly.  Speaking of ugly form, last sets of 5x10 were horrible.  Blame it on not being able to alternate with pull-ups due to training at a public gym.

Rear delt stuff.

Squats
5x290
5x335
9x380 (+10lb, +1rep PR)
5x10x225

Notes: Definitely getting stronger.  Had at least 1 more rep in the tank for the last work set, but was happy with my PR.  Slow and steay.

KB swings 45lbs
5x25

Notes: Being a wimp about my ab training.

Strict press
120x5
140x5
155x12 (+4 rep PR)
5x10x100

Notes: Looks like the program is working.  Still very minor main in right shoulder/tricep connector, but obviously not hindering ability to hit lifts.

Notes: I'm such a wimp when it comes to direct arm training.
