Get stronger

Back Squat
3x5x290#

Press
4x3x135#,
1x5x115# (pause at bottom)
2x10x35# Dumbbells

Curls
Dynamic: 2 curls on the minute for 10 minutes
85, 90, 95, 95, 100, 100, 105 (PR), 110 (f), 100, 100------ 105#x2 was highest

3x10x30# strict w/ dumbbells



1st Set of the 3. Noticing my knees tracking in a bit which I have not noticed in the past, but I've worked on my form a lot and this has been the most comfortable way.

2nd set of  135x3


COMMENTS
  • General: Nice to tie my lifetime 5 rep squat PR. Definitely happy with 5# jumps each week. Not going to be greedy with gains like that. It went up pretty easily so I'm excited to lifetime PR next week hopefully. Press was weak. Once again I couldn't hit 135x5 which is increasingly frustrating. I'm not really sure how to fix the problem I seem to have with not increasing my press. Maybe start making 2.5# jumps instead.
  • Nutrition: clean w/ whole milk and PB added in
  • Body: Good. Shin feels 100% finally.
  • Sleep: 9 hours
  • Reflections: Now that I've realized I have a video camera that works I will be bringing it to the gym more often. Tomorrow I will be attempting a 400x3 deadlift and plan to catch that on video. Have to work out early tomorrow morning so hopefully that doesn't screw anything up. Also planning on doing intervals tomorrow later in the day. Decided I'm going to Endicott this upcoming Saturday and me and Dan are going to hit up Bradley Palmer State Park for a trail run since it's only 10 miles from his campus. It'll be nice to see the trails when the temperature isn't 20 degrees and not covered in snow. Looking forward to the rest of this week.
