MONDAY 4/2

squats: barx5 135x5 185x3 225x3 275x1 315x1 355x1 385x2x1,2,3 --385 felt ponderous, but I dominated the weight. I can't let the feel of the weight or how slow the reps are fuck with my head. I ALWAYS swquat slow. I am not a fast squatter. Think Viktor Naleikin slow on max attempts. Next week, EXPECT it to be heavy, then add your 6 reps over last week.

Volume: 4620lbs. LESS than when I did 5x5 up to 345. BUT I will be ending this loading block at 13000+lbs for one workout. And that's just counting the reps at 385. BANK ON IT

bent rows: 265x5x5 --my back was tired after the squats so I started acting like a little pussy but I pounded out hte sets. up 10 next week

1 leg work: split squats. left leg x 3x10, right x 10 only. 3x work for the left. Killed my left glute and hip, which makes sense. I'll hold a 10lb DB on wednesday, same reps.

Abs: hip raises on bench: 2 sets. Actually hard. I need to work lower abs more

GRIP:

#1 for 20 minutes. Didn't count reps, but did mostly sets of 10




Diet: Good

1. .75lbs ground turkey breast with 1oz cheese

2. ON 100% casein (2 servings) with 2tbsp cream

3. .25lbs ground turkey breast and .5lb chuck steak (only ate half last night)

4. same as 2

5. .5lbs of ground turkey breast, fried some mushrooms in the same pan

6. 2 scoops straw whey, 1.5 cups strawberries, .5 cup yogurt (Post workout)

note: I ate greens with meals 3 and 5

Notes:

Keep at it. doing rows after squats seems weird. I'll stick with it though. Not worth just doing PP's on Sunday and moving Bench to Monday (although.....)

Mucho cardio tomorrow
