Friday, July 6

didn't get out of work till 7. It never fucking ends......

FRIDAY JULY 6

push press: barxmeh 135x3,3 155x3 185x2 205x1 225x1 245x6x3 --felt kind of blah. But maybe with all this leg work I can't expect a good PP? managed a rebend on a few reps. If it gets hard to lock out, I will start rebending. short downstroke seems to help. Good leg drive. this worked my back, so I am going to do some extra low back work tomorrow.

squats: barx5 135x5 185x3 225x2 265x1 285x12x2 --first 4 or so *felt* ragged, but were pretty good. Then I moved my stance in so as not to tear my damn adductor off, and the squats TOOK OFF. All the rest of the sets were good. Down controlled, up fast. Remember: shoulder width, shoulder width, shoulder width!

close grip 4-board: full range warmups to 225x1 295x3x5 boards. 245x5 (hard) full range afterwards

power shrug: 365x10 (EZ) 385x10 405x10,10. 405 for all 5 sets nex week, then add 10-20 a week till I can't pop it anymore. This is straight up for all 7 weeks. I plan on training some assists hard during the "intermission" week. These felt great, btw.

pulldown SS with decine situps: narrower grip x 10,8,8 heavy and 35lbs for 3 sts of 10

eating all my fruit to carb up tonight. up early to hit the supp store tomorrow.

Not bad, for week 1. Gotta hold together. Squats will get damn tough.
