I'm a day behind on these. Monday I was kinda hurting, my back was tight and couldn't get loose. Monday's truck wasn't bad, but for whatever reason I felt gimpy so Monday was some really simple/easy biceps work. More importantly on Monday my friend Magdalena trained with me. She decided she wants to give powerlifting a go so Monday was her first attempt. Put her through the 3 main lifts to get some numbers to work some percentages with. Honestly I thought I'd have to correct her a lot but I was really impressed. Mostly just going to require a few form tweaks and I think she'll be amazing. Squatted 170, benched 75, and deadlifted 205. So those numbers are pretty awesome, after a bit of time working on form and explosiveness she'll be kicking even more ass. Okay, that's more than I've ever praised anyone, so lets talk about me. Tuesday was my speed bench day. Shoulder felt okay, but I still kept it kinda easy. Kept everything at sets of 2, 225, 245, 265, 285, 305, then 315 for 4 sets of 2. Felt good, ended with a burnout of reverse grip benchpress with 135, not sure how many reps it was in the 30 range before I knew I couldn't get another.
Lets flash forward to tonight, tonight was ME deadlift day. Damn tonight was good. I'm about 16 weeks out from my next meet, so working at 90% of my 1rm, ended up doing block pulls for 5 singles with 510. It felt pretty awesome. Finished with chinups 4 sets of 5. I'm working on keeping everything nice and simple right now. Anyway, my sleep has kinda gone shitty after a week of really good deep sleep. But eh, I'll live, it's what I do. Other things are going pretty amazing so that's always a plus.
