Okay, I was reaching for that title. Hopefully it caused some eye rolls and groans. So, today was an all around good/fun day, not just in the gym. Once again, squats are making small progress and while I did do a bigger jump than I had intended just because I wanted to see how I would handle it, I'm glad I did. On my final set of doubles I went to 275, which once again, isn't much. It was funny, on my 3rd set of 225 I had the thought "I should do 275 on my last one to see how I handle it." After loading it and getting myself ready I stood at the rack for a moment like "Yep, this is the one that's going to kill me, not going to be able to walk again for 12 weeks." Did the lift anyway, handled the first one so well I told my partner "Okay, stop spotting me and check out my depth" Turns out as deep as I was hitting 185-225 so I'm happy, well as happy as I'm capable of being. So I'm good with that. It was a good simple day, just a decent amount of squats and one accessory, plus one set of Phillips curls for punishment.
Squats 135x6, 185 4x2, 205 4x2, 225 3x2, 275x2
Glut Ham Raises/Hyper extensions x8 each one with a static hold at the top. I do a lot of posterior chain work, but holy hell those static holds really fire up my glutes and hamstrings.
Phillips curls 20/25lb dumbbells. Got my bicep work in for the month now!
