Week 7
Weight: 161-162lbs
Squats: 175lbs. Up 10lbs from last week. Felt very good, sweating like a mofo due to the heat.
Bench: 125lbs. No change. This time around though 125 felt solid. More on this below.
Overhead Press: 80 (85lbs max). This one was a true deload, Hopefully next week will hit 90lbs.
Barbell Row: 100lbs (115lbs max). Deloaded on this too, I felt the reps at 115 were shit! Rather work on form.
Deadlift: 225lbs (240 max). Had to lower weight on this too, 250 was just too intense. Grip is very weak at this weight (250)
Today was my first time using chalk. I was going barehand to help develop calluses and get that natural grip. Holy shit chalk was fantastic. My hold on the bar was very tight. Noticeably on Rows, where later reps my grip would slip. Can't wait to chalk up on deadlifts.
Also, I think I've posted previously that I have a pretty bum left shoulder. So I've gone back to doing mobility work for shoulder and rotator cuff everyday. I think it's paid off somewhat. Unracking the weight during the bench, no longer hurts shoulders and doing 125lbs today was very clean reps.
