Not much to report this week, it's just been a complete fail. Had to take Sunday off due to spending the whole day doing physical work, it had no energy after a long day in the sun. Tuesday, I was still kinda feeling the effects, I still feeling dehydrated and today was the day that I felt "normal". A lot of missed lifts this week, pretty much no progress.
Weight: 165lbs
Current Weight ( Max Lifted) Max Attempted
Squats: 170 (180) 185. Lowered the weight, I know I said I wouldn't count last Thursday's workout towards the lifts, but I figured I might as well. I've been playing around with how to do this. I've been lifting on a foam padded floor and I decided to rip it out to see if it was detrimental to the lift. Just trying to determine if it affected the heel drive. Then I checked out if shoes on or off, high bar or low bar and lastly width of stance. Good learning experience as I figured out how I want to go low bar, shoes on, stance a little over shoulder width with a slight angle with the feet. With that I didn't feel any pain in the legs nor back, so hopefully it carries over when trying to progress.
Bench: 140 (135) 140. Shoulder is holding me back, trying to progress fast on this is not going to happen.
Overhead Press 95 (90) 95. Dunno what's wrong, last week at 95, I got 5-5-5-5-4. This week was 5-3-4-4-4.
Pendlay Rows: 115 (115) 115. Not much to say, loaded weight previously from 115 because form was shit, this time thought I feel it was better but the later reps on the later sets I feel don't go as high as I want to. Will still move on and see what happens.
Deadlift: 265 (255) 265. Got 1 rep at 265, could get the bar up anymore, lowered it to 260, got 1 rep....
So it's been a real struggle this week. Hopefully next week will see better results.
