Sept 23.
Back after a 5 day lay off. Not on purpose but sometimes life (aka work) just gets in the way.
Felt weak as hell today and it was a real struggle to get to the gym, but feel alot better now that i’ve gone.
5 min walk.
Squats (high bar)
45 x 10, x 10
135 x 10, x 10
185 x 10, x 10, x10
on the first warmup set i noticed my knee’s have a tendency to wobble out of the bottom, and also noticed i’m going maybe a little too deep on the squats as i’m letting my back round at the bottom. Spent all these sets focusing on not rounding my back at the bottom, and keeping my knees from wobbling. tried to “push the floor apart” with my feet and that seemed to help the knee wobble.
Pendelay Rows
45 x 10, x 10
135 x 8, x8
155 x4, x4
really focused on not cheating with my back for this.
Deadlifts.
135 x 5
185 x 5
235 x 3
265 x 3 was really struggling with grip at this point, so i switched to a mixed grip for the next set.
265 x 5
265 x 2 grip started to fail almost dropped bar
265 x 2 same story.
not sure if my hands were just sweaty, or if they were tired from the rows, cause i normally don’t struggle with grip at this weight. Think it was from doing the rows before hand.
Bench press.
45 x 10, x10
135 x 8 x 8
155 x 8
175 x 7, x 6
135 x 4
stretch’s with bands.
10 min walk.
weight today was 182, was as high as 191 again 2 days ago… realizing alot of my weight gain i think is water weight from the creatine maybe, cause i always go down like 8 or 9 pounds when i don’t take any sups or work out for a couple days.
