Feb 13/11- DE Squat, Shirt Bench, 5/3/1 DL Day
What a great way to kick off a training week...Had a pretty rough week previous so this session required a ripped freak, also I knew I had lots of housework to do after training...
This was my first 3 lift session, as I had decided post Provincials that I must address the fact that in competition I really screw up my bench press. Hopefully smashing some bench post squatting will help to sort that out.
DE Squat, Green bands in Metal suit 235lbs x 2 x 8 sets
-This was the first time working with bands since Christmas Eve...It took a few sets to get in the groove. Also, I am not skinny Barb these days, so it was a tad tight. As was my low back...Powered through and each set got better.
Shirt Bench
135 x 5, 165 x 3, 195 x 2
Shirt on 235 x 2 off two board, 245 x 1, low touch, 255 x 1, 255 x 1 by far the best rep of the day
-Again, being non skinny Barb, the shirt was tighter than usual.
5/3/1 DLs
225 x5
240 x5
275 x5
310 x5
-I went into this knowing that I was only going to hit prescribed reps. Focused on good form and speed off of the floor. Did some low back stretching between sets which helped temporarily. This training day will toughen me up big time.
Finished with 60 mins of cardio. I decided that I actually look forward to my cardio sessions because I can watch television and listen to cheesey music totally undisturbed.
Cardio day tomorrow, and upper day on Tuesday. Can't wait!
