Barbell Medicine Strength I: Week 5, Day 2
Competition Squat (Belt, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, wrist wraps)
1x375@7.5 (new e1RM for this cycle, 412 lbs - 186.9 kg)
5x340@9
3x5x320@7.5, 8, 8
-Went back out to the squat rack in the main gym that allows me to get my grip wider. This was helpful in getting the bar into a true low bar position vs that in-between I'd been in. Weight moved a lot better as a result. Plus all the Thanksgiving food
Touch-n-go Bench (wrist wraps)
1x295@9 (overshot this one a touch)
4x265@9
4x4x242@8's across
-I was psyching myself out working with pounds again. It's not a big change, it just kind of threw me for a loop on the bench.
2-Count Paused DL, beltless (pause @1" off the ground)
5x255@6.5ish
5x275@7.5
5x275@7.5
5x275@7.5
-These are a new exercise so I had to get used to them a touch for this week. Next week I should have more accurate assessments.
Squat moved great today. As that was the focus of today, I will definitely take it. Now that I have a better feel for numbers with kg's, I'm going back out to the main gym to lift again instead of locking myself in my little dungeon in the back. Sometimes even I like having some people around (even if it's dumb high schoolers).
