I got up on Saturday morning a little later than I had expected to but I think it was well deserved and needed rest. Either way, I got up and went to the gym with the expectation of working out, getting some work-work done, and also getting my most recent Advocare delivery which contained some fruit punch & pink lemonade Spark.
I arrived at the facility at 9am, turned the lights on, the music on, and checked my e-mail. Did some e-mailing and worked some things out and after about 40 minutes decided to get going on my lift. After a brief warm-up I started out with MP.
MP: 135 for 5x3 with wrist wraps
This was difficult for me, I think I might have over estimated my actual max. I have a rough estimate of where my squat total is at as well as my bench so determining the weights I've been working with for those two lifts has been easy. It has been ahWHHile since I've done any OH pressing - so I ball-parked my max. Bad choice. Last week 120 for 5x5 (75%) was do-able. This week called for 5x3 at 85%, 135. Like I said I made it through but not very "do-able." Difficult-able. After that I did some upper body accessories work with some light p.chain...dizz-ang...I forgot to mention on Friday I put up a big number for me, 405x10 pin rdl with no straps. That was a big lift for me. I was pretty jacked about that.
I am looking forward to this weeks lifts. It'll be the first time doing single work with my rep scheme. I have a feeling power cleans are going to be atrocicious. The key to successful attempts are going to be a proper general warm-up and good warm-up sets.
It is time for a walk with my beautiful wife on this beautiful day!
