9/5/14

To be completely transparent... I drank 10 beers last night from 6 pm to midnight... wasn't the best I've ever felt today. Trained around 2 pm instead of the usual 5 AM. Split jerking felt like shit. Cut out the met con because I couldn't do a strict HSPU after all the lifting... Just had to call it. Tomorrow is another day. This is definitely the reason I didn't drink for 10 months last year... it just takes away that next level of performance. On a positive note, squatting felt freaking amazing.

A.
Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes:
Back Squat x 1 rep
*Sets 1-2 – 245#
*Sets 3-4 – 295#
*Sets 5-6 – 325#
*Sets 7-10– 355#

-355# felt like nothing... Great stuff. So stoked to be squatting again.

B.
Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes:
Push Press x 1 rep
Loads per set (by %): 55, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 95+, 95+

-Complete off of 260#.
-135#, 165#, 185#, 205#, 225#, 225#, 225# 245#, 245#, 245#. Skipped a little bit around on the %s... did a few extra reps at 225# than the smaller jumps. Felt good in here. Last rep at 245# was tough... didn't go for the PR.

C.
Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes:
Jerk x 1 rep
Loads per set (by %): 55, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 85, 85, 85, 90

-Complete off 290#
-Only went up to 90%... lowered %s ... were supposed to mimic the B %s ... lots of the reps were 85% (245#). Hit one single at 90%, 260# ... but it felt rough after the push-pressing.

D.
Close Grip Bench Press Pyramid - 8,5,3,5,8

-135#, 165#, 195#, 165#, 135#. Sold pump, felt shitty after the above pressing.

E.
Sling Shot Bench - 4 sets of 10

-135#, 3 sets @ 165#. Solid pump, wanted to get in some volume.

F.
EMOM 6:
5 Strict C2B Pull-ups

-This felt like ass... body was fucked. Tomorrow is another day...
