Under a Gibbous Moon

I really should have a more definitive plan when I go to the gym, but I really do wing it more than I should. I pretty much decided this weekend that I am going to change my lifting schedule, so we will see how that turns out.
Squat
135 x 10
225 x 10
315 x 7
410 x 5
500 x 3
add suit straps down
600 x 3
straps up
705 x 2
I was planning for more. Either just doing 1 with 705 then going to 750 or doing 3 with 705. This didn’t work because on my second rep I got forward out of position and I really had a grinder getting up and decided to not go for a 3rd. Luckily it is still light enough that I can muscle it up as long as I don’t screw it up too bad. We got to the gym late and it was already 11 pm, so I didn’t do any accessories except for unloading the barbell by myself.

While I wax sentimental. Today was my daughter’s first birthday party.

She really enjoyed her cake. Sure she got most of it on her and the ground, but, hey, it’s her party.

One, two, three… awwwwww

Ok, Wednesday I went over to Macomb and benched heavy. I decided to wear my tight shirt. It wasn’t a great session, but it lets me know that I am going to have to lose 2-3 lbs if I am going to use it effectively. Warm up was shoulder circles as well as waving 10 lb dumbells around in various directions.
bar x 20
133 x 10
220 x 10
308 x 6
407 x 1
add shirt and 1-board
565 x 1 x 2
full range
585 x almost, missed at top
add 3-board close grip
585 x 2
remove shirt, close grip
308 x 13

I’m still too big for this shirt at my strength level. I was having a really hard time touching the 1-board and then the full range. About 3 lbs lighter and I should be able to touch the 565 if I am patient. When I touched the 1-board I pressed it easy enough.

Thursday- easy day. I just went in and did box jumps again and then some accessory work. I don’t remember exactly what I did, but I worked up to a 41 inch box for two sets of 8 jumps. For accessories I did the GHR and leg extensions back to back for 3 rounds.

Now with 10% more racism!
