Tue Sept. 4 BW: 142.6 +17.6 lbs since starting
Warm-up: Did some light stretching and reintroduced the samson stretch along with the usual 10 OHS, 10 pushups, 10 situps, 10 dips, 10 pullups and some mobility exercise.
Squat:
45 x 5 x 2
95 x 5 x 1
115 x 3 x 1
145 x 2 x 1
205 x 5 x 2
205 x 3 x 1
I noticed the squat getting tougher to do each workout so I think it's time for a reset and a double check on rest and diet.
Press:
45 x 5 x 2
55 x 5 x 1
65 x 3 x 1
75 x 2 x 1
100 x 5 x 3
Finally figured out what was wrong with my form and blasted through this one pretty easily but for the past couple of weeks I have found an issue with my left wrist getting an electric shock everytime I bring the bar down from overhead. This only seems to be an issue with the press and im not sure why it's happening.
Power Clean:
55 x 5 x 2
65 x 5 x 1
75 x 3 x 1
85 x 2 x 1
110 x 5 x 3
Crunchs: 3 x 12 (55 lbs)
Pullups: 1 x 12 (BW) 1 x 9 & 1 x 8 (25lbs)
Dips: 3 x 12 (35lbs)
All in all not bad and I expected a stall soon with the squat anyways which is why I did 205 instead of 210 or 215. Im planning on switching out back squats on thursdays with front squats and I'll just progress slowly with the back squat so I can keep good focus on the other movements. Another option is just working out 2 days per week and see if I can gain more weight faster. I was shocked to see how much weight I gained in a week. It is real motivating.
