Thursday



1. Squats

1 x 5 \ bar
1 x 3 \ 60kg
20 min PR Zone @ 112.5 kg
6 x 2 = 12 Reps total


Workout stopped after 10 minutes, my left elbow and shoulder were not happy.  Elbow is still a little sore now.  I'm defiantly feeling i've moved in to the overtrained feeling rubbish zone.  on top of left shoulder / elbow body is feeling generally run down.  so the plan is rest until monday then cut PR zones down to 10 minutes and see how things go

10min PR Zone

Thanks, actually matched my PR for a full deadlift, and given i haven't deadlifted in a while i'm pretty happy

Great workout.  Was supposed to be incline press last, but i felt i'd done enough pushing work, so switch it for pull ups.  Everything was focused on an explosive concentric phase.

After the passing of a friend and a related trip overseas to provide support to my best friend i am back home, back to paleo eating and hitting the gym tomorrow.

Maybe the workout will help with the jet lag

Sort of time today so a little cut down

Clean and Push Press

Triples (warm up): bar, 30 kg, 40 kg

singles: 65kg, 70 kg, 72.5kg  (160 lbs)

Triples: 55 kg, 55 kg
Doubles: 62.5 kg, 62.5 kg, 62.5 kg

Had more to spare on these :D



Squats

Triples (warm up): bar, 50 kg, 70 kg

Singles: 120 kg, 130 kg, 132.5 kg (292 lbs)

Triples: 115 kg, 115 kg

Had to call it a day there due to time pressures.  Not overly impressed with squat strength, used to be able to do 140kg+ for a triple, although that was with a belt and knee wraps which have both now been drop.  Sure it'll come back
