Weight: 225 (after gym, dinner). Time: 2:00?
Shorter day, pretty easy.
• Squat 45x10x3, 135x5x3, 225x3 (50), 275x3 (60), 315x3x2 (70), 360x2x5 (80)
All work done in the monolift. Heavy sets belted. Everything felt relatively easy.
Got some tips from Carlos on my squat. He told me I need to arch much harder through my middle back and start the squat from the hips. He said my squats looked much better that way, and they felt "ok". But I felt like I was unable to get any kind of abdominal pressure in that position.
• Bench 155x3 (50), 185x3 (60), 215x3x2 (70), 245x2x3 (80), 260x1x3 (85)
Pretty easy, don't really remember this all that well to be honest.
• Dumbell flies 30x8x4
• Lunges bwx15x3
To help with adductor feeling sore.
So is the date you've listed the date you completed the workout or the day you've logged the entry? Cause the latter is kinda redundant, and well...the 12th is only 2 hours old.
ReplyDeleteWhat belt would you recommend Nate? I'm starting to get scared of my cheapo velcro belt popping off in the middle of a set and me dying in a horrible squat accident.
ReplyDelete@ Shanker: That should have been 8/10. I fail.
ReplyDelete@ Gordon: Check elitefts.com or any of the sites off powerliftingwatch.com. Just get a powerlifting belt. It should cost around $70 or something.
Gordon -- make sure that the belt you are buying is not too thick. Should be <= 10mm. Sometimes putting on a 13mm belt is difficult, especially when it's new.
