Weight: 214. Time: 2:30.
I can't imagine a worse set of circumstances to do a heavy day. So that being said, I'm extremely happy with these results.
I was having weird irregular heart beat last night that distracted the hell out of me and made me only get 4 hours of sleep. Then I called to make a doctor's appointment and they told me to go to urgent care. So I spent the whole day basically getting tested with various apparatus, before being told I was 100% OK and it was probably just heartburn.
But I'm moving this week and I also have a paper deadline so stress was pretty much at the max. Not a good day to go heavy.
• Squat 45x5x2, 135x5x3, lungesx15x3, 225x3 (50), 275x3 (60), 315x2 (70), 365x2 (80), 405x1 (90), 425x1 (95)
Belt only. Felt pretty good. 405 was very easy. 425 was slower but still manageable. My right knee wasn't happy after 425, but it wasn't terrible.
Murph (TPS owner) told me he was 'seeing lots of things' I need to fix on my squat. He said 'fix a few things and you'll squat 100 more pounds.' I'm going to look into this after this meet. It sort of ties into my current plans anyway. Murph: 'You have access to every piece of training equipment in the world now. And you aren't using it. Sheiko doesn't make sense, it's too much volume.'
• Bench 155x3 (50), 185x3 (60), 215x2x2 (70), 245x2 (80), 275x1 (90), 290x1 (95)
Used belt and wrist wraps. Got press command from Carlos on the last set. Not as fast as Dee's, but didn't slow down on the way up either. Felt good.
• Deadlift 135x5x3, 275x3 (50), 335x2 (60), 385x2x2 (70), 445x2 (80), 495x1 (90), 525x1 (95)
495 was super easy and fast. 525 was also easy, but I lost my arch a little bit. I felt very good about both, though.
" He said 'fix a few things and you'll squat 100 more pounds."
ReplyDeleteHe wants you to put on a double ply suit :-)
Don't die on us man...
ReplyDelete@ Kik: Ha, maybe. But that sounds more like single-ply. I squat at least 1100 in double.
ReplyDelete@ Frank: I'm probably just paranoid. I've had the same thing before and gone in to have it looked at. Both times my vitals and EKG were normal. I probably just can't recognize heart burn. I have none of the risk factors for heart disease except being male, and I'm way too young for it. In summary, I'm fine.
I have an echocardiogram in September to make sure, though.
I thought heartburn was a gastrointestinal problem (the ejecting of stomach fluid into your esophagus). What does it have to do with your heart? Are you sure it's not something else?
ReplyDeletePlus, not to freak you out, but I'm sure you've heard of Jesse Marunde (sp?), strong dude, dead before his time because of heart problems. At least your history's ok, since I assume your family is fine.
Ha, well, yeah I've heard about him and all that. But I'm doing everything I can to get it checked out and so far I have no abnormal symptoms. So they scheduled me for the echocardiogram which should put things to rest one way or another, but since its no emergency (I seem fine, right?) it isn't going to be for a while.
ReplyDeleteAs for heartburn, it gives very similar symptoms to heart attack/other problems. To be more specific, general indigestion like gas can make the heartbeat seem abnormal just because of changing pressure, even though the heart is just doing its normal thang.
Anyway, until the echo I am just not going to worry about it since its just unproductive to do so.
Nate -- did you have a huge meal right before sleeping? Not that long ago, I used to eat: 1 plate pasta + 1 plate chicken breast + 1 plate salad + 1 plate fruits + 2 yogurts + 2 glasses milk, just before bed. Don't ask why, it's also a mystery to me. Then I felt on the verge of a heart attack.
ReplyDeleteI had a big meal earlier in the evening and I think it was also just a lot of stress during the week that upset my digestion.
