Today, I didn't eat a ton - I had a great breakfast but nothing else - and then just before my workout, without any lunch, I washed down all my vitamins with pre-workout... not a brilliant move on my part. Got a heavy set of 5 squats under my belt, and then promptly threw up violently in my drive-way. What? Of course I went back to finish the workout... why would you even bother asking??
Still going strong with VooDoo Joint-Flossing like crazy, so we have been able to persist with Low-Bar Squats. Monday Squats absolutely smashed me... I lost count on the last set and ended up doing seven reps and was wasted with exhaustion the rest of the day. After that, Wednesday DL also smashed me. By Friday, I was not ready to work out again -my body was sore, tight, and exhausted - so we waited until today. So, two decisions come from that: 1, no more ten pound jumps for DL (which means next week I will NOT be going for 405x5), and 2, we are going to a Texas Method inspired plan for the Squat. So, today we went up 5lbs and did 1 set of 5. Then on Monday we'll stay at that weight, and do 3x5 (not 5x5, as TXM says to do - ain't nobody got time for that!). Wednesdays we haven't been squatting, but now we'll do a light triple as a pre-DL warm-up. Then, up 5lbs for another single set of 5 again on Friday. Like I said - inspired.
Dumbbell Bench is still a ton of fun, and is improving.
Press is getting harder... micro-loading may not be enough, I am not sure.
We're adding Farmer Walks to Press days, and nixing Conditioning days for a while.
