Coached yesterday after work so made this up today. Good times!
A. 115-145-165-195-225-235-250-265-275-285lbs(F) – No PR but super happy with it. I haven’t done heavy doubles or singles in a while but lots of 5×5’s. I think I have a PR in me right now just could not quite dig in to that “see through time” place. On the positive side, 275lbs did not make me see through time.
B. 9:55 – spicier than expected
C. Done

A. Done: Psoas Pulse have been ‘good’ because I have been a little sore the last week or so.
B. 95/115/135/165/185/195/205/215(not sure it was deep enough) Stopped here as groin was sore on most of my lifts today. Play it on the safe side!
C. 6:34 but rowed for calories rather than using the Assault bike
D. Done

M/A done
A – 135/165/200/230/265/285/300/315 (Good news: groin held up to 315. However, stopped just short of PR territory. Not taking chances.
B – 8:05 @115. But gym owner took the Assault bike home and replaced with Schwinn. Not even close to the same thing. Assault is much more difficult. Time would have been a lot worse.
C – Done. 70# DB row, 55# DB incline, wheel roll outs.
Taking weekend off – coaching both days at 5th grade basketball tournament.

Tough work week, so combined Wednesday & Friday a little today.

A. Back Squat x10 sets. Got up to 365# which tied my old PR. I could feel a form break coming, so I stopped it there.
B. Jerk sets from Wednesday. 235#, which is a PR by 10#. Felt good!
C. Did 24:00 of the 30:00 grinder. Finished all except 2 rounds when I lost my DUs. I’ll be real happy when this workout is removed…

A) 185# (5#PR) Yay!
B) No Assault Bike so Row Cals 11:12 (75#) I think I went a little too hard on the first row and it hurt me overall. I think I’d hold back just a bit next time at least on the first row.
C) 25# DB for rows sets of 10 (really concentrating more on the contraction; Incline bench with 30# DB’s for sets of 8; Rollouts I did using a barbell 10/10/7 (liked this one a lot)
**Really good training week for me…eating more and I think it’s helping me a lot.
