Started with C&P bench. Warmups felt good, although it was hard to get into a good position and stay tight cause I'm just used to different stuff. Hit a bunch of warmup reps though, and then went to 190. The 10 x 3 was still pretty easy, and I took the sets without much rest just cause I felt like pushing. On the 10th set, did max paused reps and got 6, which I am pretty happy about. It was a tough set but really solid and awesome.
Next, strict press 5/3/1 went well. Hit 115 x 5, 130 x 5, then 150 x 6, which is a PR and I'm happy about that. It was a good set too, I didn't have another rep in me, BUT it also wasn't a true "Max effort" on that last rep. Which is good. Hit 130 x 9 after (I just BARELY failed 10, made me mad) from a dead stop, and then 115 x 8 or so from a dead stop.
Eric Lillibridge looks fucking awesome in this picture.
Next, did some pendelay rows with 115. Did 3 x 10. These actually felt awesome. I might start playing with these more.
Next, did just a little more pressing to finish off the triceps - hit 115 for a set of 10 presses, then grabbed my 25 dumbell and repped that out each arm for a max set.
Finally, grabbed my light straight bar (about 30 lbs), and did a set of 100 curls with it. It was awesome, my biceps exploded. Definitely gonna fool with these more, especially on fridays. Paul Carter and Poundstone, I may be joining your high-rep shenanigans more permanantly.
Overall, a pretty great day considering that conditions were different than I was used to. I'm really pumped to FINALLY be able to lift on a saturday, for the first time in weeks. Lets keep at it.
