Week 23 - Day 64A

Squats:

5 x Bar 5 x 135 3 x 155 2 x 175 3 x 5 x 195

Squats were really good.  Narrowed my grip width and made a really tight shelf for the bar to sit on.  Upper back was definitely getting worked more than usual.  Breathed into my stomach.  Split the floor apart, had a fairly wide stance.  Box squatted again.  I think I'm going to continue box squatting.  Had no back pain.  I'm just not sure if I'm going down enough.

Bench:

****2 x 5 x Bar 5 x 55 3 x 75 2 x 95 3 x 5 x 120

Bench was pretty easy.  Narrowed my grip and tucked my elbows.  Arched back sufficiently and pushed my legs into the ground to put the load across my upper back.

Rows:

****5 x 95 3 x 5 x 120

Pretty easy.  Pulled into my lower chest / abdominal area.

Accessories:

****11/4/3 x BW + 7.5 - Banged out 11 reps on the first set.  Pretty fatigued on the last 2 reps

3 x 10 x 10 Reverse crunch - Not too bad.  Core endurance has definitely improved since I've started doing core.
