Week17 - Day48A - BBQ Stuffed
Weight: 187.6 lbs
Went out for a lunch to a BBQ joint with development team at work to celebrate our major software release. Had a platter of pulled pork with a side of bbq beans and cornbread. Super stuffed!
Squats: 3x5xBar + 5x150 + 3x175 + 1x195 + 3x225
Decided not to go for my real target workweight. Was short on time. Will make an attempt at 5x255 come Monday.
Bench: 3x5x10 + 5x75 + 5x95 + 2x115 + 1x135 + 5/4/3/3/3 x 150 (3)
Stalled on the bench again. This is the third time. I will deload 10% for the next bench workout which means I will do 5x5 at 135 lbs.
Rows: 5x135 + 3x135 + 2x135 + 3x5x160 (1)
Not sure if I want to keep increasing the weights on this as I saw myself lifting my torso quite a bit. I'm moving closer towards doing an upright barbell row rather than a strict bent-over barbell row. I'll consider this as a stall. Stalling should not only consider failure to achieve a desired number of reps achieved, but also failure to maintain proper technique and form.
Accessories: Pull-ups: 2x2 + 6x1 Dips: 3/2/2
Pull-ups weren't bad. Decided to get to 10 reps total. I was able to do 2 sets of 2 reps. The remaining 6 reps were done 1 set at a time. Doing the dips hit my right chest pretty hard. My unbalanced load on the bench- causing me to work the right chest more- carried over to the dips.
