Week 2 - Madcow5x5 - Day 3A

Squats:

5 x 115 5 x 140 5 x 170 5 x 195 5 x 230

These were pretty hard.  I felt some soreness pain from my quads near my knees when going heavy on the last set.

Bench:

5 x 65 5 x 75 5 x 90 5 x 115 5 x 125

These were alright.  Felt like I was, again, using my right arm more than my left.  Felt the burn in the right triceps.

Rows:

****5 x 65 5 x 85 5 x 95 5 x 115 5 x 125

These were particularly easy.  Again, made sure that I slowly lifted bar off ground and then exploded upwards to my chest.

Accessories:

Weighted Sit-ups:

12 x BW 12 x BW + 5

Second set was difficult.  Was cheating a little when sitting up by using momentum.

Weighted Hyperextensions:

12 x BW 12 x BW + 25 10 x BW 10 x BW

Not bad, my knees were hurting when doing them with weight.
