Week 27 - Day 74B

29 Nov 2011

Squat:

5 x Bar 5 x 165 3 x 185 2 x 205 1 x 225 5 x 245 PR

YEAH BUDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! NEW PR!!!  Belt definitely helps tremendously.  Had a bit wider grip, I tweaked my shoulder this past saturday while boxing.

Press:

5 x 45 3 x 65 2 x 75 5 x 87.5

Still not bad.  Narrowing grip helped a lot.

Deadlift:

5 x 175 3 x 195 2 x 215 5 x 235

Still pretty easy.  Used chalk.  Alternating, overhand-underhand.

Accessories:

5/3/2 x BW x Chin-ups - Pretty hard still, but a lot easier than pull-ups on the crappy pull-up bar with weird grip positions.

3 x 45 sec. x Prone bridge - Not as hard as before.  Used my iPod to keep strict track of time passed during work and rest.

4/7/4/8/4/7/4/8 x HIIT - Going to start doing HIIT cardio again to start cutting back and aiding in getting my caloric deficit.  I feel like my metabolism has definitely slowed down and my weight isn't moving much so the extra cardio should help.

Getting pretty heavy.  Recovery is definitely slowing down again.

Bench:

2 x 5 x Bar 5 x 85 3 x 105 2 x 125 5 x 140

Extremely easy.

Clean Progression:

5 x 3 x 85 Clean shrug 5 x 3 x  85 Front squat

Accessories:

10.5/5/4 x BW + 12.5 Dips - Pretty difficult, I'll see what happens when I jump up to 15 lbs.
