Week 34 - 5/3/1 - Day 113

Cycle #6 **Week 3 Day 1**

Warm-up Press:  5x30, 3x45, 3x55** 5/3/1 Press:  5x70, 3x80, 4x85 **BBB Press:  5x10x45 Incline Bench Press:  10xBar, 2x10x65 Decline Bench Press:  10x55, 2x10x65 Core:  2xF Sit-ups Conditioning:  15min. elliptical

Pressing wasn't too bad.  Feel like I'm straining my right wrist- bar rolling back into my fingers.  Other than that, it felt pretty easy.  I think I need to try and exert myself more on the final, top set.  Did some more pressing afterwards, specifically, decline and incline benching.  I probably should invest more time in doing some more dipping...

Cycle #6 Week 2 Day 4

Warm-up Deadlift:  5x115, 3x145, 3x170 5/3/1 Deadlift:  5x200, 5x230, 5x260 BBB Deadlift:  5x10x145

Felt like I was rounding my back on the way up.  Wasn't keeping my head inline with my spine and so I ended up lifting my butt up first.  Didn't keep a tight midsection and so my chest buckled in.  Going to have to record myself again.

Cracking left knee and unstable right shoulder.  Sometimes these hindrances can play with my head.
