Week of September 30th

Today is two for one with posts!

9/30

Deadlift
135 x 5
225 x 3
315 x 1
365 x 1
385 x 3
405 x 1

18" Deadlift
365 x 3
395 x 3
395 x 2

2nd week in a row of disappointing pulls. 385 was slow and I couldn't lock out the second rep at 405. It's frustrating, but coach things I might be overtrained a bit. So next week will be a deload on deadlift and then we'll do singles the week after. Hoping to get 450+!

10/2

Bench Press
Bar x 8 x 2
95 x 5
135 x 2
155 x 1
175 x 3
190 x 2
185 x 2

2 Board Press
175 x 3
185 x 3
190 x 1

A bit of progress. No way that third rep at 190 was happening, but I'm still happy with 2. I was pretty fatigued after that, so 185 was no fun. Singles next week!

10/4

Squat
Bar x 8 x 2
135 x 5
225 x 2
265 x 1
295 x 3
320 x 3
325 x 2

Squat w/ Reverse Blue Band
405 x 3
425 x 3

I think I would have had that last rep at 325 if I hadn't just done 320, but we were working on depth. Still happy with the progress though.

10/5

Seated Shoulder Press
Bar x 8
65 x 5
95 x 2
115 x 1
125 x 3
135 x 3
140 x 2

Bench Press
135 x 10 x 2
145 x 8 x 2
155 x 6

Then did some upright rows, chin-ups, facepulls. Seated press is up a little and volume bench went pretty smoothly. I think I need to work more chin-ups into my routine. Coach doesn't like them much, but I suck at them so that's no good.
