The last workout really left me feeling tired and sore. Must keep that in mind when I find more than 2 (in this case, 7) days between weight workouts and return to the same max weight. Since I was still feeling sore for Mon's workout, I dropped the squat to 150lb.
Squats
Points to consider
- Was able to get by with just 3 min rests. Nice to take up less time!
- Playing with keeping my elbows more down, under the bar and pulling towards each other. Didn't notice much difference yet.
Overhead press
Points to consider
- 80lb
- Successful reps: 5, 4, 4, 4, 4
- No vid due to busy gym area :\
- Sometimes I still screw up the coordination of hips moving and bar going up
- The first rep always feels hard, but if I keep a steady pace after that the set feels manageable. However, sometimes I feel the need to take two breaths and that throws off the pace
- Allowing the bar to feel as if it is falling back towards my nose is how it feels on my most effecient feeling reps
Deadlift
Points to consider
- 180lb
- Felt good and pretty casual
- no vid due to it being busy and some guy who kept talking to me even as I was lifting: odd
