Recovery Day
(Did warm ups before each exercsie with lighter weight, as always)
Squats
5 X 155
5 X 155
My legs were pretty tender from Monday's squats, but they didn't feel too bad ripping off these 2 sets.
Standing Over Head Press (I've seen a few places that suggested standing as you need to use more of your core to lift so thats what I did)
5 X 115
5 X 115
5 X 115
Chin Ups -wide over hand grip (Body weight til failure)
4XBW
3.5XBW
4XBW
I was actually shocked at how few I could do, maybe im still sore, but on the negative I completely straightened my arms, I don't think I always used to do this, so it made them a lot more difficult
Back Extension (I actually read it wrong and did reverse back extensions...oops)
10 X BW
10 X BW
10 X BW
Overall I feel pretty good, I did feel some what weak on the chin ups, but as I"ve mentioned I think I used to kind of cheat before and wouldn't fully straighten my arm The over head press felt pretty good and my legs are def tender, will need a lot of rest to take full advantage of intensity day.
