feeling quite a bit better today - much of that better feeling came in the form of extra strength tylenol.

if this is what my dad had, then i am expecting to be better this week, be okay for a week and a half ish and then be basically disabled for another week and a half.

so hopefully, it's not.

i'm going to drop deadlifts this week and just go on to the planned squat workout. i think doing the deads would hinder my recovery a little more than i can afford right now anyway.

5x5 Intensity Phase - Week 8, Day 3
Friday, 4 March, 2005

Felt alright, couldn't get a good sweat going during warmups - I'm still sick.

Bench Press
Set 1: 185lbs x 3
Set 2: 185lbs x 3
Set 3: 185lbs x 3

Very heavy, felt like 200, and I moved it damn slow.

Full Olympic Backsquats
These went very well, suprisingly, and my form was bang on.
Bar x 10, 95lbs x 10
Set 1: 135lbs x 5
Set 2: 155lbs x 5
Set 3: 195lbs x 3
Set 4: 215lbs x 2
Set 5: 235lbs x 1

Set 6: 250lbs x 3 + 10lbs PR

Suprisingly, this happened after the very heavy bench press... the 250 felt like 225, I might have had a 260 in me today.

Bent Over Rows
Set 1: 135lbs x 3
Set 2: 135lbs x 3
Set 3: 135lbs x 3

Nothing special. No assistance today.

i'm not as sick anymore, though there is this lingering feeling of shit.

can't wait for march break, some much needed recovery awaits.

i'm going in today to do week 9 as planned.

do you ever do deadlifts i'd like to take a look at your form for personal reference since you do everything else with pretty much perfect form.. i just started doing rldl's last week and just hoping i'm doing em right.. keep up the good work my friend..

5x5 Intensity Phase - Week 9, Day 1
Monday, 7 March 2005

This is the 4th week of intensity, 5th week at this rep scheme. I'm not sure if it is the rep scheme or the flu (though I'm pretty confident it's the flu, as I've gotten ample rest), but I feel pretty beat up all around. Plus, school has gotten a bit hectic.

Still, good workout today. I will do deads this week, but on Friday, dropping Wednesday workout again. I will do a very low intensity first week of volume to deload, then get right back into a volume phase 5x5 during march break.

No videos of today's workout, I have no access to a camera.

Bench Press
Hang Snatch Warmups
Bar x 10, 95 x 10
Set 1: 155 x 5
Set 2: 185 x 3
Set 3: 195 x 1

Set 4: 210 x 2.5 (PR attempt fail, third rep I smashed the safety on the way down... it was setup way too high. The PR was mine... damn)

Full Olympic Backsquat
Bar x 2 (couldn't get ROM), 135 x 8, 155 x 5
Set 1: 185 x 4
Set 2: 205 x 3
Set 3: 225 x 2

Set 4: 245 x 3
Set 5: 245 x 3
Set 6: 245 x 3 +15lbs 3x3 PR I decided to go for it since I only have two days this week and it's the last week before a deload..

Bent Over Rows
Bar x 10
95 x 5
Set 1: 135lbs x 5
Set 2: 165lbs x 3 +5lbs 1x3 PR

No assistance. I'm spent.
