Wednesday 10/27/10

Deadlift
380x4

Military press
135x5

Comments: Couldnt get 5th rep of 380

Excuses:

1) Only got 2 hours sleep and had morning pt this morning
2) deadlifted on friday, probably too soon
3) that big cut in my hand made it super hard to grip the bar

As for military press, its been 2 weeks since I pressed last and I wanted to go back a little instead of trying 1x5x145

Burpees: 50 in 3:42

Comments: Im back home this weekend, so this workout was at my old gym. Bench went well, I could barely get 225x3 the other day. I'm tempted to think that maybe the weights at my old gym are a little lighter, but the exact same thing happened before, where I could barely do 220x3 then 2 days later I got 220x5, so idk. Ididnt do db rows because my old gym doesnt have heavy enough db's. Burpees were hard but fun as always (ha)

Also, have a new avatar picture. Check my profile for the bigger version it's pretty cool

good work. How did that 230 x 3 felt for the bench press? Was it heavy or did it go smooth?

well its weird because every 3rd workout (the ones where i do sets of 3) it feels heavy as shit, but then i manage to do it for 5. Like 215x3 felt heavy, then i got it for 5. Then 220x3, then 5. etc. 225x3 was literally my max, i barely put up the 3rd. Then I got 5 2 days later...... Whatever I'll take it haha

Its your mindset, subconsciously you knoe you only need 3 reps so you don't put in as much effort. Whereas subconsciously on your heavy day whether you like it or not you will be pushing yourself much harder to get the weight. I went through the same ish.

Dude.....that makes a lot of since you are right. I hadnt though of that. The last 2 reps on the set of 5 are always a bitch
