First workouts.
Squat sucked. Still nursing a tweaked groin a little bit, but also my squat stamina just blows. Ended up scrapping the bulk of the workout for that day after I struggled too much. Also decided to start incorporating squat into other days as well so I can work on my endurance with the movement (squat more often = getting better at squatting).
Squat - 3 x 5 x 185
1 x 8 x 185
2 x 3 x 205
Box Squat - 2 x 5 x 135 (groin was bothering me too much so I stopped)
Standing Calf Raise - 3 x 15 x 180 >superset> shrugs 3 x 15 x 180
Leg Extension - 3 x 10 x 100 >superset> Leg curl 3 x 8 x 50
Straight Leg lying toe touches - 3 x 20
Bench day was way more satisfying - I also started eating more and noticed a difference in my energy level:
Bench Press 1 x 8 x 145
1 x 8 x 165
2 x 4 x 185 (I didn't have a spot so I was a pussy about reps)
Bench press - 2 x 6 x 165 >superset> Close grip bench 2 x 6 x 135
Seated Mil. Press 3 x 8 x 95 >superset> Pull over complex 3 x 8 x 65 (8 skull crushers/8 pull over/8 CG bench w/ EZ bar) >superset> Upright rows with plates 3 x 8 x 35
DB Flyes - 2 x 10 x 25 >superset> V spread toe touches 2 x 20
Workout felt great. I didn't do pushups because my chest/shoulder were so tired I couldn't even do one rep by the end of the night. Trained plenty hard.
Today was going to be a rest day but I decided to head to the gym and get in some squats. I at a shit load for dinner the night before and ate a bit breakfast. It showed in my energy level and weight. I used a 55 lb bar and it was pretty comfortable. I felt pretty strong, though I kept the reps low for the most part. My groin pinched a little bit once I got to 215.
Squat - 1 x 8 x 145
1 x 4 x 195
1 x 3 x 215
1 x 2 x 235
1 x 2 x 215
1 x 4 x 195
2 x 8 x 145
Front Squat - 1 x 10 x 55 (bar)
1 x 4 x 125
Current weight: 197 lbs.
Will probably rest tomorrow, but next workout is dead lift.
