Wk7 De-load: Prilepin Bench/Back

Close Grip Bench Press (200): 45x3, 60x3, 75x3, 95x3, 100x3x8. Done at lunchtime.

Nautilus Nitro Overhead Press (140): 70x10, 90x8, 100x8, 90x10.

T-Bar Rows (157): 75x10, 100x8, 115x8, 100x10.

Decline Tricep Extensions (80): 40x8, 50x8, 60x8, 50x10.

Ultra Wide Sumo Deadlift (315): 135x2, 155x2x12.

After the workout, I felt great. Not dead tired, but raring to go for even a game of basketball or a jog (I shot some hoop when I got home.). Refreshing . . . just what the doctor ordered. I kept my exercise selection simple, and my speed on the main movements was good and crisp.

Looks good. Just heavy enough to feel it.

Not next week, August 8th. Deload week ends August 3rd, then I'm going to take a few days off. My vacation starts August 8th, so I have nothing on my mind but. I know I'm good for 215 so I will do a few warmup sets, a single at 90%RM, a single at 105%1RM (4 big boy wheels . . . LOL), and if I have a little bit left I'll go up 5-10 lbs and attempt one more.

Scott, I kept the assistance movements heavier (70% 1RM tops)so I wouldn't lose much. I felt pretty good this morning.
