ME Back/Bench

Legs are so sore from Monday's workout, only below the ankles doesn't. Can't say I'm looking forward to deadlifts but I should be fine. Right?

Lunchtime:
LifeFitness Treadmill, Level 3 Hill: 30 minutes of walking at 3.8 MPH, just to loosen my legs up a bit.

Evening:
Hammer ISO Row: Worked up to a 80 lbs 5RM and a 90 lbs 2RM.

Snatch Grip Deadlifts: 145x5, 165x5, 185x5, 205x5, 225x5 (5RM). Last time, I couldn't lift 225 at all, so this was a victory for me. Moreso than a strength increase, I think I now have the hang of it - - - I try to visualize a snatch as I pull. The 4th rep on the last set got slightly sloppy so I paused, reset, and got it.

Incline Bench Press: 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 155x5x5. Only the first set of 155 was done with a one second pause. I didn't have enough to pause the other sets.

Superset:
DB Preacher Curls: 20x10, 25x10, 30x6, 15x12
DB Lateral Raises: 10x10, 12x10, 15x7, 15x5

Superset:
Hammer Shrug: 90x5, 110x5, 130x5, 150x5
Pushups: 25, 15, 10, 8. Weird. My first set was the best yet, but I had nothing left for all the others.

That is quite the improvment on the Snatch DL's. Must have the form down.

Exactly that. I'm sure it's strength, too, but as it's a new lift to me with different leverages, I've had to adjust.
