Woke up this morning with a bad cough, which is what I get for dragging a sled in the cold without a coat. Didn't have to work today because of Martin Luther King Day and my son wanted to go practice basketball with his friend, so off I went at 11: 45 - - - no rush.
Flat Bench Press w/One Pair of Chains: 55x3, 75x3, 95x3, 115x3, 135x3, 155x3, 175x3, 195x1. The 175 triple was smooth and the 195 was, too. Just not fast enough to go for a 195 double.
Close Grip Bench Press w/One Pair of Chains: 125x10, 125x9
Superset:
T-Bar Row: 80x3, 95x3, 115x3, 135x3, 160x1 (1RM), 95x12x4.
DB Lateral Raises: 9 sets repped out with 6 lbs. Top set was 16 reps and low set was 9 reps.
Nautilus Nitro Front Pulldown: 105x12x4.
EZ Bar Curls: 80x6x5.
I was gonna do snatch grip deadlifts, 270x6x5, but after yesterday I just didn't feel it in me. So for 30 minutes I just played Around the World. My shot has become really effortless, so much so that I have to adjust it or I'll overshoot it. In the back of my mind, I kept thinking of the deadlifts and measurement on Friday and whether I should bag it or not. I decided to go for it but only up to a 3rm, and just take my time to get there. I felt as if the previous plan might be too much.
Snatch Grip Deadlift: 165x3, 195x3, 225x3, 255x3, 295x3, 325x4. That last set had me stoked: I hit a 4RM with 275 on December 20th, so this was big for me. And my grip was like glue. My wheels are turning and I'm very seriously thinking of gunning for a 400 lbs snatch grip DL before I leave for Djibouti. That's 5 weeks, if my body lets me.
