My plan for the weekend was to work the new pair of Metal Ace briefs I got some more and to focus on my triceps and shoulders....
Saturday
box squat - straight bar - straight weight - box set at parallel - wore Metal Ace briefs
worked up to 700 for 4 singles in new briefs
500 for a double
put on old Metal Ace briefs
500 for a single
reverse hypers
6 plates total for 4 sets of 8 controlled reps - weight was not swung more than 90 degrees
Dimel deads with dumbbells
worked up to 150's for 3 sets of 5 reps
I was off today. My squat didn't feel right and the weight did not move at the pace it should. I'm changing my warm-up pace with the thought that it will save energy for my opening squat. So far it seems to be a negative idea....more to come as I work through that.
Sunday
push press - boxes set at the side of the bench to pause my elbows on
worked up to 315 for 5 sets of 2 reps
dumbbell bench
70's for 10 reps
90's for 10 reps
115's for 10 reps
chin - ups
bodyweight for 2 sets of 5 reps
bodyweight plus 1 chain for accumulating resistance for 3 reps
bodyweight plus 2 chains for accumulating resistance for 2 sets of 5 reps
standing military press with angle bar
worked up to 2 plates per side for 3 sets of 5 reps
I attempted 2 plates and a quarter per side but couldn't lock them out so that was a failed set
battling ropes
1 superset
Upper work felt off today too. Just not a good weekend. I need more sleep and calories....
