Day 1 Week 5 (warmup for test day)
Squat - 135 x 2, 225 x 2, 275 x 1, 315 lbs x 1
Bench Press - 135 x 2, 185 x 2, 210 lbs x 1
Deadlift - 225 x 2, 285 x 2, 335 lbs x 1
Pretty smooth sailing day. Squat single was tragically high but I’m not too fazed. Something to work on. Bench felt smooth although I dislike having to do it in the squat racked with the unfixed bench and guessing the rack height. 210 was smooth. Deadlifts, also a breeze.
Overall, happy with today and the set up for tomorrow. May just let the squat be and go after Bench and Deadlifts since there’s no point in doing a high squat or worrying too much to where it affects my other lifts. 315 felt fine with some technical irregularities, however. I do want to work on the bar coming forward in the bottom and do some unilateral work to even out my hip mobility. I feel I put more work on my right side.
So my next cycle, which has been planned more on the volume side with an LP for squat and bench and a different cycle for deadlifts based on the trends I’ve noticed in my past training. I’ll have plenty of practice to remedy the squat issue.
