well,....
the past weekend was the 9th week of the westside program so i was shooting for a new max in the bench press and squat
as my luck has it i caught a minor cold the previous week because of which i left out the last DE squat day in order to save my strength for the 'big day'
two weeks ago (in case anybody remembers my post) i managed an easy 105kgs on the bench, this past weekend i was stuck at 95kgs,.... 97,5kgs shot off the chest but then got stuck there like 10cms off the chest....
i don't know what went wrong, i blame it on the cold and on bad set up (i think my grip was too wide)
my new squat 1rm is 137,5 kgs which is unbelieveable!
i'm sure i could have got 140 but my psyche reminded me how much weight this actually is while i was down in the hole starting to ascend...
so, after 8 weeks of westside:
bench from 82,5 kgs to 95kgs
squat from 120 kgs to 137,5kgs
now i'll relax for the rest of the week, maybe some gpp or med ball exercises and the next week i rerun the program a second time
