Leg drive sucks, as always. My leg strength all around is just piss poor. I didn't spend enough time "greasing the groove" on warmups, as I was in a hurry and wanted to get all 25 reps in on deadlifts. I was hoping to run up to a top set of 3 on push press as opposed to 3x5, which I normally do. I can do 3x5 w/ 150 so was surprised that I missed the first triple at 155. I figured i had 160 in me no problem. My shoulders may be a bit tired from Saturday's benching. Maybe. But leg drive is crap.

Week 17, Wed. (workout 2)

Squats

2x210
2 singles @ 215
drop 5x185
drop 5x165

Pullups

7 sets of 5x5 lbs.

Bench (not worth mentioning . . . crap day for presses)

Shrugs

15x315
drop 8x275

Weak day all 'round. Probably due to being tired for the past few days. I'm rotating rep ranges on squats and to a lesser extent on other things. I'll be moving through 3x8, 5x5, and then maybe 5 singles or something like that. We'll see if progress increases.

Week 17, Sat. (workout 3)

Squats

5x5x195 (2.5 away from old PR; not too bad actually . . . I think rotating rep ranges and fluctuating volume is helping)

Military (shoulders still achy so skipped bench)

4x135
7x135 (a little push at the bottom, heh heh)
drop 2x115
drop 7x95

Row

5x5x180 (+2.5 PR)
drop 10x145 (b.o.)

A decent workout, fueled by Lamb of God and 37 Amped2.0 caps.

Push Press

Damn...you are a proportionately freaky push presser.....and don't sweat tendonitis in the knees, I have pretty much had it since '96, lol.

 

[Protobuilder]

Yes, my claim to fame: two lifts that don't suck too bad. LoL Rows & ohp

Honestly, 105lb skullz are nothing to sneeze at....thats a 45 on the end of an EZ curl bar, right??? That would garner a bunch of stares and respectful nods from the Under Armour crew.
