I wasn't planning to do an intensity day but what the hell:
Squat 425lbs 1x5 (pretty easy; could have something to do with my sweet new knee sleeves)
Press 165lbs 3x5: 3/3/3 (stuck here for 3 workouts, probably go back to TM style programming again)
Deadlift 315lbs 4x3 (just wanted to get some volume in, back was pretty straight).
I got these rehband knee sleeves recently and they are awesome. It keeps my knees really nice and warm and after squatting today there was no knee pain. Also, I think they are tight enough to add maybe 5-10lbs to your squat, but most federations allow them. They are $42 for one, so $84 for a pair (dunno why they are sold separately).
I will be resting until wednesday, when my friends and I are going to do a mock meet where we hit our openers. Meet is this coming Saturday! Wish me luck.
nice squat, i'm jealous.
ReplyDeletesup yang. good luck at your meet. let us know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteyang, what size rehband did you order?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI got the X-Large. My coach had a pair of larges for me to try and it was too small. My thighs are about 27" fyi.
Good luck dude
