TM Week 1

Monday
5x5 squat (265-275-285-295-305)
5x5 bench (145-150-155-160-165)

Wednesday
2x5 squat @ 275
3x5 press @ 130 (should have been lighter but I wanted a pr tie off the LP I just stopped)

Friday
5RM squat @ 345 (fail: 4)
5RM press or bench (skipped it)
3RM deadlift @ 435 (like a boss)
 
So this was a good learning experience.  I have to chill for 2-3 weeks now, but I have a better idea of how to work out the logistics for my training.  Wednesday is the only day I can workout at lunch now unfortunately.  I'm also going to track my protein day by day when I start back up, though I'm pretty confident I'm getting well over 200g daily, not counting shakes.  I think I was a little greedy with my 5RM squat for the first week with an ascending sets volume dose...I failed and got pissed.  Then I got pissed when I saw the cluster of jersey shore boys in a line waiting for the bench, so I deadlifted and bounced.  Intensity day is going to have to happen after work, lesson learned.

Supple leopard is awesome, I'm only through the first 2 chapters, but it's super legit.  I'm going to get so much reading done while I'm couch-ridden next week...

  2. just realized I never got back on here to answer...minor surgery, no biggie but the incision is going to be on my tailbone so hip flexion would pop the stitches if I get back into shit too soon.
