Volume night 14 July 2014

Volume Night - I am still feeeling some of the effects from the last intensity day. The big benching and last weeks over head presses have left my arms and shoulders feeling fatigued. The only area that is slightly sore is my traps (besides my hip and lower back on the left side which is always sore). I think this is a sign that the CNS is taking a beating and a rest is coming due. Both @Kenneth McLean and I have been hitting it hard for weeks in competition prep and it is time to taper down and recover for the big meet.

Squats- tonight went ok but keeping the head in the game was a little bit of an issue. Things felt kind of heavy but i got my reps in no problem. I had to concentrate to keep count of my reps which is not a great sign.

Bench - the arms and traps were tired, not really sore but still feeling last Friday's big bench session. My form held up nicely and I got all my reps in but i am glad we are going to start changing up this Friday

Pin Presses - These went fine except i lost count on set 3 and only did 4 reps. I did an extra set of 5 to make it up.

RDL- for some reason these felt heavy, maybe because everything else is wearing me down?? duh. Still got in the good reps but happy to be done for the night. Really trying to keep the bar back against the shins and work on deadlift form.

Right now being careful not to peak too early is a concern but we should be sitting just about right.
