Week 3 Volume day
I had to make up my normal Monday workout because work kept me too late and there wasn't time to get it in as normal. I have started got to the gym pretty much right after work instead of after dinner and getting home too late screws up the schedule.
Anyway, I got to the gym and got right into it.
Squats - felt just a little of tonight. not heavy but tight in the hamstrings on a few reps. between sets I really noticed it as the beginning of a cramp that just didn't quite get going. In watching my videos I see from the back that it showed up. So I need to make sure to get good stretching on the hammies to avoid this next time.
Bench Press - felt good tonight. The weight isn't very big yet but the volume was good. Still need to concentrate on the hold at the bottom and get just a bit more. I guess I am going to need to actually count to 2 in order to get it right. I have plenty of time before my next meet so this will go up nicely on the way there.
RDL - Definitely need to keep these going to build the back. I could feel the fatigue in my lower back after squats but it rested up during benching so I was good to go. Tried to keep the cues in my head, butt back, shoulders back, keep the bar back on the legs and stop looking up so much. I need to remember that the head needs to be more in line with the spine. If it needs reinforcing I may need to get a tennis ball to hold under my chin.
Cable Pull throughs- 3 sets of 12 here gets some work in on the lower back, hips and hamstrings. Reaching way back helps get some stretch on the hamstrings.
