Volume night
I missed working out last night due to work keeping me late. So tonight I was going to get there for sure and get my work in. Also, I have had a lot of interruptions in the gym lately so I decided to go back to the hoodie and went with headphones rather than earbuds. I worked well, I didn't have people wanting to shoot the breeze all night long.
With a chance to concentrate things went really well. This was one of those workouts where you end up with shakey hands when your done and you know you put in the work.


Squats- these felt good tonight, better than they have in awhile. Reps went smooth and everything kept tight. We'll see how the heavies go on Friday

Bench - I adjusted volume on these to 3 sets of 5 reps for work sets. Not a bad weight for sets and they went well. I need to work on getting tight all over and get more leg drive going. When I got tight reps went up better. Bench is feeling pretty good right now.

3" Deficit deadlifts - These are to work on the bottom of my deadlifts. I elected to go more for volume on these instead of any big weights. When I was warming up I just decided to go for 10 reps and see how things went. After 2 warm up sets I went with straps to concentrate on getting work in on the lower back and hamstrings. I didn't worry much about a hard lockout either. I did try to keep a flat back and the bar back and close to my shins.


Cable Pull throughs - Getting a good stretch out of these on the hamstrings and back. I just wish there was a faster way to get things stretched out.. I'll get there in time...
