Deload Week My training program calls for a deload week just in time. The body kind of feels do for it and a week off before testing makes sense.
I am starting to try and cut some weight and reduced carbs further. So the diet is high protein and high fat and while not counting carbs I am trying to keep them to a minimum. So I am feeling lightly off while the body adjusts to the changes. Next week I should be a little more tuned in.
Squats - Not much to say tonight. Concentrated on getting depth and adjusting my stance to best suit me hitting depth.
Bench - 5 sets of 3 didn't really sound like a deload but in the end it felt good while still taking some work... my form was a little off until the third set and then it felt more dialed in and the bar found its groove.
Cable Pull throughs - with the hips feeling a bit rough I decided to pass on the RDLs but go ahead with the cable work. I really needed to get the posterior chain stretched out. The reach back gets a great stretch and the hip pop is good for the deadlift.
I spent some time answering questions on bench pressing for a couple of young guys who were having some problems. One guy was able to add a few reps to his sets with just a couple of tweaks. It is always cool to see some one making progress..
