Low carbs started today so can't use that as an excuse. I was coming around to not re-setting, I don't want to over-react to one bad session. Thanks for confirming what I was thinking.
Wednesday 23 January 2013
5/3/1 Wave 4 Week 1 Day 2: 1's
Warmups - Skipping - 100 reps, various stretches.
Bench
1x5 50kg/110lbs
1x5 62.5kg/137.5lbs
1x5 72.5kg/159.5lbs
1x5 82.5kg/181.5lbs
1x5 95kg/209lbs
1x10 107.5kg/236.5lbs
1x15 82.5kg/181.5lbs
10 reps with 107.5kg was brilliant. I got 5 reps with it on 12 December but I wasn't pushing the reps then because I hurt my elbow.
Close grip bench press - 350 method
1x18 60kg/132lbs
1x17 60kg/132lbs
1x16 60kg/132lbs
51 total reps. Up to 62.5kg next time.
This was a big improvement on last week. My chest and triceps were pretty tired from bench and from the DB bench yesterday so it's all good.
Between every set of bench I did
Neutral grip pull ups
10x3 assisted by blue band
First 6 or 7 sets were pretty solid, really found it tough after that.
Leg raises
3x10 BW
Supersetted with...
Face pulls
3x15 No 12 on cable stack
Leg raises were for a change from the ab wheel, and I also want to start incorpotating hanging knee raises/leg raises and this seemed like a good starting place.
First day of low carb today. It's been solid. Very little carbs (<20g) but I'm possibly a little low on protein. I had a snack at 4pm but I think I need to turn that into a full blown meal to get more protein in.
