10-4 Cycle 2 Week 3 Bench

Bench 2x5@45--5@135--5@175--3@200--4@225+4 spotted
BBB 5x10@115
DB Lateral Raise 2x12@20--10@20
BB Curl 11@80--6@80--8@70

Great day in the gym, had a really good spotter, a physique competitor who is a cool dude. Got 8 on the money set but honestly I have no idea how much he was helping, that said I don't feel the slightest bit guilty crediting myself with 4 reps for a rep match +5lbs from last cycle. Took 2 scoops of Condense today and was so pumped I could see my front delts through my t-shirt. Overall a big confidence booster and good workout. Added 2.5lbs on my DB raises and almost got 3x12, put another 10lbs on first couple sets of curls and really got my biceps good. Can't wait to squat tomorrow!

Thanks buddy, it definitely wasn't all me today but I don't mind getting some forced reps in since I have deload coming soon. Thanks for following.

10-5 Cycle 2 Week 3 Squat

Squat 5@45--5@135--5@225--3@290--5@320
BBB 5x10@170
SLDL 5@135--2x5@225
Seated Calf Raise 20@90--20@180--20@270

Kind of an unfortunate set of squats today, when I unracked the bar the left side bounced off the top of the bracket that holds it and it took me a second to recover, I should have just reracked and started again. After the 5th rep I was seeing stars and a bit dizzy, I tried to compose myself for another rep or two but at that point it was over.

Thanks a lot man, I know I have more in me for squats than that though. I should have paid more attention to my breathing and I wouldn't have gotten light headed I don't think. Appreciate the support.

Adventures in squatting. Those 5x10s becoming a royal pain yet?
