mab 5/3/1 powerlifting

[BendtheBar]

Warming up for Deadlifts felt really heavy, but when I got to the last set the first 8 went up really easy the last two were slower but still easy. I could have done a few more but my first DL day back didn't want to over do it.

Good call, and amazing set. I am really excited to see your progress. I honestly don't think it will be long before you start pushing for 600.

I could have gotten at least another maybe two but I just didn't want to risk it.

Thanks that is my next major goal, I have no clue though when that will happen but hopefully soon.

Now if only I could see that kind of results with the squat.

Oh and I forgot to add this to my notes I am thinking about getting knee wraps. I already have knee sleeves but in competition they don't help a whole lot. I would only use them for heavy heavy singles leading up to a meet and at the meet. The rest of the time I would just use my sleeves. The reason I am thinking about it is because since I am dropping to the 181s and going for 2 american records might as well go for the other 2.

Sure won't help to get them and start messing around. You can always change your mind if you'd like.

Notes: One of the worse training days I have ever had. I came into today feeling great did log clean and press with a lot of ease. The very next thing I do is drop a 25 pound weight on my right foot, it hurt a lot but I finished the workout. I wasn't able to really do a whole lot after that, now I'm laying on the couch with my foot elevated on ice and hoping I'm able to lift by Saturday. My mom is making me stay home friday to go to the ER to make sure nothing is broken, it didn't hurt so bad during the workout but now that I'm just sitting here it hurts pretty bad and is really swollen. Right now I can't even put a shoe on, I could feel my right shoe getting tighter during the workout so I cut it short. Just really mad at myself and just can't wait to lift again.

Notes: Felt really good today, the day before I did nothing since I could barely walk. After a day of iceing and staying off my foot I was able to walk normal and put on a shoe. I recieved my creatine in the mail today so I used 5grams before workout and 5grams after. Had a great surge of energy, not sure if from creatine or day of rest.

11/6/11
10 forty yard sprints

Notes: Foot was feeling fine again today took 5 grams of creatine before workout none after. My foot started to hurt about the second sprint in, by the time it was over it was a little swolen. Its back to normal now, its weird squating doesn't bother it but running does.

Notes: At first today felt pretty heavy but by my final set on bench it felt pretty strong. CGBP fetl really light, was very surprised. I really don't know why I did the superset, I just felt like it. Next week will not be doing that, also I am switching to 10 grams of creatine before workout and none after since I think it is affecting my sleep.

11/8/11

Deadlift
320x5
355x3

Notes: Wasn't feeling strong today, was planning on going for at least 8 reps on deadlift with 7 good ones. I know I shouldn't be complaining but still. Anyway powerclean felt much lighter than last week which really surprised me, maybe because I just did DL. Anderson Squats were much easier this week once I got into the flow of it.

Thanks!

Foot feels fine as long as it stays on the same plane of motion. Walking and squating are fine, but going upstairs still hurts a bit. It looks a lot better mostly just bone bruises now.
