Gym time has been spotty this week due to work and being down to only one vehicle for the household. I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night, so I wasn't feeling quite as strong as I was Monday. Benchpress was fine -- a warm-up set of 10 slow pause reps at 135 pounds followed by a 90-second rest and a 5 rep set at 205 and finally, 5 sets of 3 at 230 with 3 min rests. My 1RM as determined Monday is 265, so I'm working at about 87%.
I had planned to test out my 1RM on squat but just didn't have the leg strength today. I did 2 squats with 265 pounds on my back, then realized about halfway down on the third one that if I went all the way down, I'd be stuck lol. I racked it and bumped it down to 255 then took a break. Came back and still couldn't squat it without my legs being shakey and my knees hurting -- a sure sign I'm not quite up to a good leg workout today. I decided to skip the deadlift then as well.
I went straight from there to military press, doing 5 sets of 3 at 155 pounds. Since I skimped on squat and skipped deadlift entirely, I had a little time left. So I found a rack made for doing triceps dips and some sort of abb thing and did a set of 3 dips then sprinted a lap on the track (1/10 mile). I did 4 more sets of 2 dips and 1/10 mile sprint each with 2 minute rests going from sprint to dips.
I fell thoroughly exhausted now -- but also super relaxed. Wife's coming to pick me up from the gym, and it's slow roasted pork loin, butter beans, and salad with parmesian garlic dressing for supper! (then bed)
