Wednesday Training

Late night training (midnight-1:30). Had a cup of double-bagged-ultra-steeped green tea pre-workout and it kept me going strong. Tastes like shit, but once you get past the vomit taste the caffeine makes you want to jump through a wall. Anyhoo:

  • Squats!
    • BW x 10
    • 45 x 10
    • 135 x 5
    • 225 x 5
    • 315 x 3
    • 350 x 3
    • 380 x 1
    • 430 x 0 (no squat, just walked out to feel the weight)
    • 350 x 3
    • 385 x 1
    • 350 x 3
    • 385 x 1
    • 350 x 3 
    • 185 x 10
  • Behind-the-Neck Press (strict, no push-press)
    • 45 x 10
    • 75 x 8
    • 95 x 8
    • 105 x 8
    • 95 x 5
    • 95 x 6
  • Pull-ups (variety of grips)
    • 10
    • 10
    • 10
I also spent about 30 minutes doing some yoga at the end, interspersed with the pull-ups. Last time I tried supersetting the pull-ups and presses, but my shoulders couldn't keep up as much. I think I may try supersetting squats and pull-ups next week. While I know it's important to stay steady and keep on my program, I feel a little variety is A-OK. 

Next workout I'll be doing weighted pull-ups and dips. Still trying out different methods of programming there. I used to simply work up to heaviest I could do, then back off to sets of 3. Last week I tried at pyramid 1-2-3-4-5-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps at 25lbs. I think this week I'll do that again with 27.5. At this point my weighted dip feels stronger than my pull-up, but I'm sticking with the same weight so I don't have to go messing with my belt.
