SHEIKO #7, Reset Training Maxes


Time: 1:45.

  This is my first day after resetting my training maxes to 435/285/540. I did this because I feel I was definitely capable of all those weights on the last test day and my training had felt very easy lately.

  Training @ 24 hr fitness in LA. Several ppl came up and read my program that I had printed out while I was wandering around. They haven't seen very many serious lifters, I guess.

Squat 225x4 (50), 260x4 (60), 305x3x3 (70), 350x3x4 (80)

Everything really easy. I had a big indian dinner right before training, so when I belted my last two sets, I felt like I was going to hurl. This made things more difficult.

  I don't know what happened to my squat the past few times. It has felt effortless. Especially considering today was on 1 day less rest and I spent 11 hours in a plane yesterday (5 on the runway, waiting...)

Bench 145x3 (50), 170x3 (60), 200x3x2 (70), 230x3x3 (80)

I always rest less for bench. The last few sets felt like I was actually lifting something. Usually bench is a breeze, so I was actually happy about this (even though weight only went up by 5# with reset).

Flies 30x10x5

Dips BW+30x8x2, BWx8x3

Felt a little tired on these, since they are just active recovery I scrapped the 30# after second set.

Squat 225x4 (50), 260x4 (60), 305x5x4 (70)

Everything super easy. Belted last set, felt nauseous, was hardest set (again).

Good mornings 175x5x5

Why you gotta post 3 minutes after me? Can't let me hold the top spot for at least 5 minutes? Common Nathan, you're better than that.
