Congrats to Terence, Vit and Misael on the meet! Great to hear it went well!

Out of town on a conference, so here's the workouts I did before I left

Tuesday
(ran late from work, very tired)
Bench:
275 x 5, 5, 5, 4 + 1f (gassed)

Pin Press:
275 x 3
285 x 3
275 x 3
225 x 5, 5

Incline Bench:
80 x 8
85 x 8
90 x 8, 7


Thursday:

Squat:
405 x 1
435 x 1
455 x 1 @ 8

My right hip was still bothering me, so I switched to olympic stance with no hip flare. I also put on my suit as a briefs to add some tightness. 455 was easier than i expected, given the awkward stance.

Conventional Deadlift:
225 x 5
315 x 5
405 x 2 (owww)

Accidentally had the belt loose on the 405 and my right side started hurting. Very frustrating. I will probably start back with block pulls and work my way back to the floor on these.

Block Pulls:
405 x 5
455 x 5, 2
225 x 18, 22

Tried to get a pump on the last two sets to flush some blood in. These felt good though.

Finished with some sled dragging and hamstring curls.


Friday:

Bench:
295 x 1
305 x 1

3-board:
345 x 1
365 x 1
375 x 1
385 x 1 (PR?)

Felt pretty good on the 3-board. I think i could've done 395, but decided to stop early.

Push Press:
135 x 5
165 x 5
185 x 5, 5

Todd suggested push presses as an alternate for plain standing press due to the carry over from increased bar speed. I hadn't done them seriously before, but I think I will rotate them in to see how it works.

Tricep Extensions:
15s to 40s x 8

Worked up slowly. My right elbow tendon still feels really bad with these, but if I warm up slowly it's almost manageable.
