5x5x118.5kg -- That's not a typo, I went up 3.5kg instead of 2.5kg, in the hopes of being able to make 5x5x122.5kg next week. Given that the last 2 reps of each set were bigger grinders than last week, and that I almost didin't make it out of the hole on my very last rep, I may have overestimated where I can be in a week's time. Oh well. Maybe I'll meet halfway and go up 3kg next week. Micro-plates are handy.
As an aside, I feel it worth mentioning that since I've only been doing heavy back squats on Saturdays, my concept of a week has changed. Instead of weeks being a straight line across from Monday to Sunday, my weeks are now circles. Technically, Thursday is the closest thing I've got to a weekend, in the sense that I don't have anything inherently planned for Thursdays, but they don't feel very weekendish. But Saturdays and Sundays don't feel very weekendish now, either. This isn't a complaint at all, just something I've been feeling. Saturday feels like the first day of the week, because the day in which you put your highest priority lift is the start of the week (thus why Monday is international bench day). Monday is the start of the week, because it's Monday...and because it has half my uni classes. Wednesday is the start of the week, because it has deadlifts, but deadlifts also make it the middle of the week. In conclusion, my week is a circle.

We had a new member in today, and some loud rockish metallish music while I was squatting, which made me happy.
'I may have overestimated where I can be in a week's time.'
ReplyDeleteStill worth a go I expect. See how you feel.
Iron mixed with heavy metal good. Sensation of head spinning because you have lifted more than you expected in fit of musically induced agression can be amusing too.
