So today was the first workout where I had the feeling that I was going to start hitting strength plateaus. Last week was a jumble where I trained too many consecutive days so I didn’t expect to make progress (but I did, which is always nice). This week I knew the weights were going to get to the point that given that I’m cutting weight, they would start to be a challenge. Based off of 1RM estimated calculations, I’m still moving in a moderately decent direction, but this is where the eventual stall out will probably start:
- SSB Squats – 265x11reps
- Warm-ups: 65×10, 65×5, 115×5, 155×3, 205×1, 245×1
- CGBP – 175x10reps
- Warm-ups: 45×15, 45×10, 65×10, 85×10, 95×5, 115×5, 135×3, 155×1
- HB Squats – 235x11reps
- Warm-ups: 45×10, 95×5, 135×3, 185×2, 225×1
- This is where the plateau on strength is going to start happening, since I wasn’t able to do 225×20 w/o sleeves last workout, I knew that 235×20 was going to be really challenging with sleeves. I think I could have completed this, but I really got in my own head and made excuses so I racked it.
- DLs – skipped
- I’m still hoping to get to the DLs at some point, but at the moment I had to leave as I ran out of time. Next workout is on 03/24/2017, so I’m hoping I can hit the DLs for this workout prior to that at some point.
Time to move on, and keep trying to make as much progress as I can!
