Starting Strength – Week 3/Day 3 (5/15/2020)

So this workout didn’t end up happening, and while at first I found it frustrating on 5/15, and thought about pushing the workout to the weekend, I got more comfortable with the idea of just skipping it entirely. This is one workout, and it won’t set me back by skipping just one. I can’t make it a habit or an issue that effects consecutive training sessions, but it’s acceptable. Besides, after 3 weeks of pushing fairly hard, I could do with a little de-load and rest, and that’s just what I did…well sort of.

The twins’ birthday was on Sunday, so we spent all the free time we had on Friday (during and after the workday), and then all day Saturday getting a bunch of things set up for the kiddos to have fun. So, in my opinion, totally worth it!

Here’s what was planned, and what I will be doing on 5/18 instead.

A1. Low Bar Squat – 3×5/5/5+ @ 285lbs

B1. Bench Press – 3×5/5/5+ @ 170lbs

C1. Conventional Deadlift – 3×3/3/3+ @ 295lbs
