Thanks Eric. It's been so long since I've done incline BP, I've forgotten what weight I've used on it before. I'd have to go back and look at old journal posts. Compared to flat bench, I thought I was going easy with 175 lb.
Today, I continued my super slow comeback on squats. It was a step back from my previous squat session, because for some reason my legs felt very fatigued from the moment I stepped into the gym. I wanted to stay 100% in control of form, so I kept it super super light.
Tuesday 7/15 - Workout A
Baby Squats:
45 lb x 10
45 lb x 10
95 lb x 10
115 lb x 5
115 lb x 5
135 lb x 5
135 lb x 5
Yep, that's all.
Standing BB OHP:
45 lb x 15
45 lb x 15
95 lb x 6
115 lb x 5
115 lb x 5
115 lb x 5
120 lb x 4 - PR
125 lb x 1 - PR
I'm feeling better and better about OHP, not arching my back near as much as I used to. Felt like I could have done 125 for a few reps if I had jumped up to it quicker instead of doing those three sets at 115. Next time.
Lying Leg Curls:
80 lb x 10
80 lb x 10
90 lb x 8
95 lb x 5
95 lb x 5
God, I hate these. They feel useless since the hams aren't exactly a "show" muscle, but I know I gotta do them to improve ham strength for squats and deads. I'm gonna start experimenting with RDL's next week.
Pull Ups:
3 sets: 10, 8, 8
I love pull ups. Hard to believe it's been almost 2 years since I quit doing them due to elbow pain. Before the tendinitis set in three sets would have been something like 18, 15 and 12. So far, no elbow pain. At the first twinge, I'll stop doing them. Don't wanna go through that again.
If I make it to the gym tomorrow, I'm just going to do some accessories that I've skipped lately. Face pulls, calf raises, flys, lateral raises, and shrugs.
