Starting Strength, 3/24/12, Workout A

Squats:
Tom: 390x2x1
I saw this coming. I might, *might*, have been able to do 3, but all throughout the warmups I felt like shit. My body didn't want to hit depth and I could actually feel a little soreness in my adductors and lower back. I'm going to repeat this weight on Wednesday. I'm moving deadlifts earlier in the cycle and I hope that three days off after heavy pulling will be enough to make it so I can squat by the end of my weekly cycle. If not, I'll probably reset and do something very similar to Madcows. I'm pretty much at the end of the road when it comes to Noviceish squat programming.

Tony: 255x5x3 SSB
Pretty much a smoke show and these were WAY below parallel. SSB squats are basically like super high bar squats.

Tim: 255x5x3
Didn't want to hit depth sometimes, but otherwise perfect. Yelling always works.



Press:
Tom: 147.5x5x3
Pretty hard. Not hard enough that I'm afraid I'll stall next workout or anything, but I'm closing in on that.

Tony: None
Tendinitis. NSAIDS treatment is almost complete. He'll be back soon.

Tim: 120x5x1, 117.5x5x2
First set looked like a 5rm so we went down a bit. Then it looked too easy. I think I pissed him off by lowering the weight, lol.

Deadlift:
Tony: 305x5x1
Easier than 295 because he did this before squats. Okay form. More rounding than I like.

Tim: 355x4x1
He barely missed this. Of all places, it got stuck right above the knee. He's resetting to 315. Once he gets back to 345, he'll go by 5s.
