Bothell Barbell: 4/21/12
Squats:
Tony: 275x5, 1 + 205x8
Tony hasn't lifted in quite some time, about ten days, and he has been dealing with some injuries. This was a little too ambitious of a starting weight. I had him do a back-off set just to get some good volume in. He'll do 265 next time.
Tim: 275x5x3
Tim has missed around 10 days as well due to the flu. These were okay. He has some issues with back angle.
Tom: 425x5
Each set is getting harder and harder. I wasn't really happy with my depth on this set. In fact, most were a bit high, I think. My shorts made it hard to tell. I need to focus on KNEES OUT on Wednesday for 430. I think I'm gonna do some light squats on Monday to get things dialed in form-wise. I've been skipping them.
Press:
Tony: 105x5,5,8
Wasn't sure how much he'd lost so we had him AMRAP the last set. He'll probably go back to 115 for the next workout.
Kevin: 105x5, 115x5,9
My friend Kevin was able to make it for the second half of the workout. He was doing push presses here.
Tim: 115x5,5,11
Same deal as Tony. This was a pretty awesome set.
Tom: 160x5,5,4
I lost this one because of the same reason as my bench. I don't know what's going on, but my right arm has somehow become weaker than my left. It started on my second set, my left arm was able to lockout it but my right arm wasn't. I think it is related to dips. I'm probably gonna cut those out.
Deadlifts:
Tony: 275x5
Might have to back off here. He can do this easily, but he's losing extension on every rep.
Kevin: 275x5
Power Cleans:
Tim: 135x3x5
Lots of things to work on. Tim is slow getting under the bar after the second pull. He needs to fix that and his cleans will be golden.
Tom: 170x3x1
I started doing these and I could just tell it was a bad idea. The reps were "easy", but I could feel bad things starting to set in after the set. For now, until I switch to intermediate programming, I'll probably do cleans/deadlifts alternated on Mondays (my Wednesdays).
Chinups:
Tom: 245x5x3 /w orange light band
Not much to say. This was +5 from last time.
