Tuesday: TMS Volume Day #1

Squat: 5 x 5 x 205

OH/Push Press: 5 x 5 x 105

Barbell Row: 5 x 5 x 135

Weighted Dips: 3 x 5 x 10

Weighted Pull-ups: 3 x 5 x 10

Weighted Back Extensions: 3 x 10 x 25 (ow -- at the time, the hams get strained but i know i is gonna feel it in my back meat)

Quick core: v-ups, various crunches, leg lifts, chinnies, non-weighted russian twists, side plank holds (2x on most of these)

Weigh in: 177

Hardest thing was back extensions - mighta hurt myself a bit there and then exacerbated with twists or something b/c side/back hurts a bit. This was nostalgic from the 5x5 beanslift days. Everything was easily doable but felt a *little* strained on final set so I guess I started on good weights - not my max 5x5 weight probably but good start for building program.

Get creative and get some interval work in next two days. On Friday Intensity Day, max out on the lifts and then tackle the dumbbell bear, the 50 man maker challenge with increased weight or some sort of circuit with man makers in them (Burpees, Man Makers, knees->elbows, sit ups maybe?)
