Monday Strength (and plan for next few strength workouts)

First time back in gym in like 3 weeks...

Hang Power Clean and Press
  • 7 x 135
  • 2 x 145
  • 10 x 90
Not the best continuation of last time I tried this. Was going for 8 or more on first set of 135 but was lazy on the 8th rep and twisted my wrist funny causing failure :(

Deadlift
  • 5 x 135
  • 3 x 225
  • 1 x 315
  • 1 x 405 FAIL
  • 1 x 405 FAIL
I was going straight for the business here to get my PR but was falling short. I want 400. I can taste 400. If I do Deadlift first at the top of the workout, I will get 400. (First lift was max effort.)

Finished workout with some bullshit curls and raises. I was tired and pressed for time, both!

Weigh in: 184

RX for next few strength workouts:

Next one
  • start with TGU max effort (aim for PR -- 75 or 80)
  • Pull ups and Dips
  • MAYBE Rows
  • Do some serious arm work after
One after that
  • start with Deadlift max effort again... get the PR (even if shy of 400)
  • Squats 3 x 6 x 225 (to warm up the muschles and get back in for max effort next week)
  • MAYBE Bench Press
  • One set handstand push ups for max reps (1, 2, whatever)
One after that (next week)
  • start with Squat max effots (go for 1RM/PR)
  • Power Clean and Press (go for 8 x 145, then 155 to fail, clean up with 10-15 reps on lighter weight)
