Friday: Humble [Strength... or lack there of] Pie

Warmed up with some stretching and some presses and thrusters @ 90#.

1. Hang Power Clean & Press -- wanted to do 4 x 5 x 135 but this was the best I could get rep-wise:

• 2 x 4 x 135
• 3 x 3 x 135
• (cranked another 5 reps @ 90#, might have been able to do another 1 or 2 3-rep work sets, might have been worth making up the failed sets with more low-rep sets)
  

2. Deadlift -- wanted 3 x 3 x 315 but didn't bring powder and was too sweaty to maintain the grip at that weight (bar was slipping all around, and I have the blood blisters to prove it)

• Warmed up @ 135 and 225...
  
• 1 x 2 x 315
• 1 x 1 x 315
• cranked another quick 5 x 225

3. Barbell Rows

• 5 x 5 x 135

4. Bench Press -- wanted 5 x 5 x 135, got:

• 3 x 5 x 135
• 2 x 4 x 135

BLECH!!!



The ab soreness came into play a *little* on the OHPs but mostly on the benching (go figure) - def felt it a lot there. Not as much as when I did ONE pull-up tho (core is INVOLVED in pull-ups apparently - who knew?)

Get at these same weights next time where the 5-reppers were failures and kill the DL with the powder. Try to go heavier on a few reps with the C&P tho to make sure there's still some muscle shock.
