Rippetoes 5/5
So, today’s workout went like this:
Squats - 3×5×245
These were easier than I thought they would be. My lower back was pumped as hell, though. I don’t think it’s a form issue, I think my lower back may just be lagging. I will have to do another vid.
Bench -
1×5×190
1×5×190
1×2×190
Well, this is the first time I have stalled. I expected it, but it still pissed me off. I even tried to go back and finish the last set, but only was able to do 2 more. My chest was screaming. I wonder what will happen next workout.
Deadlift - 1×5
Yeah, whatever. Easy as hell.
Dips - 2 x 8-15
No problem here except that my tricep right by my elbow hurts now…well, it hurt earlier. Pain is gone now. I had my elbows flared out and knees up, trying to isolate triceps. I guess I’m not really strong enough for all that yet. I will use a more standard form on these next time.
GHR - xxx
So, looks like I can’t really do these at home. I thought I could use my dip station, but it started sliding across the floor. I will need an alternative.
Abs
No problem here. I did the NS situps from the Rippetoe’s guide. I was shaking like a leaf, though. Probably the squats and deads.
