Beautiful day so far =)
Today is one of the first sunny days of the year. It’s still cold, but at least it isn’t depressing. *grin*
I had classes at 8:30 and 10:00 this morning. In my finance class we got our first midterm back; I got 63/64 (98.4%) on the exam, so I was riding pretty high from that going into my workout. As planned, I upped my squat to 280 lbs. I’d lowered my deadlift to 275 last time around, so I also boosted it up to 280. I wasn’t confident, as I still haven’t gotten around to getting chalk, and I sincerely doubted my grip would hold out for 5 reps. Amazingly, everything went smoothly. That isn’t to say things weren’t incredibly difficult (they were!), but I was able to complete every set today with strong form.
Yay!
Today’s workout
Squat - 280
DB Press - 95’s
Deadlift - 280
I’m pretty happy with how things went today. I can tell I am starting to reach the end of the fast progression. I will likely have to reset my lifts soon, and before long I see myself moving into a linear 5×5 program. However, I will milk what I am doing for every last lbs before I do anything new =)
