2016-11-04: Fridays are hard

The worst day of the week for lifting, in my experience, is Friday.  So also this Friday.  No PRs, and not even managing to complete what I hoped to complete.  Blergh to Fridays.

Also, forgot to Bench before Squats, which probably sabotaged my last set.  It also meant I skipped Overhead Press, as I didn't want to do it right after benching, and after Deadlifts I'm pretty much Dead and not doing anything else.

Todays lifts:

Barbell Squat

5x20kg
5x40kg
3x60kg
3x80kg
3x100kg
1x120kg
1x130kg
5x137.5kg

Only one set of 137.5kg.  I've been squatting a lot recently, so a full 5x5 session didn't feel like it would be a good idea.  I'll aim for doing that on Monday.

Bench Press

20x20kg
5x40kg
3x60kg
3x80kg
3x100kg
7x4x110kg
3x110kg (failed last rep, needed help from spotter)

Almost completed 8x4x110kg.  Failed the 4th rep on the 8th set.  Annoying.  No matter, tomorrow is 10x3x115kg according to Smolov Jr.   I have a slight feeling that'll be rather challenging.  But, I'll give it a shot.

Deadlift

5x60kg
5x80kg
3x100kg
1x120kg
1x140kg
1x160kg
3x172.5kg (Almost 4 reps)
2x172.5kg
0x172.5kg (failed lift)

This was annoying.  The 4th rep of 172.5kg was 2/3 of the way up before I had to give up on it.

Todays meals

06:30: 500ml milk
11:15: 500ml milk, 20g whey.
14:30: Breadroll w/cheese, iberico salami
16:30: Protein Bar
18:30: Dinner!  Some Tesco-bought "puff pastry christmas cracker" filled with slow cooked meat.
