Got No Triceps

Press: 65 x 3 x 5, 60 x 2 x 5. Felt pretty good except my traps which are still suffering from DOMS. Painfull last couple of days it has been. Had hectic DOMS from last squat session too which was a slight surprise.

BW dips: 3 x 10

CGBP (close grip board press): worked up to 100 x 3. Will keep these lighter for the most part.

Bit of a Mixed Bag

Squat: 160 x 3 x 5. Didn't push it too hard, but this was a solid work out

BB Rows: 80 x 3 x 5

Shrigs: Worked up to 220 x 5. Wasn't the best form. Still feeling pretty hectic trap cramps though.

Light Press

Missed squats on Tuesday - will have a medium session tomorrow before hitting them hard again.

Today I pressed 5 x 5, 60 x 5, 50 x 5 for a light session

Benched: 100 x 2 x 2, 95 x 2, 95 x 3 (mostly all paused)

Close grip bench: 80 x 2 x 5

Close grip board press: 8 x 10. These felt so tricep intensive - loved them. Will go with these now. I've found the holy grail of tricep exercises.

BBC: 40 x 8, 35 x 8, 25 x 8, 8, 12. Sandwiched the last set with a couple sets of TCPDs.

Pump it up. Yeeeeah.

Average Squat Session

I really wanted to do something good in the gym today but I could see in the warm ups that that wasn't going to happen.

Squat: 180 x 1, 185 x 2, 180 x 1. It wasn't all bad, but I didn't have it in me to get the 190 I was looking for x a few reps.

BB Rows: 60 x 3 x 10 sr

No shrugs. So damn tired today.

I felt so damn good squatting on Tuesday but it was a fairly high volume session and I don't think it left me in the position to go for 190+ today. In fact, Tuesday would of been the day to hit something heavy. Looking back over my log, Tuesday's session probably felt so good because I only had a medium/light type day the Thursday before. So I might try this for the next few weeks:

Tuesday -  hard (high volume or intensity or both)
Thursday - medium
Tuesday  - hard
Thursday  -medium
etc...

I know I've done TM before with 2 high volume/intensitys session every week with great success, but if I can get simialr gains now, while feeling better recovered, I'll take that option. Besides, I couldn't really do what I did last time on TM for long anyway; I'm already back at about the level things started to slow down. Think managing recovery is a smart option.

Getting My Press Up

Press: 75 x 2 x 1, 1 x 2. Second rep of last set was a helluva grind.

CGFP: 72.5 x 5, 5, 7, 60 x 9

LR: 7 x 2 x 15

Bench: 95 x 3 x 1. Felt retarted and tired.

18th & 19th

Yesterday I pressed 62.5 x 4 x 5 and my traps felt like they wanted to explode. They were still destroyed from Shrugs on Saturday.

CGFP (close grip floor press): for a bunch of reps

Bench: 80 x 5 x 5 (sr) short rest

Dips: bw x 2 x 10, 1 x 8. Triceps failed to lock out. Destroyed.

Today I squatted 155 x 5, 160 x 5, 155 x 5, 160 x 5. Sweet as you like. Then I did a bunch of curls.
