Warmup - as usual, but up to 7 reps on bridges and GHR
Deadlift: 185, 225, 275, 315
382.5lbs - 5, 5*, 4 (5F)
*Poor lockout on the final rep due to grip issues.
I'm calling the 2nd set's 5th rep valid for progression purposes, but I really need to focus on keeping my grip tight. One thing I found to help was making sure my thumb covered some of my fingers and squeezing like hell.
No video; Rachel didn't come and Saba & Saarni didn't bring their phones.
Grip was the only real issue with these, though (at least from feeling). This is most encouraging.
Floor Press: 45, 95, 135
210lbs - 5, 5, 5
Did some stupid shit on the 5th one but otherwise great sets all 'round. Saarni's a wonderful training partner.
Adding 185 to my warmups next time. Woah.
Pretty sure I can get this to at least 225 for it stalls. Shooting for 235 'cuz at that point Bench is going to be fucking air.
DB Rows:
85lbs - 5/5, 5/5, 5/5
Yay.
GHR:
BW - 10
5lbs - 10, 9
Last couple on the 3rd set were ugly as hell (lots of low back recruitment). Retaking for all 3 sets next time.
Planned changes for the future:
In the interest of making one day essentially "light day" with no real grip demands and one day "heavy day" with all grip demands, I'm modifying stuff once I have the trap bar. Gives:
Squat Day:
Squat 3x5
Press 3x5
Pullup 3x5
GHR 3x10
Plank 3 Holds, 30sec between
Dead Day:
Deadlift 3x5
Bench 3x5
DB Row 3x5ea
Trap Lift 3x10*
Plank 3 Holds, 30sec between**
*May modify downward based on Emevas's suggestions. Haven't decided yet.
**May switch to 45-Degree Hyper 3x10 and move the TBL to the end
