2011-09-12 Volume

Warmup - As usual

Squat: 2x45, 95, 135, 185, 225, 275
327.5lbs - 5x5
Sick, but not enough to dissuade me from lifting.
Took shorter rests for time reasons, which made this harder than it had to be. ~5 minutes between sets, plus the sickness, meant that by the last two sets I had abandoned all pretenses of form and was just fighting to get the reps done. Seems that sitting straight down actually made them even easier, which tells me I've got some major issues with hamstring strength. Not sure what I'll do to work on that (if anything at all, at least for the time being).

Press: 45, 95
122.5lbs - 5
127.5lbs - 5
130lbs - 5
132.5lbs - 5
137.5lbs - 5
Decided to switch my presses over this week instead of next, on the assumption that sickness would probably shaft them anyway and that the effort of doing them heavy 3 times per week was probably impeding my gains elsewhere.
Basing Bench off of a 5RM of 225, Press off of 152.5. The bench may be a slight overestimate since I'll be switching to Paused, and the Press is probably a slight understimate from the sets across, but whatever.
