May 7, 2009

Went to the gym late again tonight after a big meal and 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine. Luckily my warm-up revved up my metabolism and was feeling better for the lifting portion of the workout. Today was based on a Pavel "Power to the People" split based around percentages of your 5 rep max. First set is 90% then the next sets drop to 80% of your 5RM. I didn't do this on the Front Squats however since I haven't been doing that exercise enough to know what my 5RM is.

5 minutes rowing
15 minute foam roller/warm-up/joint-mobility

Alternating Sets
1A: Bench Press
5 @ 135#, 5 @ 205#, 5 @185#, 5 @ 185#

1B: Deadlift
5 @ 225#, 5 @ 295#, 5 @ 265#, 5 @ 265#

2A: Weighted Chin-ups
5 @ bodyweight, 4 @ 35#, 5 @ 25#, 5 @ 25# (went too heavy on these)

2B: Front Squats
5 @ 135#, 5 @ 135#, 5 @ 155#, 5 @ 175#
