GOMAD 17

215lbs. Bumper plates are great for the ego.

I took yesterday off because I just felt lethargic.  No matter what anybody tells you it is always best to listen to your body.  Too much rest and you get strong/fast/stamina slower, too little rest and you get injured faster.  If pressed I'll take the former.  Last time I pushed it I injured myself and sat out for a month.  Here's what today looked like.

---

Squat
45x5x2
65x5x2
95x5
125x5
135x5
145x5
155x5
160x5x3

Press
45x5x2
65x5x2
75x5
85x5
90x4 then 1 push press
90x3 then 2 push press
87x5
Man this press is going up slow!  I really thought I would get 90 today.  I had to push press it to get it up on the last few reps. I then took the weight down to 87 and pressed 5 out fine.  I decided to doo some assistance work for the hammies and shoulders today in hopes it will take this up quicker.

Deadlift
115x5x2
135x5
165x5
185x5
205x5
215x5
I felt great on these.  My 1RM was 220 so when I bust out 225x5 next week I will be super stoked!!

Assistance work:
Leg Curl
50x18x2
50x15 did this with about 60 seconds rest between sets.  This is Hypertrophy work.
Standing Dumbbell Press
15x15x3 same time frame on this stuff.
Maybe I have not mentioned it before but all other lifts done with sets across have a rest of 3-5 minutes between them.The warm up sets vary from 30 seconds to 3 minutes of rest between.
