Monday May 17, 2010

Workout:

Bench Press: Started of with weight at 125. To heavy, couldn't do 5. Next set went to 115. Form was bad. Then I went to 105. Good weight for me, good form too.

Squat: 3x135. Felt pretty good.

Deadlift: 1x165. Kept good form. Good set.

Dips: 2x8. These felt really good. I subtracted 60 lbs from my body weight.


Good workout. I feel very good.

Wednesday May 19, 2010

Workout:

Squat: 3x5 at 140 lbs. Pretty good form. Felt great.

Military Press: 3x5 at 75 lbs. I struggled with these a bit. Form could have been better.

Power Clean: 3x5 at 105 lbs. I started off with Rows, but didn't like them. Power Cleans FTW. These fatigued me more than anything else.


Good workout.
