Lot's of stretching and foam rolling, my calf was niggling a tiny bit, so I didn't push anything so as not to aggravate it.

14/06/12 Bench 3's
Decided to get back on 5/3/1 and get moving in the right direction again.
Doing close grip bench at the moment as I can stay much tighter in my upper back with this grip.
Dynamic warm up then;
Bar x 10
40 kg x 8
50 kg x 5
60 kg x 3
70 kg x 3
80 kg x 3
90 kg x 6,f - 6 felt pretty easy so decided to try 7, but by this point I'd slipped off the bench a bit and lost my line on the way down, almost locked it out, but not quite, so had to lower the bar back to my chest and roll it off to the floor.

OHP
35 kg x 5 x 10

BB rows
60 kg x 3 x 10

Chins
BW x 3 x 5

Stretch and foam roll and home for food. My quads are unusually tight at the moment, and it feels like I've pinched a nerve in my lower back. Noticed it yesterday morning, so I'm assuming it's not training related. Might have to call off squats on Saturday.

450.0 kgs @ 90.6kgs UnEq		16/06/12 Squat & OHP 3's
Wasn't feeling great this morning when I went in so decided to just do the basic reps and see how things went.
Haven't squatting heavy in 3 weeks now, so was a bit tentative to say the least.
Dynamic warm up then;
bar x 10
bar x 5
60 kg x 5
75 kg x 5
92.5 kg x 3
107.5 kg x 3
122.5 kg x 3
137.5 kg x 5 - Felt ok, not awesome, but wasn't a limit. Descent was more controlled than it had been recently, so I stayed much tighter throughout the whole lift.

OHP
bar x 5
27.5 kg x 5
35 kg x 5
40 kg x 3
47.5 kg x 3
55 kg x 3
60 kg x 5 - Pretty good, reps were pretty quick and the bar speed didn't slow down much.

Good mornings
40 kg x 3 x 5
gonna build this up to 3 x 10 and then increase the weight a bit.

Band pull-aparts
3 x 10

Chins
BW x 3 x 5

Stretch and foam roll. Not a bad session, just gonna build things up slowly again and not get ahead of myself.

Not had much chance to train this week unfortunately, but decided since I haven't deadlifted yet that I'd do it.
Still go a slightly pinched nerve in my lover back so didn't push things.
Everything felt good and form was solid and the weights moved fast, so I'm quite pleased with how things went.
Dynamic warm-up then;
70 kg x 5
75 kg x 5
95 kg x 5
115 kg x 3
132.5 kg x 3
152.5 kg x 3
170 kg x 3

Front Squat
Bar x 5
50 kg x 3
65 kg x 8
75 kg x 8
85 kg x 6
Got the bar right up against my throat resting on my shoulders and elbows as high as they could go without choking me.
Form was pretty good in the videos I took. As upright as I could get and controlled descent and fast on the way up.

GHR
10 kg x 3 x 5 - slow descent and as fast as possible on the way up.

Dumbbell rows
20 kg x 25 L & R

Stretch and foam roll.

75 kg x 5
92.5 kg x 3
100 kg x 5
115 kg x 5
130 kg x 5 - Got a vid of the 115, back angles look much better, much more upright, descent is slower so I'm losing a bit of momentum out of the hole. Moved my grip in slightly, seems to help keep my back really tight and opens my chest up, if I remember to squeeze my core through the whole lift everything goes well. Not a PB but form felt good.

Goodmornings
40 kg x 3 x 5 - felt much better than last week, and form was better too.

Done.

Didn't warm up today as I was walking about town trying to find my way to the gym.
Was raging by the time I got there so did the following.
bar x 5
60 kg x 5
100 kg x 3
112.5 kg x 3
127.5 kg x 3
142.5 kg x 5 - Pretty s**t reps, a bt slow, but getting the depth just about right, once the timing is sorted out things should all fall into place.

OHP
bar x 5
40 kg x 5
50 kg x 3
57.5 kg x 3
62.5 kg x 7 - PB
