Squat m3 w2

Maxwell Daily Dozen
Foam rolling
Clean 95x5, 95x5, 115x5, 135x3, 150x3, 170x3
SQ 145x5, 175x5, 200x3, 230x3, 260x6
HLR 8, 7, 6, 5, 4
Standing and seated calf raises - light and 3sec pause at the bottom
Sprints 2x100, 4x50, 2x100m

-Not bad for waking up with a mild hangover
-Form started to get lame on squats. Need to pause more between reps and focus on knees out, ass down, pushing traps through the bar. On the up side I left a couple in the tank.
-HLRs were kinda tough.
-Calf raises are simply something to do between HLR sets and warm and stretch the calves before conditioning.
-I wish I had an f'n prowler.

Bench m3 w2

Maxwell Daily Dozen
Simple Six
Stationary bike a few minutes
Bench 75x5, 95x5, 115x5, 140x3, 160x3, 180x8
Dips 60 total in 6 sets
Chins 33 - sets of 3 between presses and dips
T-bar Rows 45 x 60 in 5 sets

-Matched last month's effort for the bench. 9 in terms of RPE. Its odd I was using different brands of 10lbs plates on each side of the bar and felt like one side was heavier than the other. Curiously I'm doing the exact same weights with 200 as a projected max as 195, excel's built in rounding is somewhat limited.
-Stick with 60reps for dips and go to 65 for rows. The rows are really pumping up my traps.

PC 95x5, 115x5, 125x5, 145x5, 160x5
SQ 145x5, 175x3, 190x5, 215x5, 245x8
HLR 7,7,6
Seated CR 50x12,12,10

-A rep short of an old PR on the squats. Form was pretty good, with a little forward lean. I need to stay aggressive for sets going beyond 5 on these.
-Cut the assistance work short since I wanted to get some sprints in and Press tomorrow. This now seems very vaginal but I skipped sprints due to sprinklers. Note: Tuesday = sprinklers.

-DB Presses were actually pretty hard try for 55 next time.
