    Missed workout B on Friday so on it today.

    Squats 5x5 @ 120lb all good
    OHP 85lbs 1x4, 1x3, 3x2
    (was going to stay at 80lbs but just checking how 85lbs feels, almost stayed at 80lbs when I didn't get the first 5 out but eh)

    DL 140lbs no issues

    Thinking of adding in some HIIT training next week....

    FInished week 6 on Saturday. I missed today because my car got broken into blech. Jerks.

    But anywho

    Stayed at 125 for squats
    hit 5-5-5-4-5 on 75 pounds OHP. I felt like a frikkin monstaaa
    175 deadlift.

    I had a weird crampy feeling in my back ribs during this workout and since then my ribs have been oddly sore. I'll probably take til Friday off to rest up

    Also injured here. I pulled/tweaked my right rhomboid (go figure) a couple weeks ago. Between workouts it was feeling fine, but then nagging again during upper body stuff. When I pulled again last Saturday it hurt for a couple days. I decided to give it a rest. Thus I am embarking on a 21 day squat challenge switching between font/back/barbell/axle. http://breakingmuscle.com/strength-conditioning/21-day-squat-challenge

    Today I did axle back squats:

    Start out warming up and finding daily max
    45x10
    95x10
    115x5
    135x5
    155x1
    165x1
    175x1
    185x1
    195x1
    225x1

    Then did 3 ramped up sets of 3 starting with 70-80% of max:
    160x3
    170x3
    180x3

    Then did 3 ramped up sets of 5 starting with 70-80% of last set. 70% was actually 125, but I was too lazy to take plates off.
    135x5
    135x5
    145x5

    Well, probably my last strength workout of 2013 and it was fitting for my crappy year…

    Squat 135-5 140-3 145-1
    OHP 65-5 70-3 75-1
    Dead FAIL

    I had a similar workout almost 2 months ago where I just couldn't lift like I did even a few days before. Not sure what caused it, but it doesn't really feel great. I looked back and did see that I recovered a few days later, but at that time I thought it was a tough cardio workout the day before. This time has me stumped. I know I'll be back on track, it's just frustrating when it happens.

    Happy New Year to everyone…I'll be at work, but earning double time, so don't care!

    95x10
    125x5
    135x3
    145x1
    155x1
    165x1
    175x1
    187x1
    197x1

    137x3
    147x3
    157x3

    112x5
    122x5
    132x5
