Squat Day - Cycle 13

Squat Day
Cycle 13


Overall Impression:
so i went in at 11:00 pm tonight to workout thinking the gym must be empty...guess what? it was FULL!!! what are the chances of THAT?

so....i went in today to the gym around 4:00 pm but i was worried and stressed about too many things. i guess this must be a sign that ive wizened up a bit but i decided not to workout after warming up till 225 because i know that whenever i am in those distracted moods i always injure myself. so i decided to go back. anyways, i finished doing what i had to do, felt relieved and decided to hit the gym. i am glad i came back to the gym at 11:00 pm inspite of so many people being there.
The Workout:
Deep Squats
- 275 lbs x 3 reps
- 275 lbs x 2 rep
- 275 lbs x 1 rep
- 225 lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets
- 185 lbs x 5 reps
So.....i decided to squat properly today with heavier weights. nailed 275. felt really easy. next time goal is to get 3,3,1. then the time after i want a clean 275x3x3. if i get that, it means i am back where i used to be strongest on the squat: 295x4. however, i doubt ill be taking 295 for a while...im just too lazy

Regular Romanian Deadlifts without lockout
- 95 lbs x 12 reps x 2 sets
focussed a bit more on form here

Ab Work
- Hanging Leg Raises = 20 lbs x 8 reps x 2 sets
- Overhead Plate Side Bends = 10 lbs x 10 reps x 2 sets
The hanging leg raises were a bit hard. i wasnt able to lift my feet completely to shoulder level without having to use momentum. im gonna reduce the weight to 5 lbs next time.

Grip Work
- Incline Dumbbell Curls = 35 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
- Hammer Curls = 35 lbs x 5 reps x 2 sets
i hate this type of bicep work..
