8.19.10 - Rest Day

242.6

Update: today turned into a rest day when I got stuck at work. Listed below is what I would have done. I'll either do this stuff tomorrow or Saturday or Sunday. Honestly, I wasn't too upset about taking another rest day. It's been on my mind that I need to take a few more rest days here and there to let my body recover more. Also, the honest to god truth of it is that I would probably gain more in terms of performance from managing my sleep and diet vs. simply working out more.

Strength:

Back Squats
3 reps at 190
3 reps at 205
3 reps at 220
3 reps at 225

Bench Press:
10 reps at 140
8 reps at 160
6 reps at 170
4 reps at 180
2 reps at 190

Assistance:
Dips
Will use the assist machine and record counterweights

Dumbell Rows
5 X 10 each arm at #60

Good Mornings
5 X 10 - will test loads this week - likely #85 or #95 - something like that. This is a new movement and I don't have it benchmarked yet.

Food:
3 cups of coffee
2 chicken breasts
small salad

Daily Notes: Conveniently, Scott canceled evening class tonight, so I will go to LAF and see what I can get done. No plans to deadlift tonight, but the Good Morning is an assistance exercise to both the squat and deadlift.
