238.2
Strength:
Back Squats
5 X 5 at 250
Note: total failure. I worked up to something like 185 and it just never felt right. I think maybe this week I should try to do some kind of squats every day. I don't think I've lost actual strength, but clearly my body isn't accustomed to the movement or the heavy loads right now. Some of my earlier thoughts about doing more high volume squat work seem to be correct. Yes, the max effort in January that got me my 315 PR was great, but I really needed to follow that up with higher volume muscle-building hypertrophy sets in subsequent weeks and really get my body used to the heavier loads and to grooving the movement.
Bench Press
3 reps at 175
2 reps at 195
3 reps at 185
then
5 X 6 at 155
Dumbell Rows
5 X 8 at 50 (each arm)
Note: these were actually too easy. Should probably move up to #60 next time.
