Week 15: Intensity Day

Deadlifts

Warm Up: 135/10, 225/5, 315/1
Work Sets: 360/5, 385/1

Squats

Warm Up: 45/10, 135/5, 185/3, 225/2, 275/1
Work Set: 315/4
I wanted to do 315/5 today, but deadlifts took a lot out of me. I barely made the 4th rep.

Rest-Pause Bench Press

A rep is performed, then racked, then a 10-15 second break is taken, then another rep is performed, and so on.

Warm Up: 45/10 (not rest-pause style), 135/5 (rest-pause), 185/3 (rest-pause)
Work Set: 225/4 (rest-pause)
This was much more difficult than doing 225/5 the regular way. I went into it thinking I'd do 225/5 without much trouble. Boy, was I wrong.  When I do this on Volume Day, I'll probably use either 210 or 215 pounds.
