Week 21: Intensity Day

I worked out in a different gym today. The bars there are not the same models as the ones used in my regular gym, so I don't know their exact weight. As such, I am going with the default 45 pounds.


Squats

Warm Up: 45/16, 135/5, 185/4, 225/3, 275/3, 295/1
Work Set: 315/5
Finally was able to do 315/5. It has taken me a long time to reach this goal. I wish I had this set on film because I'm curious to know how my depth was.

Deadlifts

To try and overcome my plateau, I have decided to implement the Paul Carter Strong 15 training philosophy for deadlifts. I have been using Carter's philosophy for bench pressing for the last 5 weeks.

155/5, 192.5/4, 231/3, 270/2, 308/1, 327/1, 346.5/1, 289/5, 289/5
This was more difficult than anticipated. I am not used to doing this many reps of deadlifts.

Chinups

9,9 (bodyweight)
3,3,3 (holding a 15 pound dumbbell with my feet)
The dumbbell kept falling off. I would have used a weighted belt, but I didn't see one in the gym.

* I did 4 sets of both abs and biceps last night.
