Madcow c2 w4 d3

Today I was feeling a little tired since I stayed at work an extra hour, and I had not been getting enough sleep for the past few says.

Squat
1x5@155,195,235,270,
1x3@320
1x8@235

I did slow down coming out of the hole on the last rep @ 320. I think I had forgotten to really tense up and stay tight through the whole motion and it showed. Then I forgot about the last 1x8 squat set until I was sitting down for the bench press. So I went back and knocked it out.


Bench
1x5@110,140,165,195,
1x3@225
1x8@165

I noticed that the benches at this location don't have low hooks. So if you cant get the bar all the way up, you're screwed without a spotter. So I decided to do my set at 225 in the smith machine. I didn't want to look foolish just in case I couldn't finish my reps :)

Cleans
1x5@90,115,135,160,
1x5@180
1x8@135

I did a few extra reps at max. Still trying to get the shrug and jump in.

Squat
1x5@155,195,235,270,310

The last set on squats was starting to feel tough but I managed to keep my knees from buckling in.
Bench
1x5@110,140,165,195,220
These also felt good until the last set, which went pretty slow.

Cleans
1x5@90,115,135,160,
1x7@180

I added two extra reps since reps 4 and 5 were crap.
Also, I finally managed to actually get the shrug and jump on the 7th rep.

Log nov 4 2011 Madcow c2 w3 d3 So this day started off well enough. I had an early morning appointment for my physical at the Dr.'s office. During the appointment I decided to go ahead and get my flu shot. So fast forward to the evening and I was starting to feel the effects of the shot. I figured I would just push through the slight discomfort and go workout. Once I got to the gym and started doing my sets, it quickly became apparent to me that its probably not a good idea to workout on the same day as getting a flu shot. This session was probably the worst session I've had in over a year. I was so tired and dragging myself around from set to set. I know I even managed to load up the bar with different weights on each side more than once! Somehow I managed to complete everything w/o missing my reps. Once I made it home, I crashed on the couch for a few hours to try to recover. The soreness from working out combined with the aches and slight fever from the flu shot made me feel like I didn't want to move. Thank goodness by morning I felt much better. Squat 1x5@155,190,230,265, 1x3@310 1x8@230 Bench 1x5@110,135,160,190, 1x3@220 1x8@160 Cleans 1x5@90,110,130,160, 1x5@175 1x8@130

Madcow cycle 2 week 2 day 3 - week 3 day 2

here are my latest logs. I meant to post sooner but Its been pretty busy with work, and halloween activities. Things are still feeling relatively easy as expected. I think today's workout session I broke a new record for completing a workout in the shortest time possible :) I even had time talk with the membership rep to put my gym membership on hold. I'm planning on switching over to a new gym. Just in case things don't work out, I'll still be able to restart my old membership at the same price I was paying before. ================= Log nov 2 2011 Madcow c2 w3 d2 Squat 1x5@155,190,230,230 Ohp 1x5@95,115,130,150 Deads 1x5@195,235,270,310 ================= Log oct 31 2011 Madcow c2 w3 d1 Squat 1x5@155,190,230,265,305 Bench 1x5@110,135,160,190,215 Cleans 1x5@90,110,130,155,175 ================== Log oct 28 2011 Madcow c2 w1 d3 Squat 1x5@150,185,220,260, 1x3@305 1x8@220 Bench 1x5@105,130,160,185, 1x3@215 1x8@160 Cleans 1x5@85,105,125,155, 1x4@170 1x8@135
