Madcow c3 w11 - d2 - d3


A friend of mine was visiting from out of town. So we worked out together. First we did my madcow workout. Afterwards
we threw in some box jumps, medicine ball stuff, rope stuff, and even tried some handstand pushups.  I'm happy to see that
I can do more handstand pushups than I could the last time I tried years ago.

Madcow c3 w9 d3 - w11 d1



Here are my logs from the past 5 sessions.
I've just been doing the weight for week 4 on squats, trying to get up to 5 reps with good form. I think the practice is paying off since yesterday I hit 4 reps @320. I feel  like I'm going to get 5th rep soon.

On bench I got all 5 reps at 230 so I'm pretty happy about that. The 3rd and 4th reps were
slow, but I still felt like I had the energy for the 5th rep. So I went for it. The bar went up
really slowly but it kept moving the whole time.

Madcow c3 w8 d2 - w9 d2


Here are another set of logs from my past 3 workouts. I did have to miss one Friday due to my wife not feeling well again.
All in all I'm just concentrating on form and not rushing things. The only lift that I'm actually using the weight for week that i'm in is Rows.
The rows seem to be helping me keep my back tight on bench press too. So I think my bench will be going up soon, I hope :-)
