Monday, June 20th - Lifting

HEAVY DAY
Morning weight:  247 (-1)

Squat - 405x3x5
Bench - 275x2x3; 275x5 (feeling gooood)
BB Row - 225x3x5
Close Grip Incline *New Exercise* - 135x3x8
Calf Machine - 3x165x15, supersetted w/ Ab Ball Rollouts (Small Ball) - 3x11

Workout Time:  65 Minutes, 18 sets.

Notes
-Mini Deload last week paid off with today's workout.  Overall strength felt great
-I am scaling back the intensity of assistance (BB Rows and switch to lower load exercise of close grip incline) as I continue to increase the weight on the main lifts.
-Bench felt better with each set, so I decided to pound out a couple of extra reps.
-Squat strength was very solid, but I knocked the pins like 3 times unracking the weight and also was a little wobbly. Overall tightness was crap and it pissed me off having the weight keep me off-balanced.  I've probably had 250-300 heavy squat workouts over the past 5 years.  This is not something I should have a problem with.

As such, I have not earned going up in weight next week in the squat.  I will add a rep to each set.  Need to focus on keeping tightness out of the rack and give my body another session adjusting to heavier weight.
