Thursday, June 23 - Lift

STRENGTH DAY
Conventional Deadlift - 405x2x5; 405x7
Seated Military Press - 155x3x5
Flat Bench - 225x3x8
Box Squat (parallel) - 315x3x5
Ab Ball Roll-Out (smallest ball) - 3x12 supersetted w/ DB Calf Raise 50x3x16

Notes
-Strength felt average.  I am keeping deadlifts and MP at 5+ reps (Monday I have moved to 3 reps for bench/squat).  I feel like I still have plenty of room to grow with both of these exercises.

-No longer ramping up bench to a heavy set on Thursday.  I did this for 4 weeks in a row to quickly progress and get my strength back up.  Now that heavy Monday worksets are at 275+, I'm dropping down to save my joints.

-I switched to conventional deadlifts 5 weeks ago.  I pulled sumo every deadlift session for over 3 years. Today was the first day I felt I could "rip" the bar from the floor pulling conventionally.  Hence, the angry 405x7 finish.  :)

-Ab rollouts have progressed nicely.
