OK, here's all of my thoughts on these three days. My bench is still inconsistent and it's annoying me. Previously, I managed 3 sets of 5 but this week, I was off by 2. I'm not sure if I just need to push myself harder or what. Frank thinks I'm doing too many sets with the lighter weight but I think I just need to get stronger overall. We'll see what happens next week.
As for deadlifts, well, I had no intention of going for a one rep max, but I did and I can't say that I'm upset about it. 251lbs is the most I have ever deadlifted. I think I may have gotten a little more than that on trap bar deads, but those don't really count lol. I will say, however, that I was junk after that. Absolute junk. I had no more energy or drive or anything. And that night, my neck decided it would stage a painful protest so I was also junk the next day. I'm still pleased though.
Now squats. You all know squats are my favorite. I think it's safe to say that from here on out, PR's are going to be common. I'm in weights that I've not done before and that, my friends, is a very good feeling. Another very good feeling is that my knees are relatively pain free! I thought for sure these heavier weights would be taking a mighty big toll, but knock on wood, they have not. I'm thankful that there's been nothing but expected soreness for a little bit after and then I'm good; no major pain or injuries. Like the deads though, I'm 100% gassed after doing them. Oh, and I'll be taking an ibuprofen before bed to head off any pain that may try to creep in while I'm sleeping.
Overall, I guess I'm satisfied with my performance. We skipped overhead press day, but I don't really care lol. Performance-wise I've been good, but I'm not losing any weight. I went down a total of 14, then gained back 4. I've been maintaining a 10lb weight loss and that does not please me! I hate my body with a passion that burns hotter than the cheese on an oven-fresh pizza. Nothing seems to be changing. Nothing. I'm really very frustrated but that's kind of my normal state of being. Oh well, ugly body or not, I still got some PR's this week!
