In which I log a workout or two.

Monday: minor rollback on weights after last week’s rest.
5x5 back squat @ 170#
5x5 bench press @ 90#
5x3 deadlift @ 225#

Today:
5x5 back squat @ 175#
5x5 OHP @ 65#
5x3 power cleans @ 100#

Squats easy as far as leg strength goes. The challenges are with endurance (making it through that fifth rep with good form) and upper back strength. Also, my shoulders are really starting to feel abused. Definite calluses and I was thinking this morning during that fifth set that they feel bruised.

OHP is easy at 65lbs, impossible at 75. Such a massive cliff for me.

My sleep and diet have been utterly horrible in the past week & a half. I’m commuting into San Francisco by train for a new job and my schedule is still disrupted. I’m lifting at 6 in the morning, for instance, which means I go to bed at 9:30pm which is hard. It’s like moving two time zones eastward, only my husband is still on west coast time.
