Week 1, Day 3 - FSQ and BP

Yesterday, Wednesday, just stretching - walked, worked on my splits and cossack stretches, did a bit of headstand practice.  Have a little cold, have lost my voice, trying to stay rested, took a nap mid-morning.

Today, Thursday, FSQ and BP.

Warmup:  Shoulder dislocates w/ stick, OHS w/ stick, OHS w/ empty Oly bar x 2

FSQ: bar x 1, 105 x 5 paused and exhaled, 140 x 5 - deep but bounced.  We're going +5 lbs. twice a week on FSQ.

We're doing BP once a week, will start at 145, +5 lb per week, end with 205 x 1, which would be a lifetime PR

BP cycle plan

Week 1 - 145 x 5
Week 2 - 150 x 5
Week 3 - 155 x 5
Week 4 - 160 x 5


Week 5 - 165 x 3
Week 6 - 170 x 3
Week 7 - 175 x 3
Week 8 - 180 x 3

Week 9 - 185 x 2
Week 10 - 190 x 2 - would be a recent PR
Week 11 - 195 x 1 - would be a lifetime PR
Week 12 - 200 x 1 - would be another lifetime PR

Week 13 - 205 x 1 - would be yet another lifetime PR

DB BP 20's x 2, long pauses, felt great - phone rang.  Felt that I'd done 30's on Tue and that I'm improving at DB BP

BP: bar x 2, 100 x 5 paused, 145 x 5 paused.  Was a little nervous about 145 x 5 but it was solid.

48: 2-handed swing, on the :60: 5, 10, 6, 9 - felt like mixing up the reps today.  Form feels better, will try to videotape tomorrow

Onward and Upward
