Week 8, Day 1 - FSQ 185 x 1, SQ 175 x 1, DB BP 50's x 7 (PR)

warmup - not much

Felt pretty lousy over the weekend - bloody nose on Saturday, and stuffy sinuses on top of that.  Felt marginally better by Sunday night after staying in and doing almost nothing for two days.  Today, better still although not 100%.  It helps immensely that the super-cold weather is in the process of leaving - got above freezing outside for the first time in 10 days yesterday.

FSQ

bar x 5 pause and exhale

95 x 5 pause and exhale

135 x 5 - pause 4, pause-exhale 1

165 x 1

185 x 1, 1, 1, fail - oh, well, still too much weight on my heels


Thinking about the WNPF meet on Feb 23, so will start some back squats.

SQ - will try some back squats today as well, all deep, all bounced

bar x 10

95 x 6

135 x 4

155 x 1 - easy

175 x 1, 1 - both nice and deep, and that's enough squatting for today,

DB BP

25's x lost count, 6-8 reps, I think, long pauses and several breaths on each

50's x 7 = PR

Tomorrow, will try for up to 325 as a single in the Frog DL if the ramp-up feels good.  This will be quite a change from last Friday's 285 x 6 so we'll see how it goes, might settle for 300-315 for a double or triple tomorrow.  Then 335 and 345 the week after, 355 and 365 after that, and then off for a week until the meet.

Finish with 16 kg - press, 2 windmills each side.

Onward and Upward
