Week 9, Day 1 of 2 - SQ 195 x 1 x 6, BP 175 x 1

Week 9 and I will be lifting only twice this week - weights are getting heavy, and I am very, very, very busy with the annual Ridgewood Jamboree, for which my wife and I are in charge of all the musical performances.

One-finger assisted chinup, left first, 2 each way today, although second rep just barely.  Really liking doing these for whatever reason

SQ:

bar x 5

135 x 3 exhaled

155 x 1

175 x 1

I am thinking that my second and further squats always feel better on my back, and since I don't compete with a second and further rep, I'm going to practice singles.

195 x 1, 1 (deeper), 1 - total 3

195 x 1, 1, 1 on the :60 - good, now total 6 reps today.  Will try 205 next Tuesday with this then 215 the week after and, if all is good, 225 at the meet on Feb 23.

DB BP: 25's x 6

BP:

bar x 3

135 x 3

155 x 1 - easy

175 x 1 - good but hard to get bar off the hooks.  Tried again, again hard to get bar off the hooks so just reracked it.  I think my shoulders were better packed and they didn't want to reach as far - will add another thin board under both ends of the bench before next session but this is good.  My most recent competition benches were 185 and 181 so 175 is right up there and didn't feel that hard to actually press.

Stretch calves and hammies

HLR: 1
