Heavy Day

Skipped over the medium day and went straight to heavy. Redoing the squat session from my last heavy workout to get all 3x5 at 335lbs.

Squats

• 45x5
• 135x5
• 225x5
• 315x3
• 335 for 3 sets of 5

Overhead Press

• 45x5
• 95x5
• 135x3
• 155x1
• 162.5lbs for 5 sets of 3

My arms felt dead today. I could only manage 3 reps in the first set. So I switched to 5x3 instead of 3x5.

Deadlift

• 135x3
• 225x3
• 315x3
• 390x1
• 405lbs for 1 set of 3

These three reps felt better than they did a few days ago. But, I still didn’t manage to get the 1x5 I was shooting for. Will repeat this weight next week.

Something to consider if I miss it again next week, I might switch up to 2x3 instead of 1x5. Or, maybe even 3x3. Not sure if I need more reps, or more recovery.
