Starting Strength: Workout A

*generic warmup
*dynamic flexibility


Deadlift: 205 x 5


Bench: 145 x 4/4/4


Squat: 195 x 4/4/4 (+2 reps)



* this wasn't bad at all. . . energy and intensity were definitely there. so on that alone I am pleased.

* deadlift still needs some improvement, so its gotta be a form issue that I'm dealing with. I'm going to re-read that chapter in Starting Strength and watch the Elite DVD on the squat/deadlift again. I'll probably hit up some of the recent Cressey deadlift material. I've got some homework to do, LOL. I know I should film my form, but I just don't have access to a recorder.

* bench was good. . . its amazing how keeping the shoulders "pinched" (lack of a better word) and keeping a nice arch in your back can add stability to the lift. I'll nail all reps next time I bench.

* Squats were hard, nothing more. . . . LOL


* time to eat a ton, shower and head off to work. I love the 11:30-8 shift.
