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.
