Wednesday
Day 2 of week 1 - 20 rep squat wo

BNP 3x12@105 (12, 12, 10)
Squat 1x20@195
Pullovers 1x20@55
Bench 3x12 175 (11), 165 (9), 135 (10)
       Just out of gas
Row 3x15@115
SLDL 1x15@225 (13 - grip gave out)
Pullovers 1x20@55 (15)

I think the difference between today and Monday was that I took reasonable rest periods today. Monday was at home and I was watching TV and playing with the boys, so intervals between bench press could have been 15 minutes or so. At the work gym with Matthew and Emily is a different animal altogether. In a good way - I really need to work on my endurance and work capacity.

I also think Emily and Matthew hate me because of this workout.


Friday
20 rep squat workout, end of week 1.

BNP 3x12 115(11 & 15/16ths), 105, 105
Squat 1x20@205
Pullovers 1x20@55
Bench 3x12@135
Row 3x15@115
SLDL 1x15@225
Pullovers 1x20@55

This was at home. Longer rest periods, which made it easy. I need to get more disciplined re: rest periods at home, unless I'm doing a GTG or Paul Anderson deal.
Although that's not all of it. For squat, 195 was hard on Weds., this was light. I felt like I could've done 1000. I'll lock myself in to a 20lb jump to 225 on Monday while I'm feeling spry and cocky. I will regret this. For bench, my left biceps tendon was a bit tender so I went light. I'll play SLDL jump by ear, depending on how the grip feels - this was light. I switched to a left hand supinated mixed grip rather than my standard right hand supinated.
