Gorgeous Friday, very warm, and the rumpus room was downright hot. Felt a little gross after downing a piece of pizza this afternoon -- big mistake -- but won't have a shot at the weight until Sunday. So in I went.
Downed the usual Shelby-defined elixir and warmed up. Not enough dynamic work, but some. Hit the weights to warm up as usual. Was kind of excited about lifting by now, so I got to it.
Wore elbow sleeves and wraps for the first two exercises and briefs for squats. Wore EliteFTS knee sleeves too.
All exercises were 3 sets of 5-7 with 180s between.
Military press, seated, fat bar: 3 x 7 reps with same weight as last time. Seat was at 80 degrees (more/less). Torked after one set to go over the top. Not bad, not great. Actually did 8 reps on the last set, so I need to go up next time.
Tricep push-downs: 3 x 7 reps. Used a 2-inch strap over the top to my loading pin and a Spud, Inc. stubby strap handle. These were hard -- lots of friction. Got some engineering to do to make this perfect, but I was pleased.
Squat: 3 x 7, up 5% from last time. Two sets of 7 and dropped the 5% for the last set of 7 reps. Torked again in between two sets. Really pushed hard on these.
All in all a pretty solid bit of work. Took me a long time, had the fan full-blast and still sweat like a dog. Might have trouble recovering for a date with the wife tonight, in fact.
Hope you all have a productive weekend.
