Gym Progress 8/31/19: mediocrity

in #palnet5 years ago

had an "ah shrug" day. not good, not bad. I had to do a lot of dropsets to compensate for bad sets. I think that my calorie intake for the day was a cup of coffee with MCT oil and cream probably accounts for that. I didn't feel weak, I just felt unable, if you can get my meaning. I have since made up for the calories with a bone-in sirloin ;>

Today (223 lbs, up 1 lb - 1 hr 25 minutes in gym)

  • Warmup
    Bike 5 minutes
    starting/ending heart rate 112-130

  • Prone Leg Curls
    110 @ 8 & 7
    100 @ 7 & 5

  • Bench Press
    95 @ 8 , (10), and ((9))
    85 @ (10)
    (X) represents a set where I had to stop and take a break to finish; ((X)) would mean I needed two breaks.

  • Dumbbell Bicep Curl
    20/side @ 8 & 12
    22.5 @ 8
    Had to assist last 2 on L side

  • Tate Press
    50 @ 8, 9 & (10)
    there is a reason these are called skullcrushers, I almost dropped the damn bar on my head...not from failure but from being derpy and not paying attention to the range of movement
    also, my form sucked on these sets

  • Dumbbell Diagonal Lat raise
    15/side @ 10 & 12
    17.5/side @ 8

    these were sposed to be the first exercise I did, but a dude was on the machine for the first hour I was down there...
    I had only planned 340, but I didnt want to mess with all the little plates, so I just went 4 plates, I am feeling it now, but I'm happy I did

  • Medicine Ball Twists
