Keeping Tabs (5x5)

[Hitro]

Cardio yesterday - 30mins on the bike, 5 sets crunches, 4 sets hanging leg raises

Day 2 Week 5

Bugger had another late night with work etc. Still got through so all good.

Warmup = 500m row

Squats - 10 x bar, 5 x 60kg (as usual too lazy to muck about with 57.5kg), 5 x 72.5kg, 5 x 85kg, 5 x 85kg

OH press - 5 x 30kg, 5 x 32.5kg, 5 x 35kg, 5 x 37.5kg

Deadlifts - 5 x 87.5kg, 5 x 105kg, 5 x 120kg, 5 x 137.5kg (new PB - was actually supposed to only lift 5 x 135kg but I read the wrong days weights on my schedule and wondered why I struggled....but got there!)

Pullups - 3 sets of body weight - 12, 10 and 8 reps. Felt pretty buggered from the extra deads so found these extra tough today.

More cardio yesterday....not much to tell.

Today though...Week 5 Day 3

Great workout this morning. Love Friday sessions as I know I have to work hard just to get it all done in time but also to lift heavier than previous.

Warmup - 5mins on the bike

Squats - 10 x bar, 5 x 60kg (suppose to be 57.5 but lazy), 5 x 72.5kg, 5 x 85kg, 5 x 97.5kg, 3 x 112.5kg (felt ok), 8 x 85kg

Benchpress - 10 x bar, 5 x 45kg, 5 x 52.5kg, 5 x 60kg, 5 x 70kg, 3 x 77.5kg (PB...yes weak I know!), 8 x 62.5kg

BB Row - 5x 45kg, 5 x 47.5kg, 5 x 50kg, 5 x 52.5kg, 3 x 57.5kg (PB), 8 x 50kg

Tricep extensions - 3 sets of 10

DB curls - 2 sets of 8 heavys supersetted with tricep dips (12 reps each)

EZ bar curls - 3 sets of 10 supersetted with more tricep dips (12 reps of each)

Felt like I could dip forever today. Went really well.

Week 6 Day 1

Well what a total contract to Friday. Crap workout.......had an ear infection, well thought I had shaken it but came back real bad last night after going for a swim in the arvo. Struggled bigtime today so will be repeating a few lifts as a result.

Warmup - 5mins on the bike

Squats - 10 x bar, 5 x 60kg, 5 x 72.5kg, 5 x 87.5kg, 5 x 100kg, 5 x 112.5kg (struggled with top set. Not happy with form - wasnt deep enough or overly steady so will repeat)

Benchpress - 10 x bar, 5 x 47.5kg, 5 x 55kg, 5 x 62.5kg, 5 x 70kg, 4 x 77.5kg (fail....will repeat)

BB Row - 5x 47.5kg, 5 x 50kg, 5 x 52.5kg, 5 x 55kg, 5 x 57.5kg

Hyperextensions - 2 sets with 10kg weight added.

Not too phased by the failed lift. I'm in week 6 now so gotta expect that it may take me longer than 1 week to acheive a lift and move forward. Will do 3 reps again on top sets this Friday without upping the weight with aim of nailing 5 good reps this time next week.
