Total Fitness Personal Trainer

5 days off so back to it today.

Have been toying with the idea of trying a modified 5*5 routine, squatting and benching twice per week with deads just once.

The reason for this is to put a little less strain on my cental nervous system and reduce over all fatigue. So for the next few weeks at least, no heavy singles!

Todays session:-

Squat
bar*10
60*5
60*5
83*5
97*5
113*5
130*5
140*1
140*2
140*2
140*2
100*3 (all paused at the bottom)
110*3 (as above)

Bench
Bar*10
60*5
60*5
75*5
90*5
100*4 (just missed the 5th)
100*2
100*2
100*2

Kb jerks
16kg*10* 3 sets
20kg*10* 3 sets

That was it, had to stick to low weights on the KB due to having a tat done last weekend and not quite healed properly where the kettlebells were resting in the rack position.

The squats felt good, but got carried away (Reflex Nutrition Matrix Evolution pre workout - super focussed!) Should have stopped at the planned 130*5kg which is what the plan said, with a view to hitting 135 for 3 on thursday.

Still the 140's were solid and form pretty good, so its slowly gettin there.

Had a sports massage a while after that and talk about pain! IT band hell.
