Madcows 5x5 - Week 8, Day 1

SQUAT

Barx10
40kgx5
70kgx5
80kgx5
90kgx5
100kgx5
112.5kgx5 PR

NOTES: Finally! This was easy, had at least another 2 in me. 100kg felt like a warm up, which is the first time that has happened; many more PRs are ahead. 

BENCH

Barx10
50kgx5
60kgx5
70kgx5
77.5kgx5
85kgx5

NOTES: Strongest sets of bench of the whole program so far, my bar path was super solid and the control was there too. Almost went for a 6th just to show I can, but decided to can it for now. 

PENDLAY ROW

50kgx5
60kgx5
67.5kgx5
75kgx5
82.5kgx5 PR

NOTES: Not as strong as last workout, but the reps were legit. Might see how 85kgx3 feels, and if that is terribly heavy I might repeat 82.5kg. 

INCLINE DB BENCH

28.5kgx10 PR
28.5kgx10 PR
28.5kgx8

NOTES: Was aiming 3x10, damn. Might have had it if I rested a minute more. These absolutely destroyed my chest.

WORKOUT NOTES: Fantastic workout, the PRs are here to stay so that is good news. In 3 weeks I will be squatting 120kgx5, benching at least 90kgx5, and deadlifting 145kgx5. Big lifts are ahead as long as I keep putting in the work.
