Madcows - Week 6, Day 1

SQUAT

Barx10

40kgx5

50kgx5

70kgx5

80kgx5

90kgx5

100kgx5

107.5kgx5

NOTES: This was easy but shit, depth was inexcusable here. I've been getting better hamstring bounce out of the hole lately thanks to not sinking into the hole as much, but reps 4 and 5 were borderline; which would have been forgivable if the reps weren't easy. 

BENCH

60kgx5

70kgx5

80kgx5

NOTES: I'm kicking myself for repeating weeks, this was easy and there is no reason I shouldn't be hitting up 85kg right now instead. Damn my cautious brain cells!

PENDLAY ROWS

50kgx5

60kgx5

70kgx5

77.5kgx5 PR

NOTES: The last rep was tough, but I have more improvement in me and the first three reps were really fast. 80kg next time, my lats are growing pretty quickly it seems now.

INCLINE DB (Highest Level)

26kgx10

26kgx10

26kgx8

26kgx8

NOTES: The last two sets were a good test of will, the last 2 reps of the last set were insanely hard and destroyed my chest. Maybe that means I will start filling out my chest soon.

Workout notes: This was a really frustrating workout. The weights were not hard at all but the squat depth was not as good as I'd like. The rest of the workout was as expected, but the squats really got to me. I think I get scared of losing tightness and failing, so next time I will slow down the descent and make sure I'm hitting that 1-2 inches below parallel.
