Madcows 5x5 - Week 10 - Day 3

SQUAT

Barx10
72.5kgx5
85kgx5
97.5kgx5
107.5kgx5
120kgx3 PR VIDEO
100kgx8

NOTES: This was badass. The weight felt light on my back and it felt controlled even at the bottom position. I think I have improved my ability to contract my core.

BENCH

Barx10
50kgx5
60kgx5
70kgx5
80kgx5
92.5kgx3 PR VIDEO
75kgx8

NOTES: This was easier than the triple I did on 90kg last week. I really want a 100kgx3 bench by the end of this routine, and by getting 92.5kgx5 I will be damn close. 

PENDLAY ROW

50kgx5
60kgx5
70kgx5
80kgx5
90kgx3 PR
70kgx11 PR VIDEO

NOTES: Strong. My form is still holding up well, which is a nice surprise as I thought I would have reset by now or upped the volume.

INCLINE DB BENCH

34kgx5 PR
34kgx6 PR

NOTES: Feels good to be throwing this weight around on incline.

WORKOUT NOTES: Simply awesome workout, everything was really light but also an active challenge. I'm happy with all of my lifts, the squat is obviously the lift I want to improve the most but I'm really contented with my upper body progression too on this routine. The 6 week build up seems to be paying dividends!
