Madcows 5x5 - Week 9, Day 1

SQUAT

Barx10
70kgx5
82.5kgx5
92.5kgx5
102.5kgx5
115kgx5 PR

NOTES: This felt like a true PR. So happy with the progress I've made on squats, the 102.5kgx5 was super easy once again; I definitely have that for at least 10.

BENCH

Barx15
50kgx5
60kgx5
70kgx5
80kgx5
87.5kgx5 PR

NOTES: The 5th rep was never in doubt, which is a good sign for week 10. I think the smart move would be to start microloading 1kg every workout after 90kgx5, because then by the start of May I would have a 95kgx5 bench. 

PENDLAY ROW

50kgx5
60kgx5
70kgx5
77.5kgx5
85kgx5 PR

NOTES: I was really annoyed because I filmed this set and then ran out of space on my phone halfway through. This set was quality, everything was tight and fast and I almost went for a 6th just for shits and giggles.

SQUAT 115kgx5

BENCH 87.5kgx5

WORKOUT NOTES: This routine is working really well, my lifts are no longer fast and loose but controlled and strong, which is saying something considering I'm PRing every workout from hear on out on every single lift. This is where the real work starts and the build up pays off, I've got to keep putting the work in.
