Madcows 5x5 - Week 9, Day 3

SQUAT

Barx15
70kgx5
82.5kgx5
95kgx5
105kgx5
117.5kgx3 PR
100kgx8 

Squat 117.5kgx3

NOTES: This was really surprising, because I once again increased the weight of the ramping sets and still the top set was incredibly easy. The ease of 117.5kgx3 made me do the back off set on 100kg instead of 95kg. Felt like I had another 8 in me.


BENCH

Barx15
50kgx5
60kgx5
70kgx5
80kgx5
90kgx3 PR
70kgx8

Bench 90kgx3

NOTES: Bah, the last rep of 90kg was dog shit. I don't know why, but instead of grouping all the reps together in one energy bursts, I separated the 3rd rep from the first two and made the rep much harder than it needed to be. 

PENDLAY ROWS

50kgx5
60kgx5
70kgx5
80kgx5
87.5kgx3 PR
70kgx8

Pendlay Row 87.5kgx3 PR


NOTES: I did the same thing on this movement as I did on bench; breaking the set up into two beats when one would have sufficed. Still, this was not tough at all.

INCLINE DB BENCH

28.5kgx10
28.5kgx10
28.5kgx12 PR

NOTES: Well this was a surprise. Last time I failed the last set on 8, so to get a 4 rep PR is pretty crazy. It was true failure at the end there.

WORKOUT NOTES: Wasn't feeling very strong at all, but was pleasantly surprised at how easily the squats went up.
