Re: theblackkeys\' \"Starting Strength\" log
Workout after work. Ate a banana 30 minutes before workout, pure genius. Gave me energy even though I hadn't eaten for about 5 hours.
<u>Bench Press:</u>
5x135
3x165
3x5x185
Sweet, 45 and a 25. I'm pretty sure I'll be unable to add five pounds next time. Should I stay at current weight and get more comfortable, or add five pounds and fail? Form errors are getting magnified, I get out of the groove on a rep more often.
<u>Deadlifts:</u>
5x135
3x185
3x200
2x235
5x250!
Makes me happy. Bar nearly slid out of my hand by the time I was lowering the bar. I need to work on grip bad.
<u>Chinups:</u>
3, 1, 2. I was a little tired, my biceps were fatigued for some reason. probably deadlifts.
<u>Dips</u>
2x8 @ bodyweight.
Worked on hang clean form with the empty bar. I stood straight, knees locked out, then slightly bent both knees and back, jumped and racked the bar. Pretty good form. However, I am having trouble lowering it more than that and "hitting" the same spot on my leg on the pull.
Then I did some grip work, loading a barbell with 235# and just holding it in my fingers for as long as possible. Pretty sure I got a SWEET pump.
