Jan 3, 2019

Made it to the gym today. Powerlifted for the first time since December 1. The Body Pump class on January 1 left my biceps sore. That made it hard to sleep. I did a full body workout (at least for this type of lifting). I did Squats, Bench Press, and Deadlifts.

For squats it was 5x135lbs, 5x145lbs, 5x155lbs, 5x165lbs, and 5x175lbs.
For bench press it was 5x135, 5x140, 5x145, 5x150, and 5x155.
For deadlifts it was 5x135, 5x155, 5x175, 5x185, and 5x190.
I did 5 sets of 20 push-ups for my 100 for the day.
Then a stretch for 5 minutes.

My cousin Selena is doing 30 push-ups a day, and Lee Salas from The PowerPlant will match my 100 a day on push-ups.

That's exciting to me. Also been talking a friend through ways to stay driven with her workout process. It's so much better as a group, even if we workout separately.

I'll probably do the same or slightly heavier workout on Saturday and then next week have it split to where I do one lift on each of my 3 lift days and other supplemental exercises for that workout.

KEEP GRINDING!

Comments:
Biceps don't get a lot of variety for training. Pulses are what causes the soreness and grow endurance muscle fibers.
 
I don't focus on them much. They aren't used much for powerlifting. It was good to notice how much work they could use. :)
