Today was week two of my new routine or actually more correctly week one repeated to account for the me estimating my max two high for this cycle.
Unfortunately Perth through another 40+ degree day so the gym was like an absolute furnace. Now I don't mind the hear per se but it does tend to sap the energy somewhat, especially as I had Deadlifts, Bench and Front squat to contend with.
Deadlift still felt a little of a grinder so again I need to check these numbers, bench started lighter and feels like I have this right though will have to check the weekly progression to ensure it's doable. Front squats were the star of the day I finally have the bar positioning on the delts right and using the straps has made the world of difference. Again started lighted on these and my form was great and had nice pauses in the bottom and very upright in the torso.
Post training I gorged on carbs and the requisite protein and kept the feedings going all afternoon as I played with my baby daughter while I kept an eye on the cricket score in the third test.
I will wait to get feedback from coach on what my readjusted maxes should look like as I am dead keen to base build on this routine and not miss planned reps for the cycle.
Oh and I just realised why the outside of the gym has tinted windows...its so the bros can all check out their guns in the reflection when they arrive and get out of their cars. Seriously counted 8 guys doing just that as I rested between sets.
