As I said yesterday, I want to train today. The question is, what do I train? My legs are still way too sore for me to try deadlifting, and I just did shoulders on Sunday. My chest feels alright, it's been 4 days since I did bench on Friday. But, since I'm beginning to get back into the higher weight range of Bench, I don't want to overdo it, and end up too tired to push forward into 200+ poundage territory.
What I may do, is a little mashup of cleans, rows and chinups. Kind of a pulling session, without the deadlifts. I know my cleans could use the work. If I do this, that puts chest on the menu next, followed finally by deads.
Here are some of my goals on my lifts, some short term, some long term.
Deadlift - 325x5 reps.
I can hit 315 for 5, but need to get my grip stronger to hit 325. Only a few months ago, my 1RM was 325.
Bench Press - 225x1
A few weeks ago I was able to hit 4 reps at 195. This seems like a tall order, but I'm slowly making my way towards 200lbs. Something tells me once I break 205, I'll be able to attempt 1 rep at 225.
Squat - 225x20 reps
Squats have been a journey. I remember over a year ago I managed 5 reps at 315. Of course, I was stupid and only going 1/4 of the way down. I remember being so proud of myself. What an idiot I was. Now, my form is correct, and the depth is correct. This is a longer term goal. I don't expect to hit this till the summer time. Earliest.
Overhead Press - 135x5 reps.
Shoulders.... my weakest lift. I have so much trouble getting this up. I can barely eek out 3 reps at 125, let alone 135. This is a long term goal. I've revamped my technique, and am kind of starting from scratch again. My hope is to hit this by summer.
