To keep up with DFC (the fitness crew I belong to, except they are all in the city), I align my training with theirs so that when we do train together we are on the same page. Well, this week was the week to test numbers on certain movements in preparation for a new plan beginning on Monday. I'm really excited about the new plan and had a great week in the gym number wise. I had a beautiful back day, a totally awesome leg day, and in my opinion, a kind of crappy chest day.
Let me get the chest day fails out of the way. For the last month or so, I have been keeping the weight relatively light and performing a high number of reps. Well, yesyerday I expected to be able to bench press way more than I was able to. I hit 135lbs 1x! My first attempt was a fail. I couldn't get it up, but I immediately did it again and got it. I as so upset and expected to be able to at least get 3-5 reps. I had just benched 120lbs 8s's! WTF!!! Okay, I'm done with the negatives.
This week I had a very emotional moment in the gym while doing deadlifts. So, not too long ago I could only pull 225lbs 1x and on Monday I pulled it 10x's!!! I was too stoked and had to fight back tears while standing there! I ended up pulling 255lbs that day and I was beyond satisfied.
Leg day was good too! I got up 155lbs with the A2G squats for 10 but reverted back to my powerlifting squat (sumo) for higher weight and ended up squatting 165 and 170 5x's and 175, 180 and 185 3x's. I stopped there because I had no one to spot me and plus I had been at the rack for well over an hour. My legs are really starting to feel it but I love it!
I am truly beginning to see changes in almost every area of my body so my motivation is on fleek! Over the next 6-8 weeks my goal it lift heavy, gain strength, and make some muscles pop!
Tonight... BOXING!!! I have another boxer who's fighting his first fight tomorrow night!! I'm excited as usual about this! I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
Luv!
