So i took the last 3 days off and ate very little(well around maintenance, maybe slightly under) and got mediocre sleep, in the past 30 days i've squatted 4 times and only deadlifted twice ;(I was so pumped to start madcows and get down and dirty and eat a ton etc etc I feel pretty s**tty saying this, but i failed day 1 ;( Bench: 20xmany 35x5 50x5 62.5x5 75 5x5 ( this was pretty easy, i set bench so i hit prs in week 6) Squat: 60x5 77.5x5 90x5 102.5x5 115x3 (every rep was a grind, pretty confused i got 125 3x3 last week)shall i set my maxes even lower or just write it off and try again? my all time pr on squat is 140x3...this is disgusting lol db rows( prefer these to barbell) 40kg 3x10 (pretty easy) Pull upsbw) 3x8 dips (bw) 3x20 | ||
