Hypertrophy W1D2

Heavy leg and back day. Very efficient workout plan today; under 65 minutes even with my extended warm-up. It was 2 supersets (3 with cardio). The back squat/chin-up SS was easier than the front squat/bent row one. Even though back squat had more reps, the relative weight was a lot heavier for front squats.

My lower back is a little tight so looking forward to cardio/rest day tomorrow.

Hypertrophy W1D3

I was a little fatigued and on a time crunch this morning so not optimal at all.

Bench was just OK. Made it thru everything, but it was heavier than it should've been. The snatch deadlifts were probably the easiest and cleanest portion of today's workout. Other than needing to change to a mixed grip on set 3, they felt great.

I tend to use week 1 to 'find' the correct weight for fill-in-the-blank exercises. I always have idea of where I plan to start. Depending on what exercises I've already done that day, it sometimes causes me to adjust my planned weight. So on DB OHP, I actually went up on sets 2 and 3 today. On the flip side I lower the weight on the DB lats, tri pushdowns, and CG bench. Now when I plan my week 2 weights I should have a better idea of what weight to use for good form and clean lifts.
