Gym regimen - 8 January 2014 - Quasi Even Keel C

Based on a perusal of Perryman's book, Squat Every Day, and a couple related articles, I rustled myself up and went for another workout tonight. I am not going to pursue Perryman's method (or "the Bulgarian method" on which it is largely based), for a number of reasons. I'm still just getting back into the swing of things, I haven't mastered the conventional Olympic lifts, and because I simply do not get enough sleep. That's my Achilles heel. Babies, writing, cleaning, praying... I let sleep get the short end of the stick. I'll be trying to work on that, though.

As for tonight...

8 Jan 2014 
45 min, 214 lbs
Even Keel C (i.e. a tweaked version of my Even Keel routine)

Warm-up

-

SQ : 190 lbs @ 5x5 

Bent row : 135 lbs @ 6x5 

- 

bb press : 105 lbs @ 5x5 

calf shrugs : 270 @ 8x5 

- 

Decline db press : 60 lbs @ 5x5 

I kept a very tight posterior chain and traps for the squat, and they felt wonderful. I knew I could have gone heavier, but... in time. It felt great to get back in the gym, and knowing me, I'll go again tomorrow night... unless CURSED LAUNDRY traps me!
