90% Lower body day FAIL

I was supposed to do 90% today for 5 sets of 2.  That was going to be 340 lbs. I had a complete and utter brain meltdown under 325.  I couldn’t get my set up. So we backed down to 305 for my first set, then 315, then 325 for 2 sets and ended on 335.  If the goal was to feel the weight, not crumple and maybe get my brain around it, then I did pretty okay.  If the goal was to squat perfectly then I failed.  It is only week 4 of a 16 week cycle so I guess I am not that bummed.

Then I deadlifted sets of 2 reps with 275, 295, 305, 315 and 325.  The 325 was slow and grindy but they did go up.  Tonight I will do some swings with the KB’s and call it a day.

90% Upper Body

90% would have been 190 lbs. We held at 185 lbs for 5 sets of 2. They went up fine and weren't to ugly. I then attempted 200 lbs three different times and failed each time. The only good news was hat I didn't get stapled to the bench. I handled the weight fine and it came off my chest I just couldn't push through the sticking point. Then did rep work: Side raises with 15 lb Dumbbells for 50 reps Overhead press with 15 lb Dumbbells for 50 reps Tricep push downs with 70 lbs for 50 reps. The end. MrsSpud

Saturday training on Friday. Normally I do my second lower body day Saturday mornings but I was going out of town so I trained Friday at 10:30ish. I wasn't sure how it would go. The goal was 310 for 5x3. This is what I ended with: 295x1x3, 305x1x3, and 310x3x3. This is the second set with 310 (4th set overall).
