Workout A - 12/9/12

Squat:
160 x 5
160 x 5
160 x 5

Bench:
135 x 5
135 x 5
135 x 5

Deadlift:
195 x 5

Dips:
BW x 8
BW x 8

Standing cable crunch:
40 x 15
80 x 15
80 x 15

Squats were hard once again, but I can't say they were appreciably harder than two days ago.  Good sign! My adductors were still hurting at the top of every rep though - no improvement.  I did a little research and think I'm going to do some light warm ups on the adductor machine (a.k.a. Good Girl Machine, see pic) and perhaps progressively overload it at the end of workouts once or twice a week.


Looks enjoyable.  I am pretty convinced this is just a weak point, which makes sense since they really don't get any work in everyday life.

Bench was still easy, and deadlifts weren't really tough either, but at least they feel like it's taking some effort to get the bar off the ground.  I added two sets of dips at the end with my body weight, and then used the standing cable crunch ab machine to get some work in there.  The dips weren't too taxing so I think I'm going to keep doing them while bench goes up and then eventually start raising reps/weight.
