202 lbs.
Warmed up with some hacks and extensions.
Squats:
10 x 135
8 x 225
8 x 225
8 x 205
8 x 205
Wasn't sure where to start on these. Long about rep 6 on each set i started getting penitent seeing black spots. (May have actually busted a blood vessel in my eyeball.) i think i managed to not blow any spinal springs, but i sho' nuff's gunna get me a belt. This reminded me of why i've faithfully avoided squats for a decade or so. On the last set i actually glanced in the mirror to see if anyone was watching so i could just rack the damn thing without losing cool points, but then i knew i'd hafta write it on here and i couldn't live with that. i mean, what's ambulatory capacity worth if you've got no self-respect?
Front Delt Raises:
12 x 25
10 x 30
6 x 35
6 x 35 (These were easier than last time, and i went up a li'l bit.)
Lateral Delt Raises:
12 x 15
12 x 15
10 x 20
6 x 25
6 x 25
These were better than last time. Could probably bump the weight up a tad.
Tricep Presses:
25 x "90" (Did these like a DE workout and it made for a nice warmup.)
12 x "130" (Still pretty light.)
6 x "180" (Ok for a warmup.)
Skull Crushers:
10 x 70
7 x 87ish (Went up on weight a bit and could'a kept going.)
8 x 97ish (This was gonna be a set of 6, but it wasn't heavy enough for that. Can go up next time. i'm stronger on these than last time.)
Dips:
8 x BW
10 x BW
10 x BW
8 x BW
Can start adding weight on these. These felt good.
Comments:
i forwent Deads or SL Deads as i suspected i might be needing a wheelchair tomorrow after the squats. If i'm still able to walk tomorrow, i might give 'em a go. i was also gonna do abs, but not being able to see outta my left eye was very distracting. i might start a modicum lighter on the squats next week. The rest of the workout felt super. i may have lucked onto the right period for chest vs. tris/delts here. it's been ca. 2 weeks since i last worked tris/delts. The last time i did, it screwed with my bench. But now i've gone up on both pretty significantly. So i might try staggering hard workouts on 'em back and forth every other week for a while and see how that goes.

Now that's funny stuff.
Get a belt. 16 bucks for shipping is a lot less costly than blowing a testicle out your eye socket.
Don't even think about going down in weight on your squats next week. You finished the sets. You'll be stronger next week. Quit whining.
yeah, my orbital sphincters are kinda sore from having to hold my eyes in their holes. Good facial muscle workout. Definitely have better forehead and eyelid tone.
