Another day of the Madcow Intermediate 5x5 routine. The gym opened at 12:00 in the noon instead of 6:30 in the morning. I was reluctant to go so late as the crowd generally freaks me out but I was too eager to hit the iron. This is what I did today :
Squats: 150x5 , 185x5, 225x5, 260x5, 300x4
I was supposed to do 5 reps in the last set too, but just missed it ! I really got nervous with so many people in the gym today (yeah, I am a little crowd conscious)... I almost made it ... Getting pissed off even thinking about it !
Bench : 100x5, 125x5, 150x5, 175x5, 200x3
Again, missed 2 reps .. I felt like smashing my fist against the bar but had another exercise left so backed off. By the way, the missed rep of squats was bugging me and I gave up without trying more on the 4th rep. Could have got it easily if I had screamed but again with so many people around today, I didn't feel like it.
Pendlay Rows: 45x5 , 90x5, 110x5, 130x5, 145x5
This went smooth as it was fairly light. I am still learning proper form with this exercise. After this I went and did some cable rows to call it a day. One of the bad days at training. But who said its gonna be easy?
