Okay... so the last week of training was supposed to be as prescribed warm ups, then use the prescribed weight to do as many reps as possible... but, realistically, you should get 10+... as well, a belt is okay... although I forgot when I did deadlifts
Incline bench I bumped the weight up from 70lbs to 80lbs for the last set because I think I underestimated my numbers... I believe I got 12 reps.
Deadlifts the weight was 205lbs... I did 20 reps before stopping... they were starting to get uglier at this point. Following that, I did 5s @ 225,245
Bench the weight was 90lbs and I did 14 reps. I really wanted 15, but I am not supposed to actually reach failure, so I opted to leave it at 14... not sure I could've locked out that 15th one.
Squats the weight was 190lbs. I did remember to use a belt for this... I got to 12 reps. I had just run a 5km race the night before, but that's not really a good excuse because 5km isn't very far (I did it in just over 31 min). I was struggling to keep my upper back tight by the 12th rep and the bar was starting to roll and my wrists were bending and getting sore... I was also starting to do my squat-morning, so opted to leave it at 12. Then, did a couple doubles with belt and wraps at 225, 245.
On Monday, for some recovery work on my legs, the husband and I went and ran stairs at Heritage Park... eek! It was tough... but fun and over fast... we did the "down-up" 5 times in total... long enough at the top to just catch your breath before heading down again.
Tuesday I went in and did some close grip bench work... I haven't done any close grip stuff in weeks. Did an easy 10-2 (65,75,85,95,105), then some incline DB presses, single arm pushdowns with a band, assisted pull ups, TRX inverted rows, abs... I think that's it... It was quick...
