Day 1-1 of 5x5



Back on 5x5.

Inclines were definitely harder at 45 degrees. last rep on the 75 took nearly 15 seconds.
..I think the 15cm-gap on the rail for the smith machine could hold a barbell,
for the sake of free-weight bb-pressing. Will test it out with damin later today..


Pullups superset with incline press always feels great, didn't use any extra weights today.
all 5 sets, every pullup was perfect...


BB rows are always an awkward movement... and not too sure about 1Rm or even the percentages.
Mostly due to the fact that it's so heavily reliant on bicep activiation, cheating, and how warmed up my core is.


Dips were done with two unweighted barbell bars, laid parallel on the squat rack. Weighted dips as usual. 10kgs on first set, then 20 kgs on the rest. Couldn't get past 4th rep on set 3~5.( Perhaps I should look into more isolation movements for lower chest...? Incline presses really tire out my triceps.
