Workout felt great today. No jumps because I was trying to get it in before the Crossfitters took over the gym. Stupid Crossfit. Anyway, here goes:
Warm up as usual, adarq, you're right when you say jumping rope wears out the shoulders. I did some higher speed stuff today and was definitely feeling it.
Work- Squat 3x5x225 (two plates!)
- Bench 3x5x165
- Dead lift 5x300
Cool down stretch
Considering that the first time I ever tested a dead lift 1RM, last December, I could lift 275, 5 reps of 300 going up easy feels pretty good. Progress continues to be week to week, although some of that is probably still the fact that I scaled back a little from my 1RMs when estimating the progression. Some is probably neural. Also I've gained a little bit of weight (~5lbs) since then. Not sure I like that, I have no interest in being much more muscular than I am, but it's not a big deal.
