Strength log for Tuesday, November 25th

Another successful workout on the books.

Started with physio homework, getting my right hip into the socket and hanging out there for a couple of minutes. 

Did some lazy push ups with a couple of 45# plates on my butt.

Added some bretzels and even got up into a wall facing handstand, trying to touch toes and nose.  Close, but not quite.

Did some ankle mobility work that Duane from the Y showed me. Kinda like this:

Then I had to decide what to do.

The only thing that made sense was bench.  I wasn't fresh enough for a press 1 rep max attempt, squats were yesterday.  I just finished the bench cycle, so I didn't need to go heavy.

Decided to try for max reps at 185#.   That didn't work out so well when I ran out of juice at 5.  Decided to salvage it by doing week 2 of the next strength cycle.  80% of my new max (230#) just happens to be 185#, so I did two more sets of 5 and called it a day.

Pretty stoked that I can hit 3 sets of 5 at 185#.
