Week 4: 5/30/11
1st time I had to workout after I got home from work! I don’t like working out after work as the last few times I did it my performance was sub par. No choice today due to my gym closing early for Memorial Day.

Workout Notes:
Squats:
Increased the weight by another +10 lbs due to last session felt light. next session will be only +5 lbs progression now that it is at a respectable weight for me.
Think for the most part it was fine.
Saw a couple of reps with slight butt wink but I don’t think it was severe.Overhead Press:
Still not happy with this lift.
Not happy with wrist positioning and also trying to find that right breath control for it.
Will try again as I add +5 lbs next session.Deadlift:
Added +20 lbs due to the weight feeling light last session.
After watching my work set I think I should have just increased by +10 lbs instead.
I can lift the weight no problem but it looks like I am pulling more with my back instead of pushing up with my legs.
Next session going to figure out if I should add +5 or +10 lbs while fixing my form.Pull-ups:
Increased the weight by +10 lbs as it seems like a good idea at the time.
I was able to do it all and was kinda tough.
Definitely only a +5 lb increase next session.Prone Bridge:
Good sets.
Still not ready for the prone Plate Switches I think.
