C2W3D3: 2/24/12

Around 7 hours of solid sleep before work.
When I got home I walked my dogs then went straight to the gym.
Felt good (9/10) as I arrived at the gym.
Made sure to eat some extra meals while I was at work.
(Protein Shake with Chili + Rice then Pork Chop Mixed Vegetables then Chili + Rice again 1.5 hours before I drove to the gym)
Felt real good about myself during the whole session.
Still need to work on some form issues but overall a good session.

First 2 work sets felt easy enough.
Trying to work on that hip movement.
Top set got difficult and almost failed on the 4th rep.
Happy to get the 5 rep goal for today despite it being a struggle.
Think I maybe doing some excessive layback or could just be the angle of the camera.
Either way there is always next session to improve.

Rest between each superset was 2.5 minutes each.
BBB BP felt super easy again.
Think I managed to get perfect setup while doing it (too bad I don’t film my assistance work but it at least felt perfect!)
I just felt powerful while doing this today and managed to get all 10 reps on the Pull/Chin-ups!

BB Curls superset with Overhead Tricep Extension:

BB Curl: 45 x 10
Tricep Extension: 35 x 10
–
BB Curl: 45 x 10
Tricep Extension: 35 x 10
–

Tricep Extension: 35 x 10

I remember reading something by Wendler that these assistance work should take no effort at all.
So I decreased the weight from the last session and decided to superset them.
Fun to do.
I just did a nice steady pace on the curls but the tricep extension felt way too light.
