310X5, 5
Bench - 195X3X5
Chin-Ups - BWX5, 4
Negative Chins (0/0/3) - BWX4X4
After failing on Squats on Monday, I could have taken several approaches: Repeat the attempts, reset to 90%, do 1 set of 5 followed by 2 back-off sets at 90%, switch programs. My low back has been giving me low level achy-ness fairly continually for a couple of weeks, so I didn't want to try the sets again, and since I failed on the first set, I wasn't even stoked about the idea of a set of 5. At the same time, the LP has generally been running so well, I didn't want to do a full reset, and certainly didn't want to jump to a different program. So I settled on a slightly different approach. I went UP in weight for the first set, but reduced reps to a triple. Then followed with the two back-off sets of 5 @ 90%. This felt really good. This is the approach I plan to take as all the lifts stall out, and we'll see how it goes:
Bench felt fairly weak on the 1st and 2nd sets, but I get a lift-off for the 3rd set and it went well.
Chins also felt stronger.
