My knee was pretty hot and angry from whatever this morning so I was happy to get in a nice big upper body workout this afternoon. While I waited for the rack to open up, I knocked out the strict bodyweight movements I missed out on this morning. I didn't push the reps, but rather focused on eccentric squeeze and explosive movement.
This was my first day on Wendler's 5/3/1 and though I've started programs like this before, I'm committed to really seeing this through the four week cycle. Today was a pretty easy pressing day.
Struggled a little with my last rep of 135lbs, but was trying to make every rep a legit strict press and avoiding the excessive back arch of some of my heavier standing presses.
Finished up the day with more dips and pull ups and tried to get sets of 10 and 15. I'm really liking how my upper body is progressing.
More rowing and deadlifting tomorrow!
