HIIT/CC
CC: pushups/leg raises
Pushups - step 6
1st workset 1x15, 1x14
2nd workset 1x13, 1x14
Leg raises - step 1
1st workset 1x40, 1x25,1x21
2nd workset 1x20, 1x18, 1x15
HIIT:
was really lazy about this not to mention I had an exam early that morning so I was studying while running. Pretty much only did HIIT for 10 mins then was walking at really high speeds for another 10 mins (though I remember running towards the end as well). Either way I've been pretty sore from my legs so it might have been best. I'll see if it's necessary to add another rest day tomorrow.

Leg press 270lbs 6,6,6,6,6,6
Static hold:
Cable crunch 70lbs(?) 1x12sec, 1x10sec
Good workout yesterday. My failure on my last sets was probably due to bringing the safety bars on the squat rack higher than necessary (no spotter). I'll refrain from that next time.

CC: Handstand pushups
Handstand Pushups - step 2
- 1st workset 1x8sec
- 2nd workset 1x16sec
Woke up 30 mins later than I usually do and decided I would head over to the gym for HIIT first. By the time I got home I didn't have much time on my hands before class so I decided I'd only do handstand pushups since they'd be the shortest. Turns out my professor didn't even show up today...
Will be adding a rest day after this workout.

EDT:
DB curls 30lbs 6,6,6,7
Weighted dips 45lbs 6,6,6,6
Was reallyt feeling scared about this run considering I only did 205x2 on my last upper workout. But I completely forgot how important rest days were and I wasn't doing a good job of listening to my body. Lesson learned and I'm pretty damn excited about my upcoming max's.

GLP Lower #4
Squat:
153x10
220x2
That's all I did. My lower back was hurting pretty bad and decided it was better to stop and let it heal. I'm still debating on what to do. Here are two options I've come up with:
- Allow my body to rest till my back gets ready (though I fear it might be my spine) and continue with GLP #4.
- OR completely ignore GLP #4 and go about as scheduled as if I did GLP #4 today and restart with GLP #5. (I feel that this might be the better option, though I'm still uncertain).
Just not sure how big of an impact skipping this workout will have on the end result. But I think they amount of rest days from now till then is sufficient and I surely can't wait till it completely heals for my next workout.

Static Hold:
Decline bench 275lbs 1x8sec (did this on the actual decline instead of the smith machine. This was terrible for my wrists and couldn't do much more. Will probably stick to the smith machine for now on.)
My back is doing terrible so I'm not even sure I'll be able to get my next lower workout in. Thinking I'm going to have to take a few weeks off before I bother attemption any lower body workouts that involve pressure on my back. Might head to the gym on my lower day and do some cable machines that wont offer much stress.

Great work man, pumped to see your new 1RM on workout 6!
Do consider just ONE extra rest day prior to maxing out, if the situation calls for it. Also, visualize yourself making your 1RM not for a single - but for a TRIPLE!
Do this no less than 3x/day leading up to that max, with at least one of those sessions coming prior to sleep.
For what the mind can conceive, the body will achieve!
