2nd workout of week 8. squat 90% for 5 sets of 5 reps. No wraps or suit.
bench still light at 70% Deadlifts at 80%
on squat it seems like I am not going to make even the 1st rep on the 1st set but the 5th rep on the 5th set is really good.
I need to do a warmup on the platform and tell the judges to watch the 2nd rep.
See what Friday bring with 92% for squat. Four weeks to go after this week.

Ok, so you didn't make the 1st rep of the 1st set, but you make the 5th rep of the 5th set, I think I can buy that. hahaha Sorry, Larry, that just sounded really funny to me. I'm a blonde, what can I say. Keep up the good work. Robbin

Robbin I DO make the 1st rep of the 1st set but it feels so heavy and hard that it SEEMS like I won't make it but the last rep of the 5th set is so easy. 5 sets of 5 reps takes a lot out of me. Just wondering how long I can keep this up. Tomorrow I will be doing 92% of my max at the Natural Nationals. I have 4 more weeks to go with swquating 3X a week. Garage is hot, it has been in the high 80's this week. I guess it's my age.

Larry, this sounds like a "killer" workout. 92% 5 x 5 at our age I don't know, but if you can do it, great. I was hoping to lift at Mesa in May, but thinking I will not be ready, and so maybe do a later national meet. Take care. Keith
