Workout with Tyree #9
Made the 148 lb. squat without a problem. I seem to have broken through that problem I was having with the 143 lb. squat. I just had to learn that it’s okay to feel like you are falling forward. You just need to keep your head up and not give up.
I’m at the 88 lb. bench right now, and we did not try to go higher. I know that the jump to 90+ lb. will be major. It’s so hard to gain upper body strength.
I failed at the 192 lb. deadlift. This is my first deadlift failure, and it was very strange. I swooped down to pick it up and it just didn’t budge. John said the powerlifters say that it’s like it is nailed to the floor. I told him that I was worried that I wasn’t working the deadlift enough since I didn’t do any during my exercise week, and he told me to start doing deadlifts with small plates – so I have to work harder to get it off the floor.
I’m not too sad about the deadlift since I made that big squat.
