In Las Vegas so I decided to check out the desert breeze community center. A day pass was $4 and the weight room wasn't worth any more than that.
On a separate note, being in Vegas and out of my home schedule has meant less intense workouts (not really workouts, but more assorted outings/exercise) and no full rest days. 7-7-2016 will be a full rest day.
Squats 5x5 @ 115lb
Points to consider
- All that was available was a smith machine. I used it, but since it's so different I saw no point in making a vid
- Back felt fine during moves, but the balance felt much different when using the machine
Bench press 5x5 @ 95lb
Points to consider
- Listening to a handful of different TV stations at the same time is a bit distracting
- Still seeing the bar go up asymmetrically
- I want to be more consistent about where the bar touches my chest
- The weight doesn't feel very difficult yet, but I am starting to have to try a bit.
Row 5x5 @ 110lb
Points to consider
- Feels a bit scrunched at times, especially when I try to clench my abs/glutes.
- Helps to really concentrate on the 'explosive' pull or I may not bring the bar to touch my chest.
