Squat and calf raise video

Here is a quick video of my combo squat/calf lift. We had one of Dave, too, but Captain Shaky Hands couldn't hold the camera straight after his set (that's me, by the way!):

Some squat and some bench

Dave and I lifted again today.  He outdid me by running 8 miles before the lift...I can't even contemplate a number like that!!  I worked up to 315 on squat for a set of 10 as a combo with some calf raises, and on bench worked up to 245 for 8 reps.  The latter wasn't heavy at all, I just am not able to do a complete lift without it hurting.  That is the heaviest I've gone in a few months!

And if you get a chance, check out yesterday's video.  I figured out how to rotate it in Windows Movie Maker - I should know how to do this sort of stuff as I'm not that old, but I guess we learn something new every day! 

And, here is today's workout:

Full body day

I got a good full body lift in today with Dave.  We hit deadlift, biceps, triceps, abs and some upper back for a pretty good weight total and a fair amount of soreness!  Here I am doing tricep extensions with 100s:

Here is Dave - we didn't actually clean today, but it made for a good picture anyway!

Our first video - yes, it is sideways, and we'll fix that next time, but for now, just turn your head and enjoy curls on 135 with a negative.  This was the very last set of the workout, so I'm happy I got through it since we'd already done quite a few arm exercises and some pull-ups!

Bench day

A bench day with Dave...Dave, thanks for making me bench even though I was being a baby about my shoulder!!  We did a few plateaus, and Dave did heavy 3x5 (inside to outside) while I did "heavy" holds as I couldn't handle close-grip or wide-grip bench.  185 is the most I've benched in a few months.  It didn't feel heavy at all, but I didn't want to push any it any further today while I'm still trying to recover.  We rounded out with some burn-outs, abs, and stretching:
