W10T1 Press, W5 Dead’s

March 18, 2024

W10T1 Press. W5 Dead's. Finally feeling healthy again. These upper/lower days take too damn long. Might split the press to a lunchtime session. 

Side notes; deadlifts sure feel light after front squats. Also just a couple months away from 52. Supposed to be not lifting heavy, blah, blah, but this is what keeps me motivated. Granted I do need to up (add) the cardio. Haven't been getting out as much this past year for good walks and that needs to change. Plus dropping 30# would help a lot. And another thing; dating an elementary school teacher isn't the best way to stay clear of vile illnesses. 

Strict Press 185 x 2 x 3r, 195 x 5 x 1r

Front Squat 151k (333#) x 3 x 3r

Deadlift 475 x 3 x 3r

CS T-Bar Row 90 x 2 x 12r

W9T1 & W9H Press

March 11, 2024

W9T1 Press. Oogy. Lost 5# since Friday and I ate and drank normally today. Guts don't feel right. I was intending on doing my front squats and dead's on Tuesday but I think I'm going to stay away from hinging this week. 

Strict Press 185 x 3 x 3r, 195 x 4 x 1r

W9H. Having a training partner would probably help me remember to get through on my last rep… First time trying the incline db extensions. Feels a lot different to me. Want to stay in the 4-6 rep range for this last block. 

Face Pulls LT x 4 x 25r

Strict Press 170/195 x 5r, 205 x 6r

Pin Press (Forehead) 205 x 4.5/2 - effed up my gas tank a tad

W7T1 Press W4 Squat

February 26, 2024

W7T1 Press W4 Squat. Just plunking along. For some reason the SSB squats are feeling really tough this cycle which is weird as I could triple this plus 100# a few weeks ago. Add some more squat specific accessories maybe. Could also be I'm squatting 3x every two weeks but with the reduced volume I wouldn't have expected this. Getting old is interesting.

Got a massive cramp in my abs trying the sandbag rows. Ouch! Must've been from being all curled over and stabilizing. Hit the upper back good though.
