W3 Conj Bench

April 4, 2026

W3 Conjugate bench day. First time in a "regular" bench position in ages. Left shoulder was a bit ouchy but not enough to stop. 

Red Slingshot Bench

161k x 1 - good enough to start

136k x 3/3/6

T-Bar Row 90 x 3 x 8r - worked up to 100# last week but 90# felt better so I'm going back there for a week or two. 

Horizontal Cable Extension 40 x 2 x 12r - a repeat but cleaner. Repeat again. Wincing is from my left shoulder…

Nautilus Curl 140 x 2 x 8r

W11 GGW2 Dead’s

April 2, 2026

Week 11 GGW2. Paused first work set of dead's. 

Deadlift 495 x 4 x 2r

SLDL 435 x 6r - looked back at my programming and I'm only supposed to be going to 6 reps now. Easier than the 425 last week. 

Sissy Squat +80 x 5/10/10r - felt like these were going to be much tougher with the weight mass further back holding dumbbells to my sides. Little bit. Just different to get used to more than anything.

W2 Conj Bench

March 26, 2026

W2 Conjugate bench day. Lowering the bar a little higher. Seems to feel better. Started with 3 chains but in the future I should use 2. I should run a couple of cycles with 3 though now that I've started. Just too high of a percentage of my 1RM. 

Axle Bench w/3c ~54k

139.5/149.5/159.5k x 1 - good starting weight

134.5k x 3/3/5

T-Bar Row 90 x 8, 100 x 8

Horizontal Cable Extension 40 x 5/12/12 - stay here. Left shoulder was pretty gimpy to start with. Last couple of reps were tough on the left. 

Nautilus Curl 100 x 5, 120 x 10

Between Sets W2D1

Axle 228 x 3 x 10 - accidentally did 3 sets

2x5 Saxon 155 x 5 x 3r

DB Wrist Curl 60e x 2 x 10r - grabbed it really uneven with my first set on the left.
