Screw Around

November 26, 2021

Decided to just screw around a bit today. I wanted a 700 pull but it wasn't there today. I'll accept that as I haven't been training for it anyways. 

18" Axle Deadlift 503/553/593/643 x 1 683 x F/F just above my knee. I was going to do a 3x3 with 593 but I'm bagged. 

Played a bit with my power twisters and had some good attempts with the 100kg iHuniu.

Feeling pretty bagged today. Too weak so I'll attempt again tomorrow or Friday. Lacking sleep as I get older hits like a 3 day hangover.

W3 Squat

W1 Deads

November 17, 2021

Week 1

Reset for a new cycle. Did paused deads with the straight weight for a change.

Pulldowns the way I saw Ryan Humelston(sp?) doing them. Elbow remains fixed at 90' so it's more like a pullover. Feel it a lot in the lats.

CS negs 5 count down. Holy crap! Two hand concentric then a nice one-handed eccentric. Effective.

Paused Deadlift 415 x 6 x 3r
DO Axle Deads - rest week
Barbell Row 225 x 3 x 8r
Pulldowns 135 x 3 x 10r
One Armed Seated CS Row Negs 170 x 2 x 5r

Futzing with the Baby Inch and hub lifting a 45 between sets.

Bench

November 5, 2021

Last week with the 120's. Reset to the 90's for high reps next time around. I wish today I was maxing my press. Pretty sure that 265 would've been easy and I could've attempted 275. Oh well. Even with the gimpy shoulder they were feeling good. Nice and warm outside. That's not going to last for long. Pretty interested in seeing what the public gyms here have for dumbbells since mine stop at 120 (for now). 

Trimmed some accessory sets. Getting tuckered.

W1 Squat

November 3, 2021

Week 1. Two days of high fiber made their presence known during my first workset. 1-0 home gym.

Side note, I can definitely feel where the left pad squished my anterior delt when I was doing the 500# plus stuff last week. Cognoscente.

November 1, 2021

Last day of this cycle and the last day lifting outside this year. Didn't get where I wanted but I think I did ok with my shoulder giving me this much pain. 

Push Press to 195/205/215/225/235/245/255 x 1r and two failed lockouts at 265
