Squats
bar x 10
135lb x 5
185lb x 5
205lb x 5
225lb x 5
235lb x 3

Squats felt like sh!t. I was planning more but my energy levels were craptastic.


Bench
bar x 10
45lb x 10
95lb x 8
105lb x 8
115lb x 8
105lb x 8

Superset with...

DB Rows
35lb x 12
45lb 3x12

I'm able to put a little more weight on my shoulder each week.

Thoughts

I felt like I was starting to get sick yesterday. My sleeps lately have been ballztastic so that is probably wearing me down. I think next week I will start back into the 5/3/1 with everything but just do as much weight as my body lets me do. Back to 4 days a week will be nice I think.

IW

have you tried taking anything for teh sleepingz?

I had thought about it for a while but then my sleeping really improved there for a bit so I kind of put it to the back of my head... Just had a sh!tty week again. So hopefully it's just a blip and I'll be back into it right away.

Military Press
bar x 10
65lb x 8
95lb x 5
115lb x 3
125lb x 3,4
135lb x 2
115lb x 6

I was shocked to see how much weight I was able to do without pain... and how weak I've gotten ... Oh well.


Narrow Pulldowns
50lb x 10
80lb x 10
100lb x 10
120lb x 10
140lb x 10


Chin Ups
bw 2x5

Full extension is still a bit of an issue but overall it was not too bad.

Thoughts

Well I think I'll start my squat on the 5/3/1 this week with 275lb as my max and start my MP next week with 145lb as my max just to see how it goes.

We checked out "IronWorks" today... it has much older equipment and a lot more focus on powerlifting and bodybuilding... Alot of the stuff is really beat up and mismatched though. Price vs. my old gym is about the same but it's way easier to park at this new place and it's not nearly as busy inside.

Not sure what we'll do yet. There is some cool stuff I'd like to use like the log press, some chains, kettle bells, a monolift, etc... but it's pretty dirty, stinky, and generally beat up....

probably better music at the new gym too

BW:185.6lb


Deadlifts
60kg x 5
90kg x 4
110kg x 3
130kg x 3
140kg x 3
150kg x 3

80kg 5x10

Seems I can deadlift with no problems now. My strength has definitely dropped but hopefully it comes back. I think I'll start my 5.3.1 for DLs at 170kg.


Thoughts

It seems my body has taken a pretty major leap forward in healing in the last couple of weeks. I have a feeling that bench may need a bit yet but we shall see.

Thoughts

Sell that bike and buy a bench shirt

Problem solved.

Your welcome ; - )

Bike is sold. lol I don't think I'll be buying a bench shirt. I personal prefer to stay raw.

But anyways, I'm back from the farm and now it's time to get serious about the gym again.
