I've been stuck on food anologies lately. Last month it was bricks.

You need to diversify your analogy cookbook :biglaugh:

I thought you liked it :(

I did. But then I realized I had no more pumpkin pie!! I was left eating nutmeg and cinnamon

183lbs

Goodmornings 6 singles
185x1
195x1
205x1
225x1 *
205x1
205x1

Felt strong on GM's this morning, so I decided to push it a little bit and go for 225. Everything was good except I didn't go as deep, I made it about an inch or so shy of my usual depth, which is roughly parallel. The reason why I didn't go as deep was because I could feel that I was losing the arch in my lower back.

Rev. Lunges
40x9x2

Didn't feel like going to a 45lb dumbbell, so I progressed by adding a rep to each set. (9 reps per leg this week, 8 reps per leg last week)

Palloff Press
60x10x3

Tuesday October 21

179lbs

Cleans 6 singles
165x1

Didn't have my morning coffee so I'm surprised I managed these numbers.

Pullups
+10x6, +10x6, +10x5, +10x5

Added a rep to the first two sets.

Arnold Press
40x9x3

Added a rep to each set this week. Wasn't ready for the jump to 45's this morning

Biceps-Super 7s
60lb bb for 1 set, 55lb bb for 2 sets

Bit of a shitty workout in terms of energy, concentration and drive. I'm chalking that up to my lack of caffeine this morning, I'm never going to skip my morning coffee again! :D Still managed to turn it into a good day in terms of progression so I'm happy.

ever try to blend coffee in a protein shake with some ice and bring it to the gym?... So awesome.

I have! It's pretty damn good. :)

Hack Squats
330x3
340x3
340x3

Pullthroughs
190x10x2

Front Squat
115x6x2

Good day overall. Felt very strong on the hack squats and pullthroughs, I could've added 10-15lbs on these easy. I decided to keep the animal in check and let my progression move along at a slower pace, I know from my own experiences that rapidly loading up the bar is a recipe for stalled progression. :D

good stuff man. i have never, ever liked hack squats. just feels all unnatural to me.
