Thanks, Jinxie. 5s week is so taxing. Makes me want to belt up again

Definitely, particularly 5x5+. Well done.

I did just 4x5+ today, and my shoulders are pooped!

So, here is my plan. I will see how it plays out.

Next “week” I start singles, which typically is not taxing on me. Then, a deload of high volume bands, cables, and accessory work sticking to the same template.

I’ll reset my training maxes, maybe sans squat, and probably add the belt back in. My core is tight and strong. Of course, a couple weeks after adding a belt, I’ll have to up my training maxes again.

It’s my first arm-only day in a long time. It’s fun, and otherwise I would have needed a rest.

Landmine “rack” is in. Thanks again, Jinxie! $30 for this is a steal.

I also moved the TV out of my working space and added a sound bar so I can hear the TV over the industrial fan.

It’s the little stuff!

I made a gym platform for my RV trips (the RV is named Nymeria). Should be able to squat, deadlift, bench (with cooler), and do most accessory workouts on this thing with my bands.

Nostalgic — my first bench press was an old cooler with a cushion. Put some Miller High Life right there — but don’t drink it!

Very well done. You don’t mess around, sir!

You’ve been pushing damn hard the last 7 weeks or so, with fantastic results that speak for themselves. Good job listening to your body!
 
Love the platform!! Did you just eyeball the drawing?

Thanks for sharing the squat mobility! I saved that and some others too!

Thank you!

Yes. I eyeballed the first one then eye balled the second one. That’s why they don’t match each other.

Walked the dog for 30m.

This is true. It’s not so much the training. I think it’s more wearing that I’m going to school and working full time. The lifts felt relatively easy. My mind just wasn’t in it.

Nice PR dude! You really went for it, with that 190 lbs effort. I bet you get it the next cycle if not sooner.

You can’t kill it every time, right? But you’re killing it the great majority of the time. Can’t imagine enduring the stress of full time work and school while training so hard! Keep it up man.

OHP is one of my hardest lifts to PR on. I’m tempted to just stick with volume on it.

You are correct also. I am worried about getting comfortable not training again.

That’s a stout squat! Nice PR!

As for OHP, I don’t see any compelling reason to max at a particular juncture in time. It usually wipes me out and leaves a mark as well.
