Strong OHPs. Restraint is always good, specially in a situation like that. Would be hard pressed myself but with old age does come a little calmness.

I feel like you probably see more of this stuff in your line of work than I do, I hear you but I bet you have better restraint than I do!

wait who you calling old aged?

Squats

Notes
Tested new location on the way home since mine is closing. I'm honestly a little sad at how great it is. We have two belt squat machines!

Never tried more than 10 at this weight but 15 was insanely possible. Maybe 20 in a comp setting.

I was honestly nervous about this session and I destroyed it. Another short one, but effective imo.

That was a great leg day…bet you had a good leg pump after that. Congrats on the PR, and the new gym looks nice.
Hopefully you don’t have to deal with old man balls in that locker room.

225 moved a bit slow, my first 3 reps of 255 were slow but I told myself just one rep at a time and see what we got. by rep 8 or 9 they got easier and easier. I was honestly very surprised not only to hit my 13 but to easily take 15.

I don't have tiktok but my buddy sent me this for reasons you'll see in the first 2 seconds. I was like "I know her, she's a local trainer". apparently they had her promote the new remodel at the other location, and this remodel is why my favorite one was closed down. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8pouAM9/

Its honestly pretty great. I'm bummed cause a chapter is ending and all my lifting bros have already dispersed to their new gym homes but the equipment here is insanely good stuff. the knurling on the new barbells is crazy. my grip will be fantastic and my hands will be bloody

Hopefully you don’t have to deal with old man balls in that locker room.

bent over yesterday to tie my shoe as older fat dude turns around buckass naked but at least he wasn't predatory about it lol.

Can't remember if I mentioned this but got home late weds night, the night after our raid, and my stepdaughter had made me a sandwhich.

So for anyone keeping score, I now have two women making me sammiches.
I told my wife last night that the next time my stepdaughters best friend comes over (which I think she's staying the weekend) I'm going to just put out all the stuff required to make a sandwich and see if i can go 3 for 3. #winning

today is also ironically probably my best gym opportunity of the week, but I've gone fairly hard all week and I restart Sunday with heavy bench. So I'm contemplating some sort of easy recovery GPP type stuff. Sleds, maybe pull-ups not sure. but my week would basically look like this then:

Sunday - bench
monday - cardio
tuesday - deadlift
wednesday - OHP
Thursday - squats
Friday - GPP
Saturday - rest, legit rest, even mild farm chores
Sunday - Bench week 2.

My recovery is high since I've only been hitting my big lifts on short sessions all week. But I don't want to hammer my chest and then not be recovered for Sunday so I'm on the fence with how to spend my opportunity to lift today.

Don’t work anterior muscles 48 hours before most important bench session. If bench was today, you could do muscles 48 hours after, but prioritize the performance.

New gym looks like it has everything you could want, so embrace the new era of sick options for getting even more jacked.

Also that girl’s TikTok is so awful; no attention span at all - every clip is too short to see any detail, just flashing images

this is the confirmation I was looking for. I will probably just knock out some light cardio and maybe swim a few laps. Energy and recovery are high so I want to capitalize on that, but not hinder Sundays work.

cracked me up that the trainer was opening up her promotional tiktok with her own booty shot lol.
But yeah I used to hit this location for LISS days on the way home but the lifting was no good. now all the sudden they've competely revamped. they must have well over 6 figures $$ invested. I can tell that quality bumper plates and power racks are a foreign idea to a lot of the people I saw in there walking around yesterday, but I am cautiously optimistic the vibe is improving and there will be a good collective testosterone level.

I know, they could have at least showed her ass a little longer.
