This was an impressive day. I also can't imagine doing 225 for RDLs and a 315 DL on the same day, AFTER also doing power cleans. Looking strong, brother!
Drawback here is, whatever you lift the second day will be with muscles only 24 hours into recovery. So it’s not like you can get an effective second protein synthesis/recovery cycle in; you will...
Next week will be ugly. as of right now I'm leaning towards:
Monday = Bench/Squat
Tuesday = OHP/Deadlift
Weds-Fri = Travel
When I get back, I'll maintain my current nutrition but add fruit mid...
Boy I was NOT feeling it today, I wasn't going to try to rush a lunch session. I could have been talked into skipping I think, but I knew I"d end up going after work, on my way to pick up my boy...

oh yeah, I did actually grab another snapple today for fun experiement out the vending machine at work and waited till I got to the gym to open it and spread those 200 calories over the session...
years ago insurance gave us the belt loop type and if you hit your metrics ( I think it was 6 x 5min walks, 30min walking total, and 10k steps) you got $3/day in insurance rebates lol. $90/month...

Notes
That's all the time I had. BBS decision was sorta made on the fly. RX BBB would have been 5 x 10 x 100lbs...
This is actually something I struggle with as a desk / office worker. Sometimes my only real movement is going downstairs to get lunch. So I do try when my schedule allows, to at least take 15...
I'm super proud of him. his drive is always wishy washy as a 17yr old so I reminded him he has only 29 weeks of training left to attempt a high school record before he graduates lol.

Man, are my legs sore!! Haven't had a leg day session like that in a long time and it shows.
But, back up and at it this AM! Just a little cardio on the bike to assist with bloodflow ,(30 mins...
Yeah, I did that this time around because NYC is just a train ride away. I wouldn't go this route if I had to fly though. Even packed my weight belt this trip!
In that case, I opt for just...
This is why one day I'd love to get a live session in with some PL gym bros to really diagnose my technique. As just demonstrated, that alone can add pounds to the bar!
