    I hit some bench press and cable rows again last night. Benched from 125 up to 225 doing sets of ten, then a set of 125x40 because sadomasochism.

    Saturday was kind of a bust. I went to the garage to lift with my wife before the kids' soccer games, but couldn't get my hips and back to work right in the amount of time we had, so I couldn't really squat. Sunday, the plan was to bench up to a heavy single, then hit it for a handful of triples...

    I couldn't leave well enough alone and benched again tonight, with a little bit of pain. Triples up to 265, then 285 with the Slingshot band thing. Axle for all sets.

    Pretty decent skwaat session today. I did a bunch of paused singles at the beginning, trying to find a wider stance that works for me. I've been keeping the squats pretty light the past few weeks while trying to relearn them and increase my mobility. I think it's starting to pay off, because...

    Wendler's 5/3/1 Sucks.

    Fair enough. I'm not claiming to be 100% right all the time or suggesting anyone shouldn't use 5/3/1. The point is only that you should like what you do.

    Wendler's 5/3/1 Sucks.

    I don't suppose you read the actual blog post? The title was a bit click-baity, but I am definitely not against 5/3/1.

    Thanks man! This isn't really related to my training per se, but seems like a good enough place to add it. I've started a blog about training and put up the first entry yesterday. I'd be honored if anyone wanted to bookmark or share it. The link is in my signature and the first post is absolute...

    Wendler's 5/3/1 Sucks.

    Apologies in advance for the self promotion, but I recently started a blog where I'll be discussing training for strength sports. The first post went up yesterday and I'm anxious to get some views and opinions. Please check it out if you have a few minutes. Invalid Link Removed

    I've been having some pain where my right tricep and delt meet, as well as my left elbow, so the benching plan is a little tentative right now. Last night, I benched 105x50, 25, 25 with matching rows between sets. This morning was supposed to be deadlifts and 10x10 dumbbell bench, but the pain...

    Feeling a little beat up today, but did some shoulders and arms anyway because I hate rest days. A couple drop sets of concentration curls with 70, 50, and 30 using fat grips. I cheated a bit on the 70s...obviously. Several sets of strict BTN press at 105x10. 200 bench dips. 100 rear delt flies...

    Decent lifting today. I practiced squats again, then went into deadlift assistance stuff. I worked on sitting back more in the squats and keeping my torso upright. I don't know if I'm actually stronger like this or if it's just because it limits me from dropping way below parallel. I was...
