Hey man, I've got my girlfriend trained. She asks when she can spend HER money. She realizes that it's really OUR money. Now kids....uh we'll talk about that in 5+ years.

Similar. But me and the gf have a joint account for bills and food. Then the rest goes into our own accounts which we spend as we please. We are both frugal tho lol. She even coupons for us.

Again with the pull-up PR. Not exactly a flashy lift, but it's fun to be seeing progress. The rest was pretty standard. Just plugging away.

All three racks were taken when I got in so I had to improvise. It was already late so I just did whatever.

Nice work lately dude.. I wish my gym had 3 racks, only have 1.. It's often used for the wrong purposes too lol.

Thanks!

And we recently got a third (which took place of a smith machine thank god). I must have came at a weird time because I never have to wait for a rack

Felt strong warming up so I went with it. Took what was there and it happened to be some nice PRs. I'd love to take a wack at 365 before the New Year (without putting on weight...if I were to balloon back up to 220 I'd probably hit it for a triple haha). Too many RPE 10s, but yolo.

Run 1 Mile...Death.

Good amount of submaximal repetitions on the deadlift. 405 felt amazing when I was locked in. Lost form at 455 so I cut it there. Not terribly heavy, but I'm dead set on fixing my technique.

Exhausting work week so this is the only my second session this week. I'll be sure to get back on track next week. Probably needed a little break anyway. Been pushing hard now for quite a few weeks.

Stay strong AM.

I was good for 355 today. No doubt. But 345 is a 5lb PR so I figured why risk it. Felt good.

Too much volume today. I was lifting with a buddy he just wanted to keep going. Whatever haha.

Stay strong AM.
 
Is the extra volume bad?
Nice job on the PR!

Pleased with today's session. Squatting feels good again. I will slowly keep piling the weight on. Keeping reps in the 3-5 rep range, more than likely. For now.

CG is as strong as ever. 315 moved like butter. Last year I highly doubt I could have CG'd more than 275-285. No doubt it's made my competition bench stronger.

Then some assistance. Gonna hit some more assistance tomorrow.

Squatted again. Just felt like it, honestly. No rhyme or reason. Fronts aren't taxing in the slightest (in terms of recovery) so it's whatever. Snagged a fairly easy PR.

Then some back, shoulders, and arms. The usual.

Stay strong AM.

Do you write these workouts or just try to hit everything a few times a week and go up in weights, reps, or sets?

Oh, I've been terrible with following any type of consistent programming lately. All I've been doing is squatting twice, benching twice, OHP'ing once, deadlifting once, and hitting what I feel like is a decent amount of assistance work. No doubt I'd benefit from something more structured, but I'm seeing results and having fun so I'll take it.
