Log...it’s better than bad it’s good

[Hyde]

. She isn’t wrong. Fuggin cheaters!!!!

So wait, the biggest deadlift that’s ever happened in all of history was also using straps and not drug-tested? Pffff. Cheaters….

 

[wfreiling]

Did a little pressing today. I love shoulders. I might be able to press more with the yukon than the power bar. The bend makes for a more comfortable press. It also hits the tris way harder. I feel great about what I just did.

It’s great to hear it felt so good. Always love to have that appreciation for the session.

What do you like better from Epichoas or Ursa Major from Apex? I haven’t tried either of those two yet.

Inner ear infection started last Thursday. Got meds Monday. Equilibrium was off so I didn’t get under a bar. I know I’m a sissy haha.

Anyway, I eased back into a push day today. Got restless not lifting. Kept it short and to the point.

Working on the sticking point after only getting one rep of 225. Coming up the from the bottom of the beard is where I struggle. I set each rep down for about 3 seconds and then exploded.

I’m currently not running anything other than my staples. Work is killer this time of year so Training isn’t what I’d like it to be, though I will progress and train smart.

I think it’s so much harder honestly, but a lot of guys do like it more (SSB for fronts).

That’s when you flip it backwards right? I think I’ve seen that before but never tried. Transformer has a front squat setting that feels very similar to a straight bar, just a little bit easier on the hold.

Yea that’s it

Bummer, today I had a weird tingle in my left bicep. I sleep with arm under my pillow so it’s kinda normal in the morning. However, after the 4x195 it started down to my hand. I pushed forward and it didn’t get worse but it’s all I could think about so I ended the session early. Risk is not worth the reward of one training session.

Yeah, I took it super easy today just in case. Gonna squat tomorrow instead of pull to rest my arms. I feel like I’m starting to feel older all the sudden.

Used the Texas power bar for squats today and they felt great. The Yukon requires a bit of balance so I think training with it has improved my squat using a power bar. Had the number 8 in my head so that what I shot for. Quads are burning.

Back to feeling 100% pressing. Gonna focus on volume for a while rather than strictly heavy weight. My work life is about to get crazy. I run a small club space after hours and this week I’m bartending 4 back to back nights, getting home around 3:30am. The following week I open my new outside bar. It’s about to get real. I also booked 4 tattoo appointments to get my right arm sleeved haha. All in all life is good. Wednesday I celebrated 10 years of sobriety, which I still can’t wrap my head around. I don’t wanna say training is taking a backseat though I will say I gotta focus on everything else a little bit more these days. I’ll still be updating this log but I’m sure my time on here won’t be as frequent over the spring/summer months.

Congrats on 10 years! That’s solid commitment. I feel ya on the work schedule. Getting my dick kicked in the past 2 weeks prepping for summer, new menus, new hires, fuggin inventory and everything else that comes with it. It’s not all glorious.

Thank you.

Haha yea man. I have 5 bartenders but my new schedule will need 8 in the next few weeks sooooo…. Already dropped all my menus and set my lines so at least that’s out of the way.

Work sucks, I just wanna workout! Damn these necessary evils. I remember when they shut everything down for covid, i deadlifted every week, ate great, rested and recovered. If I tried that with my current schedule I would snap my spine lol. High stress late weekend nights take their toll on a guy.

Dude I was living with my in-laws rent free, waiting for the market to open up to buy, selling weights and working out daily!

My spotter arms only go as low as knee level. It’s the way the bracket is on the half rack conversion kit I added. So today, I found a use for my 35s, I stacked 2 and stood on top of them for rack pulls. This put the bar about 3” below the knee. Perfect. However strength, focus and everything else just wasn’t there today. I’m having trouble getting back into the groove.
