Good lord man! I hate JM presses lol more because they aren't staples but I'd rather Jefferson Squat lol.

Man you've been sick a lot lately you ok?

Awesome the workout was still good though

Yeah, bud, thanks for checking up. I have no idea why I keep getting sick so close to midterms. Not that this really does anything, but I think I've eaten 20 oranges in the past 2 days (Vitamin C, like everything else, needs time to build up in the body). Placebo effect or not, I feel a bit better. I was super proud of myself for getting that 275 for 6 when I felt literally like crap. I even paused that last rep.

How about you? You're still training, yeah? I haven't seen you post in your log for awhile. Start it on up again, bud.

hour of stretching.

This sickness has now taken a toll on me. I would be VERY surprised if I could do my progression today.

Yea man, gotta stay at it and hoping to do some pretty crazy things come summer. I want to start it back up but my dedication to it fell hard working so much but I may start keeping back at it. I think it goes a good ways in terms of motivation and accountability.

Painful stuff, and that was it.
The movement: I hear you, bud. Life > Working out, am I right? I don't understand how people take those who literally live and breath fitness/aesthetic (there was even this one homeless body builder and everyone was like WHOA WHAT DEDICATION) and then put them on a pedestal, AND THEN go on to feel bad about their work ethic. As if they're not dedicated because they don't want to spend 15+ hours in the gym each weak or spend $100+ on their food bills lol. Fitness is apart of your life, not your life, right? It'll be waiting for you when you have the time. Until then I hope you're eating alright/doing a little something here and there.

So I'm bench pressing (on a crappy crooked bar) and I set up just perfectly so I'd have no problems. I ask this guy for a spot. The second I put my hands on the bar he tried to lift it over my chest before I was even ready. So I tell him to chill. THEN, this ****ing ass hole TWIST THE BAR IN MY HAND so that it rolls back in my hand therefore ****ing up my wrists. I get 280 for 5 like this and I rest for my 6th rep and he tries to rerack (put the weight back on the j hook) the barbell but I have to fight to keep it in position, therefore getting me out of my back arch so now I'm unstable. I tell him no 3x before he stops trying to rack it and then I bench press at a weird angle, but it would've gone up, AND THEN HE ****ING LIFTS THE WEIGHT WITHOUT ME ASKING HIM TO, AND HE DOES THIS BY LIFTING ONE SIDE HIGHER THAN THE OTHER. I'd like to believe there's a special place in hell for these incompetent ass holes.

BP
280x6 (and I'm counting it as 6 because if I could bench 280 after fighting off some ass hole trying to rerack it for 5seconds with an extremely uneven push id say if my spotter wasn't the duke of douche and a proud member of the global stupid club I would've been fine.)
260x8 (I had a petite girl spot me for this exercise and she did a damn good job)
235x9

My shoulder felt awful and it felt like I ripped my abdomen or had an extreme cramp after I lost my back arch

Db curls
70x6
60x 8
55x8

From there I just did some light superset because of how my shoulder a stomach felt

Push downs and lat pull downs

Done. Midterm in t-2 days, and the guy in the math help Center was so bad lol. I'm just 10/10 pissed today.

wednesday:
New gym and they have much thicker bars then I'm used to, so the weight went down a bit.

MP
170x3 (this is when I knew that the weight was going to need to go down until I got used to the much thicker bars)
135x8
115x10

Chin Up
40x6
25x8
5x10

My knees were pretty messed up (probably from the pistol squats) so I didn't do legs because walking was painful.

friday:

BP
270x6
250x8
230x10

Pendlay Row
240x5 (finally improvement)
215x8
195x10

Dip
80x6
70x8
55x10

Accessories: (every exercise has 60 seconds of rest between sets)
BB Curl
75x4x10

MP
115x10, 9
95x6
45x9

Single Leg Leg Press
1 PPSx4x10 as deep as possible.

My gym finally has even bars (one side isn't heavier than the other) and power racks, so I'm stopping pistol squats and going back to back/front squats.
