Notes:

Squats and DL in the same workout, unless a deload, is too much for me. I was exhausted, and nothing felt smooth. Probably because I’ve been inconsistent with them.

Incline bench would be a PR because I’ve never had that much on the bar. Fewer flat sets yesterday or one more day off and I would’ve had 3/3+ easy.

Packing the final things for my trip to Tampa. I may Planet Fitness dome accessory days because it’s cheap and across the street, then maybe a powerhouse day or two. I’ve knocked out my 3’s week in 2 days so that’s a plus.

Hey dude, been slacking on logs lately. Congrats on the 315! Hitting a 315 bench is always a big milestone.

Thanks! It is huge to me for sure. For a couple years I though I was 1 press away from never doing it again.

Went to planet fitness after class. The options there are soooo limited. I figured a back and bicep pump day would be easy, but no. That place is ridiculous.

I remember those struggles you had. Glad your issues have seemed to resolve. Maybe that period of lightened training frequency did your tendons and ligaments some good.

You mean you cant get a back workout in with 40 lb dbs and a smith? Im sort of surprised you didnt get "lunk alarmed" when you walked in the door.

The options really were ridiculous unless you liked treadmills. You couldn’t even “lunk” because nothing there caused exertion. Even the pull down bars were coated in memory foam

I went to Powerhouse today. Small but larger than the outside appeared. Most of there equipment was soooo old. The hammer strength stuff had 2x’s drilled into them for support. Everything was fun down and dirty, and I’m not sure they even had AC.

Probably the best gym I’ve ever been too. Not lying. They had everything I need, no fancy crap. All York and Barbell Standard plates. They were beautiful.

Both bench racks had the type of each that shoots back, so you have to immediately balance the weight when you lift off. I hate those kinds.

10s PR on bench. Was hoping for 11 and might have had it with a liftoff and no pauses. I took long pauses on all sets except the top.

My low back is trashed from moving concrete blocks yesterday. It’s been sensitive for a while likely due to lack of accessory work or consistency with DL or Squats. Going to try and loosen it up throughout the week

Once again, pain free. Squats felt good using a belt for the first time in months. Weak because I’ve slacked.

Went hunting yesterday and kiddo snatched some protein. Headed to the butcher now to have some ground up. Probably roasted shoulder tomorrow.
