Who am I? Where is this? What am I doing? SilentBob's humble return

Volume on the increase! Public gyms are terrible places! Thank goodness for home gyms!

Legs:

Skwatts: 45x20, 95x12, 135x10, 185x8, 225x5, 225x5, 225x5, 225x5, 225x5, 135x8

Didn't eat enough this morning. Weight was moving slower than I would have liked.

TK said he's going to put something together for me. Might do a deload week next week and just use 50-75% of my numbers before starting it. We'll see.
 
8/2/15

Deads:

Deadlifts: 95x10, 95x10, 135x8, 135x8, 155x8, 155x8, 155x8, 185x5x6

Really want to focus on getting the 'feel' for deads again rather than shooting up in weight. Probably gonna stop here for awhile until I'm 100% comfortable with going higher rep and maintaining form throughout.
 
There is nothing wrong with holding the DLs at a lower weight while your body is reacquainted to them. No back injuries are allowed here!

Yeah, at this point its on the mend. I just have some mental/emotional stuff I am working on processing as well. Today is either arms or abs so it'll be more of a recovery day than anything.

Sometimes training can be therapeutic for all the "mental/emotional stuff". Keep trucking, Bob!

The Female Terminator herself graces us with her pressence. Thanks for the kind words, Rosie. I'm keeping my head in the gym which has really helped me these past few weeks.
 
The only thing I feel during a deadlift is the weight go up and then the blood rush to my head.

Funny that you call me that, Bob - I've "taken back" that name and been two weeks of such training for me. Always watching, even when silent, and always supporting - you know that. I know the feeling - sometimes it helps more than anyone knows. You've got this, my friend!

Still feels good, but not comfortable with moving up. Especially since my chiro is out of town this week so I can't get adjusted until next Monday at the earliest. Don't need a week of hell if I can avoid it.

4 sets at 225! Time to move up in weight. Awe yeah! Was starting to get late for work (trained before 8am today) so I wasn't able to keep cranking til exhaustion.

I get wet without even trying.

Thats a damn dirty lie. You take that back!! lol Theyre both once a week. I work up to 225 on squats unless I put a belt on. Its deads, deads are currently paused at 185.
 
Don't feel bad - my bench exceeds my squat as well. Damn it! Nice chest session!

Nice pull-ups! Suggestion: squeeze the weight plate with your knees to stop it from crunching your "boys"! Holy cow, I saw that plate swinging in the way wrong direction! Lol

Luckily the chain is very long so I don't run into that issue, it's actually more of an issue if I try to control it with my knees. The only time I'm a little hesitant is when I'm standing up and the chain is wrapping around the leg before I start hanging...that's some spooky times

I may give it one more week at 205 before I do 2 plates for fronts man, we'll see how I feel next Saturday.

Yeah I think the volume on all of the core lifts has been helping tremendously with increasing the numbers from week to week. This has been a solid 2 months of progress.

All of this was before 8am.
 
Time to build some safeties for your bench and go heavy. Blaine Sumner has some crazy tables for his squat and bench to catch the weight. He trains alone and squats a grand and benches 800.
