comments- had short rest periods/lots of volume today for no reason other than i wanted to get outta the gym to do other shit. so with that being said im surprised i even got 240 for 4 if i rested more i could have got out 2 more but 4 is good. the t bar rows were done using 25 lb plates and was done really focusing on the muscle moving the weight and controlling it on the way down too. i used the 25 lb plates to allow for great ROM. it was nice i might do those more often.

comments- Just started training with 5/3/1 full body(3 days a week) again. i took about a month off of it bc i deloaded then tried smolov but stopped that bc pain in my shoulders and then took a week and a half off and have lowered my traning maxes so my weights will seem quite light but its so i can progress longer and bc i am back at a real college now, here at suny brockport in brockport, ny. the squats actually weren’t that easy bc one of my roommates asked me to go running with him before working out…never ever ever gonna do that again bc it takes away from my workout big time, esp since im a fatass right now at 190 i should be more like 170

comments- today was an early morning workout at 630 am bc i had class/work/plans for the rest of the day. this was a crappy workout bc i was tired and bc after the squats my him/lower back were kinda sore for some reason so deadlifts were not easy esp since my quads were sore from previous squatting earlier in the week. so i decided to just get the minimum of 3 reps on the set of 315. military press however felt great and easy i left like 3 reps in the tank.

comments- squats felt super light surprisingly i could have pushed out at least 2 more reps on the 225 but decided 12 was good enough since i am not deloading until i have my spring break from college. deads and bench were easy as well.
