Tomorrow, I begin my more balanced 4-day-a-week barbell routine where I’ll actually be doing all three core lifts.

OK! Day one of my new 4-day-a-week program that will include all three core lifts, seeking to hit the wonderful “regular guy who lifts” total of 405 squat, 315 bench, and 500 deadlift at or below 220 body weight. For the time being most (2-3 per week) barbell workouts will also include an assortment of very light-moderate dumbbell stuff, like you see here, just to kinda recondition my upper body on top of “start benching again” and with weather getting nicer I’ll be tossing in some pull-ups here and there as well.

So on my non-key-lifting days, I now plan to do some hodgepodge of “conditioning” work, which is basically just anything remotely “athletic” that gets me in motion. But, since I just can’t help it, I will probably still do some “daily dose deadlift” workouts (when I have the time for them) that’ll just work up to a pair of singles at 405. Always in the groove, ya know?

One of the kids was up on and off during the night, so I didn’t get much sleep and felt pretty worn down. Kept it easy today, just finished with a pair of singles at 405 instead of pushing for triples or going any heavier.

Happens to us all of the time!

I am super bad at keeping up with people here, but over the years you are one of the regulars that I have seen on here. Good to see you’re still lifting and active. Good luck with the core lift goals!

We’ve been lucky - both of our kids have generally been really good sleepers (relative to their ages) all along - but the 21-month-old is getting to a point where he’ll yell for Daddy in the middle of the night when he’s sick. We will go along with it for a few days while he is legitimately getting over this cold, but eventually we’ll have to just tough it out and let him scream until he settles; he had a sleep regression a few months ago and it didn’t stop til we went one or two days of just letting him wail away for an hour or two…and then suddenly, bam, slept through the night again like it had never happened.
