Alright, been a hell of a week. Flu hit me full force after the last posted workout. Work kicked into overdrive with little sign of slowing down, over 100 hours last week, this week shaping up to be the same. Managed to fit in some lifts on the ship, all garbage last week, never got time to post (ie, I never left work lol).
Got to come home today. Feeling tired, fat, and weak. Perfect time for a PR week

Notes:
- very happy with my CGBP. I was supposed to work up to a RPE 10 set of 8. Program said that should he about 205 for me, and I managed it for 10. Pretty pleased with that, especially given the last week.
- pendlay rows moved good. Learning how to tighten my lats more from this movement, I see why it’s viewed as a deadlift builder
- db overhead moved great, and then my shoulders just quit lol.
- I might need to buy some new bands. The one I use for pill ups is so old that it’s tearing in a lot of spots, got some chunks missing. Definitely not as strong as it used to be, which is nice in terms of me feeling like I’m cheating less lol. Forearm still not playing nice.
- My nuobells broke. I’m pretty pissed about that. Didn’t drop them, no slams, I have babied these things. Went to adjust the weight from 65 down to 20, and one of the handles got stuck, and now just won’t move at all, can’t even take the db out of the little holder. $775 and they bust down in less than 3 months? Contacting customer service, seeing if I can get a refund or replacement. Should have done the powerblocks. Anger. Much anger. Just got a several grand bonus at work, seriously considering just buying 5-100lb dumbbells and being done with it.
- as I type that I know it’s dumb and irresponsible, buts it’s been a shit week and I’m gonna bitch about it.
