Back to It

I just don’t find sports bras and yoga pants on hot women a great environment to lift in. All that sex running around is distracting when you have 500 lbs on the rack or lifting it up. Tits are great but not while I’m lifting and no club is worth $160 a month for membership.

You’d have no trouble training with me then!

Sorry, just couldn’t resist.

sorry, tits are always, I mean always great

last couple

Saturday

pressing

feeling achey last few days, so just grabbing some low bar PRs

rotator stuff

football bar incline bar x 20 x 2, 95/135/185/205 x 8. cheap 20 lb pr on these

football bar floor press 1 set w/bar. see above notes about reverse vertigo. pretty sure this is sinus/allergy influenced. shut down and replaced with:

hammer strength bench 90 x 10, 180 x 8, 180 + mini band x 8, 180 + 2 minis x 8, 230 + 2 minis 2 6, x 5, 3 x 8 with 180 and 2 minis, 1 x 15 w 180, no bands, chest swollen

cross overs 3 x 15

lateral 5 x 15-20
neutral machine press 5 x 8-10

going to continue with hypertrophy and rehab for pressing over next few months, with looking to get a new mri done and possibly going under knife in the fall. gotta be realistic here finally. my guess I will get back into pressing in the 400s raw and really blow something lol

today

too much time sitting, not enough food, etc. but still felt ok to squat

yoke ssb to low box, close stance bar x 10, 170 x 8, 260/350/440/470 x 3. 30lbs over what I have had on my back, so cheap PR. hips and groin felt achy, so shut it down even though it felt easy, will push for reps next week

2

Friday

my lower half was still shot from bb work on Monday, so it was a struggle

dl 135 x 10, x 10, 225 x 6, 315 x 3, 405 x 3, 455 + 50, 100, 150, 200 in chains x 2

bent row 4 x 8 w 275

v grip pulldown 5 x 8 -10

ghr 3 x 10

only about half of what I planned, but that is to be expected with real weights taking predominance over machines. volume will creep back up

saturday

3 mile walk around lake

today

lethargic, finally made it into gym, things went pretty well

bench w foorball bar, wide grip, on forza bench equipped with donny thompson fat pad, bar x 20, 95 x 10, 135 x 10, 185 x 10, 185 + 50,100,150 x 6

hammer strength bench 1 pl, 2pl x 10, 2pl + 1, 2 mini x 8, 2pl + 25 and minis x 6 x 2

done enough for getting back into some real pressing, shoulder felt great throughout all

That must be hell dealing with the water retention.

water retention hell all weekend, doesn’t want to drop down that fast this time around, which actually might be good long term per rn

dragged my bloated carcass into los campeones after dropping off kids for some squats. because I literally don’t feel like I am in my own body wasn’t sure how it would go

ssb giant yoke to low box 80 x 8, 170 x 5, 260 x 5, 310 x 5, 310 + 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 in chains x 3. chains were set up so fully off the floor at the top. felt heavy but moved really fast, probably the most raw I have done in a couple of years actually.

leg press 5 x 15
cable abs 5 x 12

sissy squats 4 x 8
calves 4 x 15

enough, still lots in the tank which is good, just gotta get/stay healthy
