@tlgains, like I said up there man, no work today, did this fasted and I felt weak as shit. Got lightheaded as hell on the 120 and the 105s after. Did not feel strong but I got in, did it, and maybe next week I’ll feel better about it.
Have a good Thanksgiving everyone. Stay safe.

Leader one down, onto the next.
I’ve never done a landmine press before. What are your thoughts on it? Do you think it helps out your press?
To be honest I don’t think I’ve done it for long enough or have strained hard enough on it to really know for sure… My shoulders get pumped by the end of the sets, but it could be a combination of that and the rows.
You have a landmine attachment right? Might be something to try out.
Do you do them standing or kneeling? I’ve seen stuff online of people doing them both ways. I do have a landmine attachment, so I might try it one day.
I used to do kneeling but now I do standing, I think kneeling is more difficult though so I may switch back.
I’d definitely at least give them a try for a few weeks
Just checked in in your log, good set. And that was on a “weak day” haha.
Ha yeah, I have a lot of “reserves” built up to pull energy from though. Thanks man.
Edit: which reminds me- t-ransformation is coming up… Going to be fun.

Had a bit of a covid scare this weekend. Had a brain poke test done Saturday which I’m still waiting on results and a quick test this morning that came back negative. Fiancee also tested negative so I think I’m good to go. No fever or anything. Took it easy all weekend, didn’t eat a whole lot due to being scared as shit so I’m down a couple lbs, but feeling good. Stress level should level out and food intake will be going up. Today felt good.

Felt good today. Weighed 210 before bed last night though. Gotta push myself and eat more for the next couple months.
Couple food pics from the past couple days…
Dinner last night- strip steak with cauliflower linguini, chicken sausage, chicken thigh, peppers, onions and mozz
Pre-pre-workout this AM, breakfast wrap made at the corner store up the street
Deadlifting in a bit, so I have to get in the zone. Taking the dog to the vet for a weird growth on her lip, then lifting.

90 second rest between 10x5. 90, 120 and 180 second between supersets because I was dying. Sweating my ass off, lungs are on fire. Deadlift moved well.
@jwlake06 hey man you’re back! Gonna make a log yet or what???
That breakfast wrap needs a “NSFW” tag. You have my transcendental envy, haha. You’re also making me miss 5/3/1. Excited to watch your progress.
Ha! I look forward to them every single morning. Usually I get the sausage but that one was so jam packed with bacon I couldn’t resist.
Thank you man, I appreciate the kind words. I’m looking forward to seeing some progress as well!
Is that 3 meats in one meal?!
lol if you count chicken sausage and chicken thighs as different meats then yep. I had the wrap for breakfast this morning so the bacon doesn’t count.
@garagerocker13 I was just looking at the anchor cycle for pervertor and was wondering how you worked the joker sets in. I’m assuming you don’t necessarily want to hit both jokers on every lift through the anchor? Not sure what Jim means when he wrote 1-2 jokers as needed?
Definitely don’t hit both on every lift, otherwise you’ll dig a recovery hole that will take forever to get out of. I did jokers if I felt good after the PR sets. Usually it was a jump of 10% of TM each time. One time I did a third because the second flew up, but for the most part just stuck to 1 or 2.
