Strong CGBench.
Been meaning to thank you for the lunch and good company last week. The “mood lighting” was phenomenal. Your wife is a keeper. Really liked her.
Carry on.

Yeah…i guess you could say on my end im paying the piper for not keeping better track of my actual nutrition .
I guy I trust pointed out to me part of the issue im seeing is due too the fact that im more or less so detrained regarding actual conditioning ,that my body has to deal with it as a new training stress.
Plus I think on some days im not allowing myself enough calories.
^^deal with it
Bunch oh mobility work for my hip.
Squat: worked up to 85% x 1
5 x 5 x 60%

Bench with new press bar: 2 x 40 x bar
135 x5
170 x 4

Well got the new bar and gave it a ride, diffidently different from a straight bar.
I will say it did feel more comfortable on my shoulders.Speaking of shoulders I now realized whats got the right one pissed off. Its all the hammer swings with the 20lbs hammer. Ive been averaging 250-300 swings a session twice a week at this point.Going to give it a rest this week and switch over to some other form of HITT conditioning.
How wide did you grip them new bar?

Dave I messed around and settled on a medium grip on it.

Rack pulls below knee: worked up to a heavy but not hard single, right lat started to cramp.
Bulgaria split squat: 5 x 10 X BW just getting the hang of these.
Leg abduction: 3 x 20 x band
Honestly felt like crap today didnt feel like doing much volume nor pulling off the floor.

Starting next week going to start keeping track of calories more closely. Been keeping a rough estimate of my intake this week and im finding that my intake isn’t as much as I thought. Of course this would explain why my energy level is in the crapper.
If I had a home gym I would think bar hard about that bar
as it is I am finding trap bar work better then conventional deads
BSS will kick anyone’s ass
