Not 100% trashed from yesterday but definitely feel worked this morning. Triceps are completely cooked today. Which i believe is due to doing skull crushers on whim yesterday with that new bar. I will say the more angular bar design feels superior ( to me) for the job.

Decided on a few things.
- Still no plans on adjusting my TM
- putting a cap on my plus sets. Example , 3plus I will cap at 6. On 1 plus cap at 3
- Dusting off my 5 rep rule on pulls where for the time being not exceeding 5 reps on a given set.
- Still sticking with the 3/5/1 set up.
- Adding in jokers on 3 & 1 weeks based on how the plus sets feel.

SS yoke Bar: 75%x5
85% x 3
95% x 1 plus… capped at 3
JOKERS
105% X 1
115% X 1
120% X 3 … few still in the tank
3x5 @ 85%
Nice thing about yoke bar is that it has huge carryover to my conventional squat. In the past I can normally do 75lbs to 100lbs more with a buffalo and standard bar.
Pendlay lunges : 3 x 8
Reverse hypers: 4 x 10@ 50% of squats
Standing cable crunches: 5 x 10
Made myself work tonight.

Im finding im getting jazzed up psychologically more often to hit the weights. Because at this stage of rebuilding… even during a mediocre session something is always improving.

Ugh… So over used.
i like this better….
“ You can’t out diet bad training “
There are people out there who kind of overlook the other side of the equation.

I was always a fan of “you can’t outrun a fork”.
But along the lines you’re speaking of, the Barbarian Brothers nailed it. “There’s no such thing as overtraining: just undereating”
Well i guess thats one way of looking at it.
Im coming at it more like you could go out and get the most hand crafted diet plan designed specifically for a person.
Won’t mean jack shit if the indvidual is approaching the gym like a geriatric grandmother and not being consistent.
I feel like we are saying the same thing

I could when I was 25. Now I look at a can of Coke and I can feel my waist getting bigger.

In retrospect these were a major mistake on my end for several reasons.
To begin with my ankle mobility is pretty good so the need for a extremely raised heel isnt a need.
Which completely threw my mechanics of how I squat completely out of wack. In my case putting too much emphasis on my quads and taking my back side almost totally out of the equation.
Honestly should have just stuck with the Inzer pillars I have or go real old school and wear work boots. Mind you, I like a slight heel but not extreme.
Before you ask … I find for what ever reason i feel i have a more solid base compared to wearing “ Chucks”
That what I get for trying to experiment when part of me was asking. “ what are you doing stupid?”
Went through this myself: wore Pendlay Do-wins since 2014, knee was aching to the point that I was considering getting it replaced, switched BACK to Chucks, which I had squatted in since 2007 before the Do-Wins AND squatted my heaviest ever in my life: knee pain resolves.
Sometimes it’s easy to be hard and hard to be smart.
