Today
Deadlifts
-195,225,255 x 5
Kb swings
-24kg x 10 emotm for 15 rounds
This was harder than it should have been. Just evidence that I need to keep working on conditioning.
Today
Press
-75 x 5, 85 x 5, 95 x 10, 75 x 8
Sets of 30-50 jumprope supersetted w/ chins. Gonna do these Tuesday and Friday with swings on Monday and Thursday. Should be enough conditioning to get my fat ass in shape. We’ll see.
Today
Squats
-135,155,185 x 5
-205 x 1 x 2
Bunch of kb swings and snatches until I was gassed
Terrible effort on squats. Better with conditioning.
Yesterday
Bench
-155 x 3, 175 x 1 x 2
Close grips
-155 x 3, 135 x 5 x 3
Jump rope and chins for conditioning
Kind of a weak session. Planned on some pause squats but skipped out to watch the Royals home opener.
Today
Squat
-155 x 2 x 8
Btn press
-95 x 10, 8, 4
Deadlift
-315 x 1 x 4
Squats were super fast and deads were smooth. Decent lifting. Obviously not good with higher reps on pressing. I’ll continue working on that.
Today
Squats
-225 x 2 x 3
Wide grip bench
-135 x 6 x 4
Stretchers
-70 x 10 x 3
Really shitty. Thought I’d be good for 5 or 6 doubles on squats and sets of 8-10 on bench. Strict pause on bench and stretchers may have limited the poundage. Either way I feel super weak right now.
Today
Clean and strict press
-50kg x 3 x 5
Snatch grip rdl
-70kg x 10 x 3
Shrugs
-70kg x 15
Not terrible. Should have done ab work.
Today
Close grips
-155 x 3 x 5
Squats
-185 x 1 x 2, 155 x 15
Superset rope pushdowns and cable curls
Bench was ok. Squats were shit.
Today
High Pulls
-triples up to 90kg
Deadlifts
-singles up to 160kg, missed 170. My training partner got it. Asshole.
Wanted to work some BTN pressing after this but drove to the gym with a friend who had to leave. We started with 60kg for pulls and kept adding 10kg at a time through the deadlifts. Would have preferred more volume but all in all not a terrible session. Happy my deadlift is back up to 350 with no back pain. However, it makes me want to work much harder on my squat since it’s way behind.
Today
Squats
-singles up to 285
Wide grip bench
-155 x 6, 135 x 8 x 2
Stretchers
-50 x 10, 100 x 5, 75 x 10 x 2
Squat is finally coming back after literally 2 years of injury and frustration. Bench was fine since I’m actually stronger with a close grip and suck at reps. Guess the chest needs work.
Yesterday
Log clean and press
-110 x 3 x 2, 140 x 2 x 3
Axle clean and press
-60kg x 3 x 2, 70kg x 2 x 3

Superset cable curls and pushdowns
This was a fun session. My gym is awesome and has lots of strongman stuff. If you’re in the kansas city area do yourself a favor and check out stone and barbell club.
Today
Bench
-95-185 x 2 working up in ten pound increments
Squats
-185 x 12
Neutral grip pulldowns
-90-110 x 50 total reps
Not terrible today, though squats were harder than they should have been. I should be able to squat my bodyweight x 20. That will be an intermediate goal for now, along with increasing my top end strength.
Today
Power cleans up to 80kg in triples
High pulls up to 100kg a few triples and doubles
That’s it for today. Would have worked up in deadlifts and presses but my workout partner had to leave early. Again. We’re gonna go in tomorrow and try to make up
