I was selected for the position I interviewed for a week back - I’ll be spending the rest of the summer doing a fellowship with the executive of my county, which has a population of over 1,000,000. Pretty fucking awesome resume-builder, and getting a law school letter of recommendation from an elected official of that caliber should be unbeatable. And they pay me pretty well.
So that’s cool.
beautiful
W15D2: DE Lower
DE Box Squat: 10x1@225
DE Pulls: 10x1@275
Band Pull-Aparts: 10x20
Hanging Leg Raises: 10x8
Solid day. Not much to say about it.
TPWiaB W15D3: Incline Walk
50:00 @ 12% @ 3.5 MPH
Nice and easy. Should be good for the full hour next time. Should be pressing three singles at 185 tomorrow, which is gonna be a pretty cool milestone.
Glorious
TPWiaB W15D4: Press
Press: 1x3@170, 2x2@175, 3x1@185, 135x12+4+3 RP (PR)
DB Bench: 75x10/7 (Misgroove)/9/8
Rippetoe Extensions: 95x15/13/12+5+4 RP
Super happy with my pressing today. Went up without any trouble - another PR is probably coming down the line there.
nice work
TPWiaB W15D5: Chin
Chin: 70x3/3/3/3, 25x8+4+2 RP
Shrug + Hold: 275x10/10/10/10/10
Cable Curls: 115x12/12/12+5+4 RP
My goblet squat l challenge T-Nation tank top came in today, and I wasn’t about to miss reps wearing it. My fellowship starts this Monday, but the hours won’t really get in the way of anything.
W15D6: Squat
Squat: 340x6 (Miss depth)/2 (Miss 3), Several Singles @ 315
Leg Extensions: Some
Pretty bad day to finish out the cycle. Will get it after my Deload.
TPWiaB W15D7: Cardio
Air Bike: 30:00 Max Cal
Preacher Curls & Lateral Raises: Some
Back seems sort of pissed off after squats/presses over the past few days. Deload seems like it’s coming at just the right time. Might keep throwing in some pump work at the end of these days for fun.
Day 1 of government work on the books.
TPWiaB W16D1: Deload Bench
Feet-Up Bench: Work to 225x1, 5x1@185
Pull-Ups: 5x5 @ BW
Nice and quick.
Going to start taking the same approach to my bench next cycle that I’ve been doing with my press on it’s primary day. Also going to try push pressing instead of DE pressing on that day.
TPWiaB W16D2: DE Squat
Some Light-ish Squats
Chin-Ups: 1x20 (Match PR)
TPWiaB W16D3: Deload Cardio
Stair-Clinber: Alternate 5/4/3/2/1 Minutes @ 100 SPM, 2.5/2/1.5/1/0.5 Minutes @ 60 SPM

Ouch
TPWiaB W16D4: Deload Press
Press: Work to Single @ 190 (Training Max)
Push Press: Work to Single @ 215 (Match PR)
Have felt off the past couple days. Back tweak is fixing itself up pretty well, but not quite at 100% yet. Granted, a confident 190 single overhead in this condition is a good sign.
TPWiaB W16D5: Deload Chin
Chin-Up: Work to +100x1 @192.2
Got it cleanly this time. Cool number to hit.
TPWiaB W16D6: Deload Deadlift
Deadlift: Work to 460x1
Moved smoothly, but didn’t quite have a PR in me today.
Quick
