Friday evening

1 mile jog

Squats
Worked up to:
3x8x225

Squats felt good. They were @MarkKO style. Narrow stance, feet out, knees tracking angle of feet.

Now… I’m pretty toasty. Had a few drinks. I got a bottle of Toki from a friend for Christmas. The bottle is going to good use.

Cool. Remember, narrow to you is probably more of a medium stance, which tends to be the sweet spot for a lot of people.

Merry Christmas, Dukey.

Thanks to the wife and fam, I got some sweet Christmas presents. Including a cable pulley I’m gonna rig up, a stair master, and a few other gym things.

Im feeling fat and fluffy after the last few days. I’ve gone cold turkey today and going to go lower carb today and hit the gym hard. Tomorrow, I’ll ease into the diet.

Probably gonna hit the stair master for 10-15 minutes later.

I’m curious. What’s a sure deadlift?

10 Minutes on Stair Master

20 Hang Cleans
20 Pull-up
60 sec OH hold with 135lbs

Looking back at my August post, when I started training seriously again… I hit 385x3 on DL yesterday, so 405 should be there easy. Squat, is a bit off. I’ve changed my stance bringing my feet closer, so working through that. OHP has gone from 135 for 1 to 135 for 10. I’ll go for AMRAP at 155 to see how it’s improved. I’ll also try and hit hang-cleans more. I have a feeling I can hit 225 if I squat into it.
