Not as much time to log with the new job, still getting it done without issue. Getting an extra hour of sleep every morning with the new gig. Still lifting early, still on schedule, still hitting numbers, and eating to gain.

Ouch… deadlifted on a stiffer bar this morning and I fkn felt that shit. Knurling was better, but so much less whip, it hurt, haha. The 15 second breaks had me wanting to yak, a little bit.
Weight is so so, I think. Feeling soft around the middle, but I got introduced at work as, “…another buff dude.” So I’ll take that

See, I do all my training on a stiff bar. Makes anything on a DL bar feel light as fuck in peak.

Decent day, 315 moved well, at least on video. Feelings don’t matter I forget to weigh all the time now, with the new morning routine. I’ll get used to it, and be able to log a little more regularly now that I understand my schedule, ha.

Feeling good. Finally getting enough sleep, eating a lot, adjusting to the new life. Ready for a peak in January, already, ha, want to see where I’m at with 16 weeks of strength and a proper peak.

+1 for this. Grabbing a DL bar after training on a stiff bar is like using cheat codes.
This would be what kills me. I could deal with no touch deads (sometimes I accidentally do a couple no touch deads during a set because I typically just lightly tap the floor anyways), but those short rest periods might lead me to an early grave.
I’m excited to see what kind of PRs you will smash after giving this a proper run!
