As a wrestler and football player from the south, I feel this lol. No love for wrestling, even though I felt it was by far the tougher sport. I liked football a lot more though. Was always a better wrestler than ball player, but I had a serious love hate relationship with the sport. Loved winning, hated every moment of practice lol.

In for the log, lots of promise here.

Random update/inspiration:

I sent my dad a compilation video of John Haack lifts. Then, he told me his best bench was 415 at 215lbs. I hope I have those genes

Deload week

Finding TM with Yukon bar
300x1

failed 320x1

I canā€™t tell if I have the good morning squat fault anymore vs my hips coming out of the hole first. Itā€™s a very very small hip movement and still puts me as doing a squat.

Iā€™m thinking even if itā€™s a fault I should just get over it and train.

I found bringing up quads to help with this, but if youā€™re a hinger, you hinge, and if youā€™re a squatter, you squat.

Definitely off topic Iā€™ve been working steadily with my moms new dog to make her be less leash reactive. We had a MAJOR break through when she let a small child pet her. Sheā€™s never been around a small child but she rolled on her back and was in love with it.

BTM Day 1 Week 1:

Yukon Bar Squat: 230x5x5
OHP: 120x5,95x10
Dips (had to use band for last 50): 100
Pullups: stopped counting after 100
Band pull aparts: 100

Notes:

  • Squats felt like garbage
  • Bad sleep over the weekend bc doing college kid things
  • Session today made me want to quit lifting but finished everything
  • Going to have to reject all the things that college kids use to alter mental bc it messes with my recovery/training too much
  • Quads are absolutely smoked for some reason

BTM W1D3:

57 minutes

5x5 FB Bench- 165
3x5 Deadlift (strapless and belt less)- 295
5x10 KB rows- 70lbs
100 curls with straight bar (rest pause style)
20 GHR
100 band push down

Notes:

  • Great session to close out a good day (got a 92 on my math exam)

  • Thinking about adding direct quad work but between squatting 2x a week and using a prowler 2x a week, I probably shouldnā€™t

  • Football bar bench feels great but the angle of the handle makes it feel like itā€™s slipping out of my hands

  • Really want to add in more conditioning sessions Just trying to find the time

  • Considering doing some sort of conditioning work in the morning (donā€™t have time for a full lifting session) but iā€™m afraid it will affect my performance later in the day for my main session. Any advice will be greatly appreciated

BTM W1D4

Prowler- ā€œThe Hell That is New Jerseyā€
Wendler Protocol of 90lbs 6 rounds total of high handle, rest 1 min, low handle

Notes

  • Quicker session but I felt like I was flying on these rounds
  • Speed feels amazing on all prowler work compared to 6 months ago
  • Great conditioning session to close out a good day (absolutely smashed my psyc exam)

BTM W1D5

Squat: 235x5, 115x28 (racked to reposition hands) 12 more
Press: 10x5x95
Band pull apart
Chins: 5x5@40lbs
Shrugs: 100@25lb dumbbells (didnā€™t put them down)
RH: 170x20

Notes

  • Didnā€™t feel too hot so I didnā€™t push the pace super hard (labrum was feeling sketchy and just tired overall)
  • I wanted 40 reps on the AMRAP squat. Pissed I had to rerack but less than 10 seconds probably wonā€™t make a big difference
  • I know that strength will come eventually but I want to get stronger so bad. Consistency and effort is the thing I got going for me.

14ā€ slater stone over bar for 30 reps (6:30 time)

Notes

  • Felt weird today so it was something

OHP: 115x5, 85x15
100 pull ups
100 dips (60 bodyweight/40 in bands)

  • More emphasis on knees out and sitting back is making the yukon bar squat feel way better
  • I feel like the dips are the hardest part of this day
