Test week
Saturday

Squat 10x45, 10x75, 5x95, 5x105, 3x115, 3x125, 3x130lb

I was aiming for 3 reps at 120 but 115 was solid. I got 3 good reps at 125 and did 3 clean at 130 but a 4th one was for sure not going to happen.

Super happy, still not impressive but considering that I ditch the box go to parallel or a bit lower.

SA pull down 12x50, 2x12x100lb

Incline curl 4x12x15lb db
Calf raise 3x12x250lb

Wednesday

Deadlift 10x115, 5x155, 3x175, 3x195, 2x200, 1x205, 1x210lb

Leg extension 12x50, 3x12x60lb

210 went up good. I could have tried for a 2nd ugly rep but decided that a 5% increase was ok for me today as a new max.

I will do OHP probably tomorrow afternoon.

OHP 10x45, 8x50, 3x55, 3x60, 3x65, 3x70, 1x75lb

Push press 2x75, 2x80lb

Test week results. No stupid ugly reps. Maybe slow but no grinding. So I will call those working max.

Squat 120 to 140lb
Bench 100 to 115lb
Dead 200 to 210lb
OHP 70 to 75lb

For the bench, I had a bad shoulder resulting from a Covid vaccin so it was a bit low to be safe.

Still honest results for a pretty beat up body.

Lat raise 2x20x7.5, 2x15x7.5lb db
Hanging leg raise 3x10

First day of my period, so not the best day to start a new program but here we go.

My body also does not do well with full deload. So I was a bit stiff and the squat felt heavy but that was to be expected.

I did chose this program over 5/3/1 because it is not a one lift per day. My knee is better if I squat twice per week, aka less stiff. And also I tend to do better with a bit more frequency, as seen by the last results.
This program is a bit more geared toward powerlifting. It sound fun. I will do one small adjustement as OHP is not much part of this so I will add it during the week.

I had a shitty day.
No sleep,
Great ride with my horse but the someone planted their horse in front of my box so I had to ask to be let out but no one cared so I jusy dumpec the horse else where. The some ass hole could not park his fancy rich man car so I had to radio in the hunt party so I could get in my car to leave. I could not even shimmy between both cars.
At that point I felt like keying the car, taking picture and public shaming or deflating their tires or leaving a nice horse shit on the hood.
But I am grown up and just rage.

Wednesday
Rest day

Morning ride with my super horse. We had a lot of rain so the ring was not great but I refuse to ride inside. We did some simple stuff like spiral circle transition and change of band.

Did some winter food prep aka shelf stable oinion soup.

And future chicken are growing nicely and should be ready for early spring.

Last few days were long as it was inventory. I have no clue how many steps I did but a lot more then normal work day.
I also find it strange how much I eat compare to my coworkers.
Every one know that I am hungry and cold most of the time. I also see to eat more then everyone. Most ladies did not finished the supplied meal. I was about to eat the box.

That started a strange conversation, as I am one of the slimest one. So someone mention that I am a gym freak. So, I got ask how much treadmill I do. Because his wife does 3 days of 45min and she is not so slim and live off salade.

My face spoke volume in question marks. I just said that I lazy for cardio of any sort but walking around the store.
I just enjoyed that WTF look on his face.
