My HDL is in the normal range for the first time in my entire life (including in my 20s). I attribute it to lifting. My LDL went up…because…I have to go pretty low on simple carbs (including fiberriffic stuff). WTF. Trigs are crazy low. Glucose is normal for the first time in 3 years. I’m hesitant to let my doc throw me on some pills cuz of one reading. 
Deb has been so very, very busy at work.
I hate bench press. Mostly because I suck at it. At 285, I should be able to bench 285 consistently, and having benched 315 before, I should be able to do that again. But I don’t. I hate volume on pressing movements too- I have to go super light and i wind up just getting a wicked shoulder pump.
Maybe I should go with decline bench? Sorry, just rambling here.
Three day weekend. More time for the woman.

5-3-1 and learn to bench correctly from Dave Tate. Go to the elite site and search his videos on how to bench correctly.
I intentionally coughed on an emo kid today in the gym. He was flipping through his iPhone scrolling for a song, and he was in the way of the Scott Bench I was using. I didn’t feel bad about it, because it worked. I also look forward to the beginning of February, that is when the “New Years Resolution” crowd usually thins out. You know who I am talking about, all the porkies who said, “this year I am getting ripped, with tight bunz and hawt abz.”

Usually my bench is 2-3 warmup sets of the bar, bar +25s, bar +35s
then sets of 185, 225, 245, 265, 285 (when I can hit it) usually in triples after 225. I will be the first to admit my bench programming sucks, but part of it is because my chest is weak, part of it is my left shoulder is still a little tweaked, and part of it is I just like squatting and deadlifting more. Also, I don’t have a spotter for bench usually, but that will hopefully be changing here soon.
I am debating whether to do 531 or not because honestly I have been making great progress with squat and deadlift lately, so would it make any sense to just follow 531 for bench and keep my other lifts as is? Or go into full-fledged 531 for everything?
Plus, my chest are my worst muscles. I’m not very aesthetic period, but my chest sucks.
It is my understanding that you can apply 531 to just bench. Why not?
well what do I know…
its hella late.

Want some cheese with that whine? I cannot wait until May gets here. There are several bottles of Hefeweizen with my name and mugshot on them.
