Really want to push bench up. I hit a meet PR of 413.5, but I still think I wasted way too much time in training with percentages too low/etc
I’m glad to see you back

Thanks broheim. I disappear from logging from time to time, but the training never stops.

Will probably switch bench days around. My triceps have been staying fatigued too long after the other bench workout, so I need the extra day of rest.
Damn your High Bar Squat is creeping up too. Gj man.
Also I’ll be in Lex a lot after August, so I’ll be looking to train with ya!

Squats feel really strong, and rows felt as good as they have in months. Dl is still a little touch and go, but my back is feeling substantially better every week. I’m not going to increase DL weight until I can comfortably triple 495.
Had to miss Saturday’s workout because I was at an all-day festival, so I combined it with Monday’s.

Bench feels really strong. Definitely had 4 if I wanted on 375, but I’m still being somewhat conservative. Great decision moving this bench day up to Tuesday, though. It’s nice to bench heavy without triceps that feel dead.

Leg Press
11PPSx10x3
Squat tied an all time PR without wraps, and it was a few days before the two year anniversary of my knee surgery. Will probably start jumping 5 pounds unless I feel crazy. That’s also the heaviest leg press I’ve done in about 8 years. I’ll stick with that weight and add a set now. Knee is staying pretty sore, but this is as hard as I’ve pushed it since surgery and my volume is pretty much at an all time high. I’m still chugging along without NSAIDs.

The heavy three was actually easier than last week, but for some reason I was a lot more tired for the fatigue drop set after. Still an all time PR though

That’s the fat startin to kick in. Time to make good on your log title.

I’m 5 weeks into what will likely be summer-long cut. As much fat as I’ve already lost, I’m just seeing a hint of abs when I flex. SO. FAT.
