Flab to Fab: 2025 the saga continues

11/29
BJJ training

11/30
Squats 215x5 245x3 275x10 belt on last set
Trap bar deadlift 185x10x5 sets
Ab wheel 3x10 reps
Neck harness 2x30 reps

Knee feeling a bit sore so rather than dive bombing squats just tried to control descent and stop at parallel - this felt a lot better will try to do this going forward.

Probably OK if some reps “borderline” depth in training since not training for a powerlifting meet but will be careful they don’t turn into quarter reps lol

Rethinking split - pecs and shoulders felt like they were going to explode during sparring

12/21
Trap bar dead 250x5 285x5 325x5
Squat -3x5 Deload week %

Push ups 5x10
Pull downs (neutral) 5x10
Kettlebell swings 5x15

Neck harness 2x30

BBB 5x10 seems to have caught up with me. There was another old Wendler template called Mr. Grey pubes (PAUSE) which might fit better

Upper lower split like I had been doing but when you squat you just do the Deload week % for 3 sets X 5 reps for deadlift and vice versa on deadlift week. This way you at least practice the lift every week but seems easier from a recovery standpoint.

When I tried only squatting every other week I felt like a newborn giraffe on roller skates lol
