Thanks- went to Spain
Oviedo, Barcelona, Valencia, Cordoba, Granada, Seville and Madrid
Have distant relatives in a small town outside Oviedo. Up in the mountains so nice, mild climate.
Barcelona was a bit loud for my tastes but probably would have had fun there if I went when i was younger
Favorite spot other than Oviedo was probably Seville
8/21
Squats - light 135x5 175x5 205x3 (just did warm up sets I would do before heavier squat day)
Trap bar deadlift - 265x5 310x5
Overhead press- 110x5 125x5
Took it easy first day back
Thinking of a minimalist approach the next few weeks as there is a work deadline. Tried once a week earlier in the year but ended up just having 1 crappy workout a week lol.
Tuesday- light squats, Trap bar dead 5s Pro, overhead press 5/3/1
Saturday- Squat 5s pro, Bench press 5/3/1, upper back, grip
Will try to do orangetheory twice a week. Usually aim for 6am class
8/24
Squat 220x5 255x5
Bench 155x5 180x5
Pull-down 2x10 reps
Kettlebell rows (alternating sides) 2x15 reps
Basically did the first 2 sets of 5’s week this week
liked this approach better than the standard deload which feels a little too light
Will go back to 5/3/1 next week

Been buried in work and dealing with some personal stuff I’d rather not really get into here. I’m confident I will sort everything out but just haven’t been focused on lifting for the past few weeks
Decided to do a minimalist variation Jim Wendler recommends just for the next month or so to keep things moving
Today (9/19) I did
Light squats
Bench 155x5 180x5 200x5
Kettlebell rows 55x10x5 reps
