I worked out yesterday and I’ll be posting again today.
Deadlift - 315 x 5, 285 x 5
Press - 125 x 5, 115 x 5
Easy deadlifts, but my shoulders are feeling it. Press is easy too, I’m just fatigued.

I lost weight. I’m 155 pounds again, fasted after my workout. But I do look a lot better.
Deadlift - 320 x 5, 290 x 5
Press - 130 x 5, 120 x 5
I have one more workout tomorrow. I can knock it out of the park. Today’s deadlifts were taxing because I was pulling on a broken mat and I forgot to breathe/brace throughout the set, so I won’t be posting them to Instagram. Literally no point.
Pressing felt solid. My left shoulder needs a break and extra band pull-aparts for a week, though.
Yesterday’s workout.

I was sucking wind by the end of my press sets. I need a break! This cycle was productive and the program continues to work 3 months in. I may even do a write-up.

This was my cycle for the month.
Well, I’m three days into not smoking weed anymore. It’s been a struggle. But, I’m not going back to it.
Back to Day 1 of cycle #4. It’s too goddamned hot to lift outside, in the Sun.

If you’re not sweating within the first 10min of doing anything in the gym, it’s not too hot outside to lift. Sincerely, your local Texan.
Hey, I still lifted! But medication that I take makes it hard for me to regulate my body temp, so I have to avoid becoming overheated. My heart rate got up to 240 BPM yesterday after an easy deadlift set and that’s when I called it, haha.
Easy lifting today. I skip 185 when I warm up now. I just do 135 x 3 - 225 x 3 - working weight. Also a week clean from everything. Never felt worse.

I may start wearing a belt for press after this week. Not sure. A heavy press may not be worth fucking my back up for. I haven’t yet done that but with my luck I might.

Also started an antibiotic that is supposed to help my stomach heal. Let’s hope this one works.
