Sadly I deleted my squat vids without thinking. Should have taken them off the camera… I thought 475 was a pretty smooth squat too, oh well.
First rep at 185 turned into a tricep extension… started driving back too soon and took the shoulders out of it. Second rep went up much more smoothly. WG pulls were great. Dips were nuts. Curls were good.
I think I smushed a kitten on the way back from the gym :-\ He just darted in front of me and ran like hell just in time for my driver-side tire. I saw other little glowing eyes on the side of the road… I wonder if they were playing a game. Dodging cars is a stupid game, kitten.
GHR - worked up to BWx25+5+5 leg extension - worked up to 35+10+10 (dear god that was intense)
Calves, stretch
So 495 flew up and I got a little optimistic. 545 broke off the floor, but I lost my arch and decided to drop it. I think it is within reach. Of course I don’t weigh 181 anymore, so I’ll have to pull at least 565 to make it worthwhile. 515 was fine.
RDLs were good. I wish that GHR has a split pad might have to get a cup or something because the foot plate isn’t very wide either (i.e. legs have to be close together, leaving no room for the stuff). Leg extensions were pretty crazy. GHRs were also painful, but not as bad as the extensions. Calves were good… they seem to be inflating actually hahaha.

stretch, calves
Almost didn’t make it out of the gym. I just wanted to lie down and go to sleep. Front squats took it out of me. Seated GMs were like a nice break. I just did weighted back raises and leg extensions on the top set until the burning was insane, then let it subside and did two more sets the same way. Extremely uncomfortable. Will do again.
High-rep sets of FRSQ were not locked out at the top and were done in a controlled but brisk manner.

stretch
Pretty excellent day today. SMP reps were smooth. SWG pullups were ridiculous… felt like i stuffed pillows under my arms due to the lat pump lol. Dips were good… slightly less forward lean this time to hit the tris more. CG pullups were great. Curls/extensions were great. Feels like my arms are inflating!
Been doing the glutamine/probiotic/enzyme protocol described in the gut health thread and I think it is beginning to pay off. This might explain my weight gain as now I can absorb the food I eat!
