CGBP 5x10x185 , a few face pulls just to air out the shoulders a little.
Hammer curls 2x10x30
10 min elliptical moderate.
BP rep # is same as last time…Playing with my set-up and right now its all over the map making the 1st few reps crappy but than I found a groove…Should be banging out 10 or 11 with that weight soon.

I notice the same thing. I tend to find the groove after the second or third rep. It could be from no handoff as I lift alone. ON a side note…been following the logs of us ‘old’ folks here and I noticed something interesting…we tend not to bullshit about our lifts or the weight. Must be cuz we finally figured there ain’t no point. We would just be shitting ourselves. Hmmmmmm.
ECO, Joe, - thanks but man do I suck at squats…but that just means work harder you dumb goat.
Jack- 5 bucks a rep if you throw in ski lessons!!
Complex day
4x6x85lbs…deads, RDL’s, bent over row, cleans, front squat, millies, back squat,
20 minutes elliptical intervals…15/45…
tried some very very light zerchers for the first time…ouch my arms kill( insert wussy comments here)…pour me into my truck and send me home!
One more belt question: I looked at belts on line, it appears you either go 10mm or 13mm thick…I am assuming, given the weights I am moving that a 10mm is more than adequate…Am I thinking right?
ruglayer- The guys who post here are awesome. Very supportive and helpful…they dont care if you lift 20 or 2000lbs… and they are legit lifters…most post vids so you know the numbers are true and there isn’t any false ego! Thanks for stopping by.
3,x155, 3x130, 9x145 ( same as last cycle but #10 is close at hand) but I was still pissed so I broke ranks went AWOL and put 175 on the bar for a new lifetime PR. I needed some joy.
Dips ( some moron stole the gyms dipbelt) so I did bodyweight dips: 28, 16, 12, 8, 6
Bent over rows 5x8x135
Band resisted pushups: 12, 10, 8, 8, 6
Time to swill a little protein!
Now, if I can just look busy enough I can avoid the Honey Do List and maybe catch a football game between goat naps!
Peace

I don’t use a belt but look at Mathineer’s thread. Mcl had a good comment on belts and wraps. Great workouts you’re having.
Today was supposed to be BP day, but I pushed it off until tomorrow. Wanted to give my back an extra day after tweaking it yesterday. And to top it off, got home last night and the washing machine cold water hose sprang a leak and there was a cord and half wood in my driveway…Stack, stack, stack before todays ice and rain…
So today I did some easy Ab work and cardio. Cardio was 20 minutes bike moderate pace.
Did lots of foam rolling and mobility, stretching…probably close to half an hour to try to loosen up my lower back…feels Ok, should be good to go tomorrow…now isn’t this a nice boring post.
Strick-age brings a little wisdom…or in my case a little more fear of injuring myself and having to sit on the sidelines; so I definitely agree with you.
warm-up 6 minute treadmill, mobility and foam roller 15 min
3x190, 3x215, 7x240 ( was gunning for 8 so not great but not upsetting )
neutral Grip chins (bodyweight) 7,6,5,5,5,4
alternated with
CGBP 5x10x175
10 minutes bike
weighed in this AM at a massive, jaw dropping, earth shaking…177lbs!
Good work, OG. I have decided that since we are about the same size I should be benching what you do so I’m using your numbers for a little competitive inspiration, on squats too.
