Well, this January seems so busy I’m literally going back home at night, with no energy to write the log and having troubles sleeping quite often… That said, eating went out of a window, but at least the training didn’t, fortunately. While I skipped few cardio sessions and some mobility, I’m lifting weights regularly and trying to improve on the situation - the next week should be better, at least with logging here.

Training A
- Squats
- 2x5 20kg 1x5 40kg 1x5 60kg 1x3 80kg 1x2 90kg
- 3x10s ISO standup holds 185kg
- 5x5 105kg
- Benchpress
- 2x5 20kg 1x5 40kg 1x3 60kg 5x5 70kg
- Pendlay rows
- 1x5 40kg 1x5 50kg 5x5 65kg
- Triceps dips
- additional 10kg, 1x10 1x7 1x5
- Skullcrushers (EZ bar)
- 1x6 1x5 35kg
Compared to December I felt MUCH better considering my heart rate and the overall condition - on the other hand I ate only one meal and I had almost no sleep, so I was really tired. I’ve pushed through big lifts but triceps dips proved to be somewhat too much. For skullcrushers I should do only 32.5kg, but I didn’t have my smaller plates with me this time and I didn’t want to go again with 30kg, so I tried to take the bigger weight and see, what can be done. The reps were not “clean” albeit sufficient, I guess.

Training C
- Incline benchpress (using multipress)
- 4x10 1x8 60kg
- Low-to-high cable fly
- 3x10 11kg
- Partial range chin-ups
- 1x4 2x3 1x5 1x4
- Chin-up isometric holds at top
- 1x8s 2x10s
I need to work on the composition of C day more, as I’m not sure, if my idea is really correct. I’d like for it to a) help the hypertrophy of my upper chest, albeit doing a strength routine, as my upper chest is really underdeveloped (yeah, even for my level, 
) and b) strengthen my biceps enough to do clean chin-ups as they’re the only exercise I’m unable to do even without an additional weight.
I’m asking about C day in this thread: Accessory Day For Stronglifts 5x5
