Yeah for sure, I don’t even like moving around in people’s periphery. Doing squats had a nice little riddim with the guy in the other rack next to me as far as sets & loading/unloading. Guys literally stopped right in front of my rack to talk about something while I’m heavy breathing lol.

Lighter dumbbell helped me focus more on squat pattern & less on core holding me in position.
Close grip cable rows x 3x10 with hard holds at the end & done pulling towards my mons pubis low & with that lat focus.
Lateral raises working my menial deltor muscles 3x10 with another half dozen drop reps at the end.
Pec deck done ramped to 2 “heavy” sets of six (vs the 10-15 rep sets I usually do on that machine).
Well watered & underfed 199lb. I average 8+hours of sleep the last month or so & I love it. Headaches suck but not the most intense cluster I’ve ever had. Hopefully it’s wrapping up, I’ve been successful fighting headaches with vaporub coffee water & herb last few days. No Excedrin needed. Waiting on a nice looking London broil.
Push pressin’
145 x5,5,4 felt weak doing these but I’m sure the laterals & one arm KB pressing and oh yeah, the overhead pressing impact these. Also the 3x5 cleans beat me up pretty good.
Jack shit today for accessories. Auto regulation in action. Really looking forward to the upcoming deload. 198lb.
Warm kind of. Noticed my shoulders are a bit creaky & had that front delt doms all day yesterday. Dislocates, hangs, scap moves & awkward pullup handle holds.
Ohp

115 x6 strong reps, 6th wasn’t blast off but it moved well. Probably but not definitely had a 7th today.
I like deload like I like lifting. Kind of but mostly not, but I really want the results. Been going pretty hard for the last 6 training weeks (~7-8weeks real-time) & I’m not trying to dig a recovery hole.
I’ll still end up doing too much this week most likely

Thanks bud. The first rep with 190 was a clean PR but I’m not really worried about 1rep pr’s till I’m not weak anymore. I’m still shy of pressing 1 plate, benching/cleaning 2 plates, squatting 3 & deadlifting 4. Closest I’ve come was deadlifting 395 & tweaking my back & maybe deadlifting once since then.
Pullups short rest done like a bodybuilder with a decent upper back & a need to grow his lats & biceps

Saw a ~6’-6’2" white kid go between his legs on a breakaway dunk in a highschool game on ESPN at the gym today. Also I weighed right on 200lb before the workout. Pot roast AKA squatroast will be ready in ~2-3 hours.

Respect the 3s week on 3/5/1 after last session. Just about full body doms coming off of my deload week. 202lb, making a Supremus Maximus pizza for dinner #1 & potroast + rice for dinner #2. Maybe chicken & rice if I need a dinner #3.
Push press
145 x 6,6,5 probably one in the tank all 3sets. Felt good
Dips/pullups x3 rounds
Curls for the girls. Specifically a hot redhead that I’m pretty sure I grew up with. She’s aged well & if there are 6mo worth of noob gains in her, she will be smokin if she keeps at it. Anyway, 199.5lb & waiting on chicken thighs.
Ain’t nothing unnecessary about it my friend. Call it a form check

Arms & abs megaset x 3 rounds
203lb after the workout with some water but not much food in me.
Edit - Putting these in here because I’m slightly dysmorphic. I look at myself & feel fat but look at pics & think I’m in a good place. Plan is to gain till ~April 1, & reassess. If I’m 10lb out from an unflexed 6pack, I’ll diet as of may 1. If I’m 15lb out, I’ll diet starting April 1.
