EXERCISES!

Felt a little sick Saturday. Nearly 2 weeks and this cold is still lingering. Saw a trap vein today so that’s cool.

Also figuring out more and more just how hard I can push squats, apparently I’ve been a wimp the past few years.

Super impressive, man.

Thanks, dips are one of those movements that always came easy for me. Just checked and it looks like the last time I consistently trained them was April 2018, might have to try to set some PRs by the end of the year.

Recorded final set of dips, either I need to break out the belt or start doing rest pause sets. Apparently there’s good lighting at the dip station too…

Felt a little sick Tuesday and that final set of squats put me over the edge so I cut out the hamstring stuff at the end of the workout.

You had a few more left there. Nice work.

I always have a few more left! (At least with the high rep stuff)

275 for squats is easy but that extra 20lbs is something else; form deteriorates, I get pitched forward a bit, and they start feeling hard around rep 7 or so with 295. Don’t think I’ll go heavier until these feel more natural.

I swear I was doing these for multiple sets of 10 a year or so ago. Pretty bad DOMS for less than 20 standing reps yesterday.

Hoping that getting my core working again will fix my deadlift

So the first rep of deads feels great but I don’t come straight down to the same spot with the bar so repping it out means form is not so good. I think rest pause sets may be something to try.

On the bright side, I absolutely crushed squats. Broke out the knee sleeves but saving the belt until late Dec/early Jan

Deadlifts continue to be stupid and frustrating. Squats continue to be awesome. Maybe I just need to quit strongman and be a powerlifter
