Squat deload
This whole deload thing doesn’t work for me. It puts me out of the groove. Not sure if there is a programming fix but I’m going to ponder this.
Squat rack was busy so did RDLs first. Just used the weight a friend was DLing. Curiously, he told me about this new super secret program he started called 5/3/1.
RDLs
210 x 5 x 10 reps
haven’t done these in months. Wasn’t hard.
Squats
135 x 5
185 x 5
225 x 5 - I swear these felt as heavy as 315 last week
GHRs on 45degree hyper
BW + 25lbs x 3 x 8 reps
Incline Hammer Strength - just a few easy sets
1 pps x 5
2 pps x 5
2+25 ps x 5
Weekend off. Thanksgiving in the Great White North so I’ll be loading up on turkey.
I think most men feel that way, finding a variety of female body types attractive. I find that its WOMEN who are harder on themselves and other women (the company here and in PW excepted, of course).
I also think men react to the amount of confidence a women carries herself with, no matter what particular type of body she’s got goin’ on.[/quote]
I’ll second this entire line of reasoning with the single exception of the ‘over-confident/compensating to the point of being obnoxious’ woman. And for the record, men fall under this same entire line of reasoning with the same exception.

this is my new measure of intensity, drive or actual desire to punch someone in the face (not that I would; I’m Canadian)

Really like this rating system.
Isn’t it funny how relative weights can feel?[/quote]
You’re right. If I’m not focusing on a goal for the day (more reps, more weights) then I find my system just ramps down and even relatively light weights feel heavy. From a programming standpoint, I’m sure a deload week is a good idea but it is a bad fit for my personality.

Agreed. Confident is attractive. Obnoxious or self-important is tiresome.
I’m amazed you waded through this log at all. It’s kinda all over the place. Thanks

Are you kidding??? People our age have loads of wisdom and insight. I love us old folks. At the very least, we can think more than 5 mins ahead. I’m not hatin on youth, I was there once. I’m just sayin. Sorry, caffeine ramblings this morning.

Since I have never really done OHP before, I’ll stick with BBB as accessory for now. Getting better at flexing my lats at the bottom, bracing and getting my head through at the top.
Some right shoulder discomfort but pretty good.
dave tate has a great 7 part series on bench press technique thatg helpped me take a 240 gym bench to a 250 comp lift in like 3 weeks time… he also says that it will help prevent shoulder injury… you should watch it I know it will help you
