It’s interesting. I’m enjoying the high reps currently. I’ll find a top to this and then work some 8s, 5s, etc. I may just work in the 10s to 5s for awhile. No real plan currently just focusing on the squat and hitting a top set on the other main movements doing accessories and lots of core work and posterior chain stuff. Just really going by feel.
I’m enjoying the feeling of being leaner and moving better without breathing hard.
So delicious

Started to do GHR and rev hypers. Got to talking to some people that haven’t been in the gym for a long time (surgery). And got cold. Just packed it in and shut it down
Had a nice set of squats tonight. I could have ground the hell out of 285 and got 10. I decided to be conservative and focus on form and quality reps. I may be leaving some on the table but it is working and I’m making progress again.
Solid little session and it is getting Hot AF
Pm weight: 261.
More is more. Don’t listen to the intelligent. Bury yourself in volume. Be UnKillable.
If it’s moving with speed, your body loves it. Go slow over the long term, be deliberate with every rep, and kill it.
Nice, sounds like your back is doing quite well if 285 is comfortable.
How about that cut?
I saw 259.0 on the scale this morning.
It’s taken me around 2 weeks to work back down to this weight after mother’s day weekend.
Honestly getting back here has not been bad. Just strict discipline.
The back is better and better every day/week but there is still some lingering tightness that was never present before the strain.
One thing that feels super good is feet together (think groin stretch) glute bridge.
Rich Piana, is that you?!
So do you plan to start chasing strength again or commit to the cut? Cant effectively do both, safely.
I’m going to stay with what I’m doing right now. Continuing to cut, working with the higher rep ranges and taking what is available for the day during workouts. I’m not really pushing weight on the bar and haven’t been since the injury.
Like yesterday. I hit a set of squats, did some bodyweight stuff. Was going to push on some accessories but wasn’t feeling it honestly and everything worked out fine. I’m a little sore in the legs today, not crushed and will recover before my next workout.
This last injury has really put me in a place to learn about nutrition and effort lifting.
You’re a beast Hog 7 and 5 reps of 285 Quality.
And dialing in the nutrition, wonder where you’ll end.

Had a good upper session. Headed to the in-laws for the weekend tomorrow. Hoping the gym there is open for a Saturday deadlift session.
Strong workout hog. Good on you for not blasting the legs again. Knee injuries are not welcome here!
Memorial Day weekend: pre-warning
Full deload.
Enjoying some relax and refresh.
We are here until Monday.
I stopped and got a bottle of barcardi clear, kracken spiced, and some yuenglings.
Currently I’m on the back porch listening to some 80s-90s rock and enjoying some ice cold refreshments. Diet will not be on point but I don’t care. School is out. I go back to work on July 31. 
Now that sounds like a great way to kick back. Enjoy
I hope you shared it !!!
