1/25/15- today was a good day to do a light squat workout and beltless. didn’t wanna go heavy because i knew i didnt have strength today.
Back Squats (no belt)
45x8
135x5,5
185x3,3
225x3
275x3
335x2
350x8 much easier than i thought
350x8 right knee is feeling a bit triggery. not pain but it’s…there.
355x8 this one was tough, but none of the reps were really ‘hard’ in the sense that i struggled getting them up. tbh these higher rep sets just kind of suck because you gotta stand so long lol.
I think I’ve got 365x3x8 in me, and 405x10 for sure with a belt.
Zombie squats
145x10,10,10
180 stone shoulder/250 Sled Drag Medley (got the 250 stone in the tire REALLY hard to drag)
180x50’, 250x30 feet.

180x80’ ON LEFT SHOULDER much harder , 250x50 feet
Log (clean and press)
190x5
250x1
270x1
300x1, failed on second attempt cause i couldn’t clean it. trying to figure out why i’m struggling with the clean. it just doesn’t wanna roll up my chest. need to get the form down a bit better next time. i will practice lighter next session focusing on the clean.

135x hurts really fucking bad
i get an entire shoulder pump from strict press drop sets. rear delt including.
Sumo Deads (from the fucking floor)
495x2
550x1 couldve doubled or tripled this. slow, but super smooth and i didnt really strain here. wow!
585x0 didn’t have this today. really happy i had the strength to attempt this today considering i haven’t deadlifted in forever.
550x2 PR here. this weight feels a million times lighter than 6 plates. I think my strength is there for 585 I just have to start pulling more.
550x1 eye popped here. couldn’t have done another set anyway.

225x1
255x1
275x1 easiest it ever felt
290x3 Huge PR. I just want to tell anybody who follows this log that I am NOT using gear, and I never have (but am open to it). My mediocre squat and deadlift definitely don’t warrant that statement but my press does, so with this PR I feel obligated to share this with you guys.
Seated DB Military
40x8
60x8
90x8
100x10
90x8
90x4 lol pitiful
Dude that lift was totally made possible only by roids pffft , a crap ton of hard work, good nutrition and determination can’t get you an OHP of 290lb that easy(completely in jest)…lol. Seriously dude that was wicked easy congratz on the pr!
Paused One motion Stones (breaking stone off the ground a few inches, pausing a second, and extending with one motion to height)
180x3,3,3
250x1 feels really juicy on the hammys
250x3 pausing a stone is no joke. the pausing itself is easy, but doing a one motion with the isometric hold makes the hamstrings work so hard. this might be the best hamstring/glute exercise evar.
250x3
250x3
250x5 new fav exercise
Paused Stone Shoulders (pausing at the bottom and exploding stone to shoulder)
180x5
180x5
180x6 shuttin em down when i start using more explosive strength than muscular strength.

Training has been pure shit lately. Need to take a break from all the crazy stone shit. The pause stones were great but i think i was too aggressive with the 250 and my backs been bugging me. No worries though.

My gym got a 200lber so yeah
200x5 I was surprised I managed this many reps cleanly. Ofc there’s a momentous eccentric giving more leeway for me to yank it into full extension, but jesus I rowed a 200lb dumbbell get on my level nerds.
100x12
I am Matt Kroc. I’ve injured my pec, my bicep, my back, my pec, my bicep, my foot, I tore my bubble gum extensors. Jesus I’ve pretty much ruptured everything.

Back Squat
45x10
135x5,5
225x3
315x3 felt funky
365x3 this felt a lot better than 315. obviously cause of added belt
405x10 PR. Previous was 8. Wanted this weight for 10 for a while now. 50/50 on 11, glad I didn’t try it.
So I went to do tire flips and if you live in the south east you know that we’re currently under icy conditions and snow in some places. Well, I look inside the tire, inspecting it’s icyness, and I see a red, DEAD bird ensconced inside, just chillen. I have to do some inspector gadget shit and reach in with sticks and pluck him out.
Only place to flip was on grass and since it was muddy, slicked with ice, and cursed by a bird spirit, the flips went horrible. Might have pneumonia but yoloswag420blazeit900indienoscope.
