You recovered and adapted. That’s how peaking works: we accumulate fatigue, overreach, recover and then display our peaked strength.

Awesome work on that deadlifts!

Am still getting behind great 10 repper on the Bench Mark.
And as always when you deadlift, it’s something special. looked real easy and very strong and powerful.
Well done.

Thanks @mortdk it was a good week. The deadlift took me by surprise.

Woke at 262.1 lbs, looking significantly less bloated. That’s what an actual long sleep does.
I’ve een getting a good six to seven hours the last 14 days, with the CPAP as MVP because I’ve felt good and energetic. Last night was closer to 10 hours, which is awesome. It’s been a big two weeks at work so I’ve been getting up an hour and a bit earlier and working an hour or two longer. I’m definitely feeling it now.
But seriously, the CPAP is golden. There wasn’t a day I didn’t wake up feeling rested.

Fine. It’s gradual, and I’ve been a fatty for almost my whole life. So carrying a decent amount of muscle just makes life easier, and I could always move ok anyway.
The main things that help are that I have an active job, I do some conditioning every week and I eat reasonably healthily.

Ok, so Greg is now encouraging us to start doing our own extra workouts twice a week. Very much a la Westside, high volume low impact stuff; and things we don’t often train. He’s listed hamstrings, abs, biceps, calves and traps in particular.
Left to myself I’d go band good mornings, lying leg raises, hammer curls and pull aparts. Something like 50 each. Not hard. So yeah, cool. Great.
I have qualms, though, because if I had a training mantra it would be don’t start something you won’t keep doing.
Don’t get me wrong, it wouldn’t be hard to do a couple of days a week. I’d say Wednesday and Saturday would be perfect, because those are rest days. Or, whatever day I don’t train really.
To be continued.
