Mac, it’s my ADD.

Mini, kinda like I’m the weightlifting equipment whisperer.

It was a struggle tonight. I wheelbarrowed a bunch of loam/compost last evening. So my back was a little tender. I’m putting a lot into the garden this year. Good for my mental health.

Chins for someone your size is darn impressive.

I’ll blame my struggle with them on the lack of rocks in my yard.

1 17’’ box ssb barx10 135x5 185x5 225x5 275x5 315x10 225x3x10
2 sldl 275x3x10
3a leg curl 85x12,10
3b BW calf raise x2 sets

Funny that 275x10 sldl is fairly easy but I can’t lift a 275 lb stone for 1 rep.

Maybe the weight thing has something to do with leverages? I’ve noticed it too. What’s sldl?

Sorry Mac, stiff legged deadlift. Leverages make all the difference.

5/1
1a bowflex chest fly/press x4 sets
1b bb rows 135x4 sets
1c shld raises and db press combos x4 sets
1d band pull-aparts x4 sets

My elbows have been aching so I really dropped the weight and slowed way down. 10 sec concentric, 5 sec negative. Stones and light arms tomorrow hopefully.

Worked in the yard/garden all day. I didn’t see any frost in the 10 day forecast so I planted some warmer weather plants. :crossed_fingers:
