Probably that and front squats, yep. Thanks boss.

Bit of work today…

Bench Press:
135x5x20

BB Rows:
155x4x12

Turns out bench is actually more sensitive a position for my wrist than overhead pressing. Guess grabbing some wrist wraps would probably help things get moving along…

More Skwats.

Squats:
385x5x3

Neutral Grip Chinups:
bwx4x10

Nice to see squats slowly going up again, nice and steady.

Thursday’s work:

Close Grip Bench:
185x3x15
225x8
225x7

BB Rows (pause at bottom):
185x5x8

Andddd today:
Press:
185x4/3/3/3/3

Neutral Grip Chinups:
bwx5x11

Paused High-Bar Squats:
225x3x5

Expected my OHPing to be weaker, happy it’s not horrible. Gonna work to quickly get it back to the low 200’s again and higher!

Today:

Squats:
385x4x4

Neutral Grip Chinups:
bwx4x12

Need to do more hamstring stuff so I don’t hurt myself. Gonna do OHP and RDLs tomorrow or the next day, depending on my schedule.

Sneaked in a session yesterday before my brother’s birthday party. Lifted in jeans for the first time in my life!

Barbell Press:
185x4/4/4/3/3

RDLs:
135x4x15

Done. I like this 2 exercises and done thing. Time will tell if it actually is effective.

Close Grip Bench:
185x3x15
225x8/7

BB Rows (Pause at bottom):
185x3x10

Cut down on rest time a little.

Back Squats:
395x5x3

Chinups:
bwx5x12

Brought stance in a little on squats, and it felt really good.

Barbell Press:
185x5x4

BB Rows(pause at stretch):
185x4x10

Out. Pressing getting slowly better each time…

Little bit of squatting. Lower back was really sore from work, so I cut that short.

Squats:
405x1
405x2

Chinups:
bwx3x15

Close Grip Bench:
275x4
285x2/3/2/2

Chinups:

RDLs:
185x3x12

Finally made it in today:

Squats:
365x5x5

Chinups:
bwx3x16

Knees felt dodgy because I’ve been doing a lot of crawling around at work, but not terrible.

OH Press:

225x5x5

Done son. Feeling good today.

Squats:
405x4x3

Chinups:
bwx23/12/10

Good day. Closer and closer to being strong again.

Seems like your overhead strength hasn’t hardly missed a beat though. Great pressing.

Yeah, it dropped the least of any big lifts, which is funny since traditionally it’s been my weakest link. Speaking of…

Yesterday’s session:
OH Press:
200x4x2
205x2

Shrugs (no straps):
315x3x5

Out. Today’s pressing was actually faster than last session.

Tired and sore, just did a little work:

Squats:
405x3
(3 count pause at bottom)
315x2x4

Chinups:
bwx24
bwx16

Close Grip Bench Press:
295x5x2

Romanian Deadlifts:
225x3x10

Benching strength slowly increasing still…leg strength is taking longer to get back, it looks like.

Yesterday was gonna be an off day…but it wasn’t.

Rack pulls from mid shin (plates about 3" off the ground):
405x3
405x3
415x3
425x3

Weak as a kitten, but they felt good, focused on staying tight and not letting back round at all.

Deadhang Chinups:
bwx4x10
