I was dragging ass this morning. The family kept me up until 1:30 AM. I hit the gym at 8:00 AM. This week was 5/5/5, and I am not satisfied with it, so it needs a repeat.

I had a week off due two days of out of town meetings followed by a bunch of snow, which means my workouts were using the snow blower. Today was 3/3/3 bench.

You exceeded expectations on the last set.

Just a little. I actually did a 5th rep, but I needed too much help to count it.

Continuing the deadlift work in the rack. Might try that method.

I was just looking for something to do. I thought by adding heavy, low rep, rack pulls, it might be a nice added feature to my higher rep work.

Looking for something to do. Ever the Animal.

The driveway had a lot of ice on it tonight, which added a little danger. I cut things short, since the wife wanted to go out for dinner.

Honestly, a 200 sandbag for you is getting to be commonplace.

Not a bad day. I probably had four reps at 310, but my wrist wrap came undone and came up wrong on #3.

I’ve come to learn that how hard it feels is irrelevant, all that matters is whether you do it.

I took yesterday off, due to still feeling like crap. Still dealing with sinus issues. Today is much better.

I looked to my right today and saw some guy pulling his basketball shorts up above his nipples. I could not stop watching. My buddy Nas also noticed and we had a good laugh later. He then goes to the squat rack and puts 345 on with no warm up. He “squats” about four inches per rep and grunts really loud. This guy made my day!
