You probably feel great all day after 5 am training.
Not bad. My IA sergeant left, so I am filling in until we can promote someone new. I’ve been reading so much stuff, I get a little sleepy by the end of the day.
You’re tough. It’ll pass. Bet you’re impressing them at job.
I know I’m really busy.

I thought I was strong.
Your leg presses started with about my top weight. Probably have hamstrings for miles; must be nice.
No. I just have a big butt.

Today was max out day. For some reason Robbie thought it was a good idea to through some fast sets of 225 in there. We argued about it, and I lost. 425 was a struggle, but I got it (raw PR). I thought I was done, but he said we were doing one more. We argued, and I lost again. It wasn’t even close. I was out of gas at that point.
Next week is a light week. Both of my shoulders are killing me, so I could use a deload.

Congrats on the PR!
Congrats! You’re strong as hell.
Thanks ya’ll. I think the new professional lifestyle is working. Being able to sleep a normal schedule is so important.

Great reading about your 425, AFTER 15 reps w/225 and a bunch other weights’ “warmup”. If you guys weren’t alternating lifts, it reads like Robbie tried to kill you. Other good reading here too; regular sleeping, easing into early am lifting, great job, more time for life stuff. Human feces throwers are probably about your only issue now.
Check out Ben Pollack’s youtube December 1 benching tape. He also has good stuff on deadlifts and squats. Guy’s in grad school to apparently teach strength. A regular walking anatomy chart who deadlifts 800 at 198.
Thanks. I’ll check it out. I don’t really work in the facility. I’m in the administrative office. Still I try to get inside, and walk around at least once a day.

I had planned on squats and zerchers today. When I arrived at 5:05, however, the rack was taken. I then became inventive.

Good workout, after the 400 warmup.
Yeah. Their pretty easy, but I was feeling it a little in my thighs.
Kinda like hip replacement feeling? I get that sometimes.
Maybe a little. Although I am don’t really know what that feels like.
