Day 52 Deadlift

170x3
190x3
215x12+3

DL 135x10x4
RO 10x4

Met a powerlifter at the gym, he gave me some pointers on my deadlifting technique, that’s where the extra 3 reps came from before I started my last set. I realized i haven’t been pulling my chest through in the bottom position as much as I could be, it’s awkward to do but makes me much more stable at the same time.

Day 55 Military Press
5/3/1/ week

65x5
75x3
80x8 (C3 75x11)

My MP form is pretty shitty

Chins 10,10,9,7
MPx10x45x4

3 chins with a jeep tire between my legs, on a swingset bar dangling from chains, that was fun.

My boxers are starting to catch and tear whenever I do any sort of lunge or squat movement, I take it as a sign that my legs are growing, either that or I used hot water last cycle.

Day 56 Deadlift

180x5
205x3
230x8 (C3 225x7)

DLx135x10x3
ROx10x3

Day 57 Bench Press

110x5
125x3
140x6 (C3 135x8)

BP 75x10x5
PCR 120x10x5

I tried doing some easy bar curls, straight bar curls, and both of them hurt like hell. I was using the bar, with no weight, I could of tossed it 20 feet in the air with one arm, but it felt more like the bones in my forearms were being wrenched with every single rep. If anyone has any suggestions, please share. I’ll just stick to dumbbells for now.

Day 58 Squat

Pretty shitty day at work, by the end of the day I had a burning hatred for people in general, watching parents belittle their children and how mentally abusive some of them are. Thinking of what kind of people these kids are going to grow up to be.

So I harnessed this energy and went to squat.

130x5
150x3
165x11 (C3 160x8) I need to get angry more often.

I’m starting to really find my groove for this lift, I’ll try to get video up next week.

Overdid it a bit yesterday, went running with the dog to try and wear him out like never before, we sprinted up a few hills and just went crazy.

Going to go shovel snow with a purpose!

Going to change up the assistance for the next few cycles to bring my arms up a little bit more.
