Still beating last week’s numbers. Got to add 15 lbs to bench since I got 6 reps over base on last week’s AMRAP. Really surprised I got 12 on all 5 sets of overhead. 90 was a struggle last time. Perhaps when it’s time for log something similar will happen.

I think tonight is the worst its going to get.
Oh, and I think I got pickpocketed waiting to cross the street to get to my car. Had my wallet in my gym bag when I left for the gym. Didn’t have it when I came back.
Big city living.
Oh no! That’s terrible.
Solid workout. Hate to hear that about the wallet.
As it turns out, it flopped out of my gym bag while I was digging through it.
Someone turned it in at the gym’s front desk and the gym manager called me.
Crisis averted.
Nice to know there are still good people in the world. Glad it worked out,
Yay!!! Happy they returned it. Like @simo74 said… there are still good people out there.

Bull Mastiff Week 3 Day 4
Overhead Press Day
Strict Log Press
132 4x6
Can press up okay. Trouble getting my head through. I need more practice with this item.
Spoto Press
135 4x12, 11
Right shoulder just quit on set 4 rep 12. Couldn’t lock it out.
EZ Bar Skull Crusher
75 2x15, 12, 11
More reps overall, but I don’t like tailing off so hard.
Seated Incline DB Hammer Curl
37.5’sx15, 3x13
DB Rear Laterals
27.5’s 4x12
Not happy with the log press, but I’ll blame it on 3-1/2 hours of sleep. Which means it’s still my fault.
That’s great news! Good people do still exist. 
The program is taking down the volume from this last week by 40% and reducing reps per set on the assistance.
Thank God. I may survive this after all.
Still sore. No training tonight. Definitely tomorrow.
I lied. I’m a liar.
Tomorrow, I guess.
Rest is good

Well, that was a little less stressful, but it didn’t feel like a deload as was claimed in the program.
Nice work. Looked like a lot of work for a deload. Of course, I am sure he is smarter than me. LoL
time to find an axle for squats ?
There’s an idea. I certainly haven’t done that for a long while.
I just did a couple of blocks with the axle and it felt great on the back and even on the shoulders as the hands seem to be in a better position. Switched back to the bar for the this week and it felt great. Really stable and almost easier. Would deff recommend.
