Yeah man! There’s some upside to being home, so we may as well be happy with it!

How are you and yours?

They are good, driving me a little crazy at times but still good to spend time with them.
Today they have decided to make a fort or cubby house !! The three of them are actually playing together which is a big bonus !

How did you do anything after the drop set? They make me want to puke.

I had to have a real conversation with myself. Quality degrades after those significantly

Pull day

Stuck with the warm-up!

  1. Meadows Row
    Bar/8
    25/8
    50/8
    70/8
    70/8 + 6 + 4 + 2

    65/8 (1.5 reps)

I’m guessing you’re running out of stuff to mix it with :crazy_face:
Might as well chug it straight

My wife is a teacher and her co-worker suggested adding vodka to a Truly.

Did my warm-up again, but omitted the overhead squats. I improved quickly, but now they’re starting to make my shoulders ache so I took a day off.

  1. Incline Press
    In between the first 3 sets I did a 8 chest presses with a hard flex with mini band wrapped around my back
    45/10
    95/8
    135/6
    185/6
    215/6
    215/6

  2. Bench Press
    Did the technique where you pause for 2 seconds a couple inches above your chest, then lower all the way down and finish the rep.
    135/5
    185/5
    205/5
    205/5
    225/5
    Did I buy fake weights from Dick’s, or do I just have a fatvantage right now? It’s a mystery.

  3. Banded Push-ups
    Did one long set on push-up bars here. Went to failure with the average band, then the monster mini, then the mini, then the micro, then body weight only.

  4. Dips
    BW/20
    BW/15

  5. Seated Shoulder Press (no back support)
    45/8
    115/8 x 3
    Superset with:

  6. Over and Backs
    Micro band x 10 reps x 3 sets

  7. Rear Delt Pull
    Micro band x 25 x 3 sets
    Superset with:

  8. Band Pushdown
    Mini + Monster Mini Band/ 15 x 2
    Third set was a drop set where I did both bands together, then just the monster mini, then just the mini

  9. Close-grip Push-up
    One long drop-set where I did them in regular position, then from knees, then hands on a couch, then hands on couch from knees.

So @Frank_C, to make myself even less clear, this would be a high-volume session but low volume per body part.

Tried lifting this morning and just could not get rolling. Maybe I’m an afternoon guy now? It’s definitely easier to warm up and get started in the afternoon, and I get more overall sleep, but I don’t know how I’d pull it off when we go back to normal work. I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Did some legs after my false start this morning. I might be switching to afternoons as long as work can support it - way easier to warm up.

  1. TRX Leg Curls
    4 sets of 6ish
    These are hard

  2. Front Squat
    45/8
    135/6
    205/6
    255/6
    255/6

  3. TRX Single-Leg Squat
    3 sets of 6

  4. Wall Sit
    1 minute x 2 sets
    Alternating sets with:

  5. RFESS
    45/7 x 2
    30 seconds between everything - harder than I thought it would be

  6. RDL
    205/8 x 2

  7. Calf Raises
    Couple sets
