I hear you, and you’re welcome. Glad things aren’t too crazy for you. Things are ok here too, just trying to figure out my life one day at a time.

That’s impressive! I’d forgotten about taters having 'tassium.
@guineapig @Frank_C kiwis also have potassium. The fruit kind, not the New Zealand kind.

I will start a new 5 week block on Monday, basically it will be the same structure as the last block with only one change. I am dropping close grip bench press and adding back on over head press. I haven’t done much overhead work for months now so it will be interesting to see what impact this has.
For this block the weights on squat and deadlift will do up a little and the top singles have changed to doubles.
This is going to be very interesting!! Well as interesting as my consistently boring training gets. LOL

Any news on your next comp?
Hope work stresses are improving for you.
Noice. Now these guys can no longer claim you aren’t a real man.

I thought we weren’t telling him about that?
We aren’t. I specifically said you weren’t allowed to do it, sheesh.

Next comp will be at least 10 weeks after the gyms open back up. We have 5 more weeks of stage 4 restrictions here so doubt it will be for another 15-20 weeks. Looking likely it will not be this year.
Work is a little better but It’s not going to be great for a long while yet.
@dagill2 and @Cyrrex I’m still waiting for you real men to join me in squatting 3 days a week. You know it is the way to real leg gainzzz.

I’ve been following @ChickenLittle advice and eating my prunes. I now squat multiple times a day. Pretty low RPE though, almost no effort needed at all.

Isn’t that how prunes are supposed to work?

Ideally you want to get to a negative 5, which can be achieved by rest pausing your prunes.

Good little session to end the week. Nothing felt too hard and got a good chest pump. I had pain all day in my upper torso, even hurt a little to deep breath. No idea what was up but when I started training Nothing, no stiffness no pain. Bizarre !!
