So it’s Sunday night again and that means getting ready for the week. Cooked up my usual chilli and some chicken and mashed sweet potatoes and also had some lamb left over from our Sunday roast.

So after taking that pic and posting it I had a sudden realisation that my log must be about as interesting as watching paint dry!! I am such a creature of habit that I prepare my meals exactly the same each week. I am so very patient and a little slow with my training and progression. The exercises don’t really change much other than from block to block and the rep and weight schemes are very straight forward. I don’t test Max’s too often and when I do there is deff not any 90lb PRs happening.
But the other thing I noticed too is that I’m not broken. I keep hitting the workouts every week, I am recovering well and if anything I am hungry to train more but just can’t fit it in right now.
So I’m happy, im ok with being boring and im ok to keep on plodding onwards.

Looks amazing!
It’s all about being the best “YOU” not comparing you to others. Hell, take Larry Wheels for instance. Who can match up to him? None of us. So each boring day we wake up and do us…
I enjoy you log man!

My log only gets exciting when I’m pushing my PR’s. The 9-11 weeks of build up on this SGSS program is rather dull.
Oh, look, John did 3 sets of 8 on split squats today. Neat.
I actually enjoy the logs that have these little side conversations more than the ones that are just training sets.
Up until that 405 squat I could at least go around thinking I was stronger than you 
That feeling is dead now…

Nothing wrong with that.
It was a crap rep. If that makes you feel better
It was a brutal rep. My 370 rep felt like it almost stopped so I imagine it looked like your 405 rep.
Woke at 85.8 ! Didn’t feel like I ate too well on Sunday so must be from Saturdays take out. Did go any destroy the toilet not long after so am now probably 84 lol

Thanks @MarkKO @Frank_C @losthog @bonoboschimp
I wasn’t really looking for validation but it’s good to know that the log isn’t a total bore fest. Some days I am very torn between following my own advise (be consistent and patient and work hard), and just going crazy and going for a max !!

Hey Simo didn’t chime in on the small rant there. I like your log as well-
It’s the logs where there’s a bit of everything, where you get to learn the guy behind the avatar and see how they train and how they feel that’s the interesting ones.
And yours is one of them.

W/c 13 August - micro 5 week 1
Squat and bench
Squat
Bar x 10
65 x 5
85 x 3
105 x 3
112.5 x 3 RPE 8 felt ok
112.5 x 3 RPE 8 good
112.5 x 3 RPE 9 hinged wrong on last rep and it was ugly
112.5 x 3 RPE 9 ok
112.5 x 3 RPE 9 ok little slow on last rep
Happy with squats tonight, not breaking any records but they are improving slowly.
Bench
Bar x 10
65 x 7
85 x 5
90 x 7 RPE 8 solid reps good speed
90 x 7 RPE 9 good
90 x 7 RPE 9 better speed
90 x 7 RPE 9.5 good
Bench was solid tonight, deff tighter but could still get more out of the leg drive. More work to do.
Row superset with
80 x 10 x 4 sets (10, 10, 10, 10)
CGP
77.5 x 9 x 4 sets (9, 9, 7, 8)
These were tough tonight, back was stiff from gardening at the weekend and chest and arms already tired from bench. Really good pump and really got me puffing and sweating.
All up pretty happy with how it went tonight. Only a few days to go and I will be another year older. Good to still be making progress and just happy to be lifting weights. It amazes me how something as simple as moving some heavy steel up and down is so meditative and at the same time so fun and energising.

So my back is starting to lock up on the RHS. Guessing tonight is not going to be a good sleep. Gardening is really not good for you and should come with a health warning. Told the wife I was hurting and she said I should just eat more!! Lol. Looks like she is finally embracing the road to 100 !!

They should add push mowing heavily sloped ditches to that list. That was my morning yesterday and I’m still feeling it in my back! I don’t think I’ll ever get my wife to embrace a bulk like that, though. She wants me to lose weight…
Hey I quite enjoy that lol
