Deadlift: 365-405. 3 sets
Ab rollout: 1x5x-

  • Very little coughing, but back spasmed like a motherfucker. I had to lay down for like, two or three minutes in between sets of squats. As it was, just doing this took me 70 minutes, and I cut short my deadlift because my back started hurting during the lifts.
  • The reduction in ab rollout numbers reflects that I’ve been focusing on doing quality reps, so I’ll move out an extra foot, and that extra foot makes a big difference in the tension in my belly. I think its leading to some level of back rounding, but I’m not sure how well that translates into the back pain I’m experiencing. Time will tell.

Military Press: 115-195(2+1). 6 sets

  • Joints HURT!! Will take 2x dosage Flameout tonight, maybe will continue this in future. I probably just need to get mwoar sleep (getting 6-7 currently) but don’t think that’ll be happening.
  • No back pain. This is a plus, though I don’t usually get back pain when pressing.
  • Shoulders felt made out of Glass and Glue. Not fun. Much warm-up, still hurt a lot. Barely got up 275.

Military Press: 115-185. 8 sets

  • Picked up smoking last Sunday. Just a few a day, but that somewhat explains the return of the coughing. I fucking hate it when I do that.

  • Well deserved PR. Took me long enough. Since my top working weights are roughly 90% of my 1RM, I feel confident that my Deadlift and Bench goals are within reach. I need to figure out a way to get the lifts filmed, pick a time and date to do them, and start working my squat like nobody’s fucking business.

I figured I was making pretty good progress, having added 100 lbs to my deadlift, 70 pounds to my bench, and probably about 30-40 lbs to my squat in less than a year.

And then I check your log and find that you’re repping 455 on the squat.

I hate you. Don’t take it personally :slight_smile:
