I recently started a new job so skipped the gym earlier this week to adjust my schedule. My workouts will flex as I figure out how things fit together best.

A quick sesh before work. I’m still figuring out my schedule and routine. I have eight more weeks of the Simple Deadlift Plan. For everything else, I’m leaning towards either another run of Washed-Up Meathead with Simple Deadlifts as the main leg exercise progression, or a form of OLAD or TWOLAD. I’m also increasing cardio and plan to keep it up.

As a legal assistant. Once I’m proficient with the associated tasks, they’re going to move me into a paralegal position while I study for the bar. That’s a year-ish away, but I’m glad to be back in the legal field.

Thanks! I’d forgotten how simply deadlifting can be a sufficient workout. In fact, I felt refreshed instead of drained.

Thanks, CL! It feels like I’m moving forward in life again. It inevitably means much less workout time right now as I figure out the job and my sleep schedule, but it’s a trade-off I’m willing to make.

    Less than half what I normally do, but I was nearly puking. Maybe the full body session was more challenging than expected.

For next week, if I do two full-body lifting sessions and two cardio sessions, I’ll consider it a good workout week.

Still getting in some solid pressing and deadlifts coming along nicely too. Nice work sir.

Thanks, Simo. Deadlifting has been the lynchpin of my training week. I’d like to add an upper body lift with a percentage-based progression, maybe running the Simple Deadlift Plan structure on push presses, to round out my lifting.

Great job with the 180kg deadlifting sets last week! You’re repping more than my last tested max.
