I find now in my 40’s if I miss sessions for whatever reason my sleep is all messed up too.

So I must be in the wrong gym.

DLs and GMs tonight.

Athletic tape on the ring finger during training seems to be keeping the callus from getting too thick. Hasn’t cracked in a while, though it still does peel.

I should have stayed at 365 on the deficit DL, but I just had to see what I could do today. Short session, but I did too much for a deload.

Pulls 440 on a deload :roll_eyes: Hmmm…

440 is considered becoming less weak, perhaps, but it is not strong.
There are some guys here who would agree, I think.

Benching sometime tonight, since I can’t do it tomorrow and Friday is too far away for it.

Ah! Don’t sell yourself short!

All the Chinese guys at my gym use impeccable form. Beautiful squats and overhead presses.

But they never put any weight on the bar.

None of them have changed how they look in a year.

Getting a nice case of tennis elbow on the right side. Spend too much time with hand pronated.

No comment! :flushed:

Well…I dunno how you do it, but pronated ain’t how I do it.

Think I’m going to cut down the strength sets volume to around 15-16 total reps. 24-25 total strength reps is just a little too high to maintain right now. Increases were happening earlier when I was doing 3x3 followed by a 24-25 total reps in hypertrophy sets. That seemed to be the sweet spot, but I think 3x5, 5x3 4x4 will suit just as well.

And I want a GPP day or two, because power cleans…

GPP? Sprints, jumps, throws?

Sandbags, maybe even shudder the treadmill.
