Pretty sure he is 10 years older than you AND me, and he still manages a 315 bench and 225 overhead from time to time. I hate him too.

Couple of days of, back to pressing today. Started strict and shifted the push press, just because. Almost dumped 110, it went up a touch faster than I expected and I started to lose balance. Not very fun when that happens. Little PR on the BNP, that shit really burns.

Some interval running on the dreadmill at the end.

Bit of a quick one today. My deadlifts stink lately, but honestly I am not working them very hard, just trying to keep them from going to complete shit. Care more about squats, I must admit, and I donā€™t have the bandwidth to work both at the moment.

Wanted to do more volume than this, but ran out of time.

Heavy bag today instead of dreadmill, which is much more better.

Shoulder day, and on the fly I decided I would try some 531 BBB EMB FSL WTF BBQ on the seated behind-the-neck presses after warming up. No idea if this is a good idea, but might give it a go for a bunch of weeks. Did not go after a rep PR, wanted to save some energy for the BBB sets to make sure I had calibrated the weights correctly.

Squats. The devil got into me and I did it BBB FSL style for fun. Kept it pretty light, but my lower back was screaming at me by the end. Set at 120 is either a rep PR or a tie, coulda probably done another one or two if it had been the last set., but I knew the BBB was already going to suck even at a lowly 90 kilo (it did).

That is some nice squatting volume mate. Bet the legs were blown up after all that.

I donā€™t have enough muscle to blow up. But I was sweating like a complete asshole, so thatā€™s something.

Tits. Warmed up on the incline, then BBB FSLā€™d the flat bench. Which just sucked, because I suck. 14 at 85 is just terrible.

Ran briefly on the dreadmill. I think I am reaching a point where I am going to try to drop 4 or 5 kilo. Will obviously have to sacrifice some strength, but I need to balance things out a bit. Getting way too thick around the middle, and I can barely even do one stupid muscle-up.

My wake-up weight this morning was about 88.5, so that is my starting point. Not going to make drastic adjustments, just eat a little less and move a little more. Will aim for about 84 kilo and then re-assess. Want to find the happy medium of aesthics, strength and abilityā€¦or at least as much those things are even possible for me any more.
