Bench day today. I still have no confidence in anything over 130, but it all went up. 140 got out of groove and probably looked weird, but fuck off…it was still 140.
Slowly turning up the heat on the inclines again. 115 was really tough, backoffs were better.

Squat day. Was not optimistic, because I slept terribly last night (and drank to much, Fridays etc.). So of course I destroyed it. 170 for 3 is a PR, and while the form nazis would not have loved them, they were good enough for me.

Overhead day. Warmed up strict, shifted to push. I believe the topset ties a PR. Not really sure about the set at 90, I think I might have done 10 there before. Still, better than last time.

Deadlifts on the program today. I have been going pretty hard for a few weeks, so kinda felt today would be a good day to go easy. I also forgot to do jumps last week, so I doubled down on that. Lots of jumps at 40 inches, they are pretty trivial these days (which was the intent).

Yes, I just have to find a special kind of comp that caters to all the things I excel in. Such as too-high squats and bouncy benching.

So despite my usual whinging, complaining and general bad attitude displayed here, I am feeling fairly good and fairly strong these days. Went in and did a birthday Bench Day, and was satisfied with the results. Almost pulled off the rare Daily Double (140 on the decline, 120 on the incline), but I failed the latter, probably because I doubled 115 immediately prior. Or because I am a sorry bitch, and will correct it next week.

Oof, tough one today. Did not really feel like I had a lot of top end strength for the squats, so I just tried to rep 160. I set a rep PR on this a couple weeks ago…so yeah, I was fairly determined to top that. And I did. But I won’t lie, 80% of my soul left my body on about rep 5, and then probably another 400% left on rep 6. I have no idea what they looked like, I was not in my body while they happened. Repping 140 after that…forget it, complete balls. Fairly happy with the achievement, but man.

Very beat up even after a day off yesterday, so I wasn’t about to do a bunch of heavy reps on the Push Press today. I did try to double 110…actually failed the first and managed the second. Eventually shifted over to the DBs, and despite being out of practice I made those 40s absolutely eat my balls. This feels overall like a very good shoulder workout, a little bit over everything.

Deadlifts on the menu today. Top-end feels hard these last couple of weeks. Repped out at 140. Then did box jumps, these have leveled up a bit over the last couple of weeks.

Three days off in a row, which I never do if I have a real choice. Decided to drop the declines today, in large part because I am wondering if it is partly to blame for me shoulder issue. And in smaller part to make sure I hit 120 on the incline. Which I did, it was not too bad. And I am killing the backoffs, so this is a good sign.

Another brutal squat session, but honestly this was good stuff. I have hit 180 a couple times in the past, but this rep actually felt decent. And then a rep PR at 140 that left me sucking wind for the next 10 or 15 minutes afterwards. I felt that shit in every part of my body, holy crapola. Objectively the best squat day I ever had.
