I never “eat well” in the terms you would ordinarily put it. I am getting old, I just want to enjoy my life and eat whatever the hell I want. And I pretty much do. Drink more than I should as well.
And the result of all that carelessness…more PRs! This was full-on Push Press, to be clear. Last time I tried to rep 110, I was unable to even get two. Doing 3 today was surprisingly easy, could have maybe done a 4th, but my intention was to save some energy for the Dumbbells anyway. Which I also PR’d.

Some quick pulling. I am coming to hate these days (all the more because of my higher BW), and there was no machines available for the lat rows either. Maybe I will start combining it with other days.

Relatable. I too enjoy my drinks as @simo74 already hinted at, haha.
Although if I don’t attend social events that involve drinking, I actually don’t drink more/ a bit less. That said all events you attend in Germany involve drinking.
Training is important to me, and that is one of the ways I am able to moderate…if I drink too much, I won’t perform well enough for my own standards. One day it will probably catch up with me.
Had a day off yesterday, and a couple easy days before that…and yet I am too tired today to do much, so I treated it as a bit of a deload day.

Uh, not great today. Should probably not have done this immediately after a day of difficult squatting, I think it takes away some of the pop. Anyway, I actually failed the first attempt at 115, which surprised me. Had to focus to get it up on the second.
Not bad, I guess, but last week was better.

Haven’t been pulling from the floor much lately (kinda by design), so did a bit today. 210 was tough but solid.

Backing off and doing more volume is paying off on the bench. 2 rep PRs today. 90 for 20 pretty much ruined me, so had to switch to a machine from there.
