Haha. Well, as long as we can work out some sort of reciprocal arrangement…
Chest plus stuff
So, I’ve apparently forgotten how to bench. It has been a while. Not tight, flaring arms, not using lats to for control, not driving with legs at the right time…craptastic.
Bench
- approx. 10 sets of 3 using 190-210lbs
- the last two sets were probably the best
- more consistent lifting will fix this (the better weather will make this easier)
Decline bench
- haven’t done these in years
- meh
Incline bench
- 3 x 10-8
- I like the Meadows advice to stop a few inches from touching upper chest to take stress off shoulders.
Lying triceps extensions
3 x 12
Spider curls
3 x 10
That incline bench trick works? Cool. Gotta try that.
Lookie there, Git: beauty and brains. 8th wonder of the world.

Flattery will get you everywhere…speaking of which, where should we go? I was thinking about California. I remember driving on the Pacific Coast Highway years ago. Some great food along there too. Probably find you a Cinnabon for dessert if you like.
Nice pressing.
Go to Cozumel, warm blue water and good tequila.
You had me at “where should we go?”
I hopped in your passenger seat at “find you a Cinnabon for dessert”
LOL @ Joe planning the trip

Legs
I’m going to go back to a pseudo 5/3/1 template for a couple of months and see how it goes. I picked up where I left off a couple months ago.
Squats - i would have to check but it’s been several weeks since I switched to front squats. Hey, guess what? If you stop squatting you start to suck at squatting.
235 x 5
280 x 5
310 x 5…that was harder than it should have been
Front squats with a pause at bottom
190 x 3,3,3
RDL
140 x 5
235 x 3
285 x 3
330 x 3
370 x 8…PR +20lbs (vid)
Leg curl
12, 10, 6 + partials to failure
Those are some badass RDL’s.

Thanks Joe.
love the collapse at the end…
and Joe is right - they are badass, great stretch at the bottom!
Huge RDL’s nice work
Shoulders…commercial at lunch time.
Gym is quiet these days. They opened a new shiny one not far away. I forgot my iPod so I had to listen to horrible top 40 = sad.
But my hot MILF friend with her new, perfectly sized for her physique boobs was there = happy.

370 x 8 for RDLs is HUUUUGE!
Me thinks it’s time you had a crack at a 500 lb deadlift.
I think you’re good for it.

FB, I’m embarassed to say but I actually don’t remember the last time I deadlifted. It’s been literally weeks. My schedule has been completely out of whack.
But I’m determined to get some structure back. Hence the move back to 5/3/1. Well, kinda. I’m going to keep reps lower on the main movements and get my singles in.
I really do appreciate youur confidence. 500 is a goal of mine. Time to go get it! I’m under 200lbs so a 2.5xbw DL would be kinda neat.

Especially in yoga pants and a new sassy cut and auburn hair color.
No way to have a bad session when there’s eye candy.
Those heavy weights give me some insight into the convo: “Hey MILF. Oh these weights? Just my deload week.”

ditto. 370 for 8 on RDL’s is massive.
