Hiya 
Sweet I dig it! I may be the only person on TN that does NOT listen to metal. eye roll
Btw, I forgot to say - nice training. Shrugging is good stuff. I refuse to do it but, evs.
Your milkshake brings all the girls to the yard.
^I had no idea where that came from. Google to the rescue.
You funny.
Deads + back
140 x 3
230 x 3
330 x 1
380 x 1
425 x 1
445 x 0…made it to knees and basically bailed on lift. Should have had it.
Strength is down a bit from lack of consistent training and eating. I’m determined to get back on track.
High squats to pins (down on from last time)
230 x 3
330 x 3
380 x 1, 2
Wide grip chins
5x5
Good mornings
140 x 6
160 x 6
185 x 7,7
Nothing memorable but I feel like I’m back in the saddle.
Those are some fine good mornings there sir.
Looking strong GTD. Glad to read you’re back in the saddle. I’m weak off the floor with deads. If I get it to my knees I’m all set.

That’s what was so puzzling to me. I have never missed a DL if I can get it mid-shin or higher. I think I just wimped out.

Thanks Joe. Haven’t done them in a long time.
I can feel them in my erectors this morning. Not as much in my hamstrings as I was expecting. I’m not sure if I should put them on DL day or squat day. Or, if it matters.

Me I’d put them on squat day, but then I have this fear of over loading the lower part of my posterior chain.
Glad to hear you are back in the saddle, so to speak.
Bench (5s day) and stuff
YTW warmup
95 x 5
140 x 5
190 x 5
200 x 5
210 x 5…PR +1 rep
200 x 4…upper back slipped on bench. Don’t want to chalk my back. Maybe hockey tape on bench will work.
190 x 5
Speed bench, no lock-out
140 x 15, 10, 10
EZ curls alternating with CG bench
3 x 8-10 each
The benching seems to be going really well for you. Nice! You should really get some heat in the shed. Does lifting in gloves mess with you?

Thanks Kimba. It seems to be s-l-o-w-l-y moving in the right direction. The gloves are thin mechanics gloves. They only mess with deads so I take them off.
Heat and light…I agree. I’ve had three electricians lined up but they all bail since the job is small. Working on another option. The cold is actually not bad. But I need the electrical done so I can finish up some other stuff so it is annoying.

Great Benching Git, You get an amazing amount of arch in your back…i’m not that flexible yet.
Do your wrists start to hurt on your heavier sets? I ask because it looks like when you unrack the bar your wrists and elbows are lined up directly under the bar and by the fifth rep they don’t seem to be under the bar anymore…the wrists anyway, elbows seem to stay in line. I only notice because i’m really struggling with it myself.
Hey, thanks for popping in.
I hadn’t noticed a change in wrist angle before. Great, something else to worry about, lol.
No wrist issues but the weight isn’t that heavy.
On the other hand, I find squats beat the crap out of my wrists.
nice bench PR GIT!

X2 on the squats…that’s why I noticed my wrists on the bench. My last squat day I moved to a low bar position and couldn’t believe how much pressure was on my wrists. Went to bench the next day and the pain in my wrists made it obvious that I don’t keep them under the bar.
Hi Mainy!
Between The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather I have quite a bit of Jack White stuff.
Squats and stuff
Worked up to 355 x 2…target was 355 x 5 since I had done 350 x 5 a couple of weeks ago. Not training probably had something to do with it.
235 x 10 x 3 reps…strict form, below parallel with a 2 count pause. This started to suck around set 7.
Some Natural GHRs and light stiff leg DLs
