Solid work in here Brian. High rep squats suck balls so my hat’s off to you.
Gorilla,
Thanks for the explanation.
JJack,
Yeah, they do, that’s why I quit.
Sunday
My training ADD along with my aversion to pain kicked in today and I completely revamped my workout, a real shocker I know, I am beginning to think that I shouldn’t even plan my training, I should just go to the gym and do whatever the hell I feel like that day, so with that in mind I did this today, tomorrow may be very different of very similar.

Now I am all caught up again.
It is always good to see you here. And I can relate on the program jumping. I, too, love to mix it up all the time. But it gets counter-productive pretty quickly.
kp,
I would imagine that I would see more progress if I stuck to something long enough for it to work the problem is that all of my “commitment” energy is taken up by my marriage and my kids, the rest of my life is pure anarchy.
9/23
After a one day break where I felt like shit I went back to the gym.

Today (at the gym with no bumper plates so it essentially sucked)
Bench- w/ups 320x1, 340x1, 360x1, 380x1, 355x2, 335x3

Complexes (Row-Cleans-OHP-Squat-Good Mornings 5 reps each) 95 x 1 circuit, 105 x 1 circuit, 110 x 1 circuit need to go up quite a bit in weight
Today was just designed to get some work in, I kept it all really light and just got the blood flowing, tomorrow will be heavier I believe.
Great work. Those complexes look interesting.
I believe there is a quote to the effect of “God laughs when we make plans” I may be paraphrasing but yesterday I said today would be heavier, it was not, it just felt that way.
Bench- w/ups- 320 x 2, 340 x 1, 360 x 1, 380 x 1, 400 x 0 (my wrist gave out and the bar rolled back towards my face, oops)
Said fuck it and did complexes.
Complex ( 5 rows, 5 cleans, 5 OHP, 5 squats, 5 GM’s) 135x1x1x1
went home and sulked.
Urbanman,
Interesting is one way to look at it, I just find them challenging.
Im going to ask what I am sure is just a dumbass old goat not being able to think question: what is Bench w/ups…
Always moving strong numbers in here.
Have to agree with you on the “God laughs when we make plans” thing. I’ve been subject to that sort of situation much lately. As another wrote, “The plans of mice and men oft go astray.”
Mr. Goat,
It’s just lazy person for “warm-ups”. Ty for stopping by.
Gorilla,
Plans were easier 25 years ago, unfortunately those plans often ended with a hangover, “plans” to get stronger are more clearly defined as “wishes” nowadays.

So my gym has been closed since 10/1, subsequently I have been looking for a new gym that would fit my needs, strangely I found it It has everything I need and want (lots of weights, prowlers, racks and benches with band pegs, kettlebells, oly platforms etc and things I like MMA, Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing etc and things that would be cool if I were less an enemy of gravity i.e. rock climbing walls, pools etc. I love it, joined yesterday and had a relaxing training session today. I have hopefully included pictures, like it is my baby
