9/28

Felt like trash today. Sleep was bad and not enough calories probably. Took it easy nothing even to @8 on anything.

DB shoulders
70s x8 x3
55s x10 x3

Seated plate loaded row
(Wide elbows flared)
35s x15
45s x12 x2
Close grip
85s x10 x3

Btn wide pulldowns
3x15

Overheads again Friday or might take off. Squats Thursday and Saturday. Tricep felt great but I rolled and stretched then did a light high rep set of push downs and rolled throughout.

I'm about 70% sure it's a glute thing lol..

Had some DOMS from Tuesday. I like to think it was the GHRs since it's my hammies but I haven't done 5s with more than 225 in a while.

HBBS
275
255x3 x3
225x5 x5

Felt like everything was under or at @8 but I did take longer rest periods than usual. Decided to not do anything else since I've been having trash sleep.

Gonna drop my squat frequency to 2x a week. May attempt to do some pulls Thursday or next week. Haven't been feeling that glute thing.

Really don't know what my obsession is with getting strong(er). It's already proven I will never be a huge squatter but there's an outside chance I can pull 500 some day.. Maybe.

Either way training would probably be easier and I'd be way less banged up training for aesthetics. But I'm fat and can't diet good anymore.

10/4

Military press
155
185x4.5 lol..
155x10 @8.5
155x10 @9.5
155x6 @9.5

High incline DB press
45s x10 x4
Not as high incline
45s x10 x6

Upright row wide
65x10 x3

Klokov press
Bar x20 x3

Band pullaparts
10x 20r

The 185 fifth rep fail might've been a WIM thing. It was right at my sticking point.

The DB incline presses were mostly to test my pec. Felt zero soreness so hopefully it's on its way to healing. It was a high incline though.

Being really strong is awesome.

You haven't proven anything about never being a huge squatter. You've only proven that you have yet to figure out and do what's necessary for you to be a huge squatter.

If you want to pull 500 bad enough, you'll figure out what to do to make it happen.

Not 100% confident in the glute thing but 335 would've been a decent see of five today.

On loleg press I set my feet high up on the sled hopefully getting more hammies.

Easy day. Took a shot and hit flat bench and wanted to do more but played it safe.

Plan is I guess two OHP days and slowly work in heavier benching. Maybe inclines mainly to start.

At least you have a desire to get stronger and you do actually lift. You need that.

Lots of volume for me. Slapping the belt on allowed me more sets. Was gonna stop after 5x5 and do lighter work but was lazy to drop the weight.

Tricep adhesions usually are the things that cause elbow issues for me. If pressing seems to make them worse, that's probably your problem.

My left shoulder hurts in some positions. When you pull on your own arm to stretch rear Delt... Somewhere near that area and in other positions. There's this not so sharp pain that comes and goes.
