My lower back was feeling beat up, probably from all the benching. Should've taken an extra off day. Will do that next time.

I've been neglecting squats. Weight was 169.x after four days of carbs and two of those days I hit 500g.

Just gotta limit my desserts and carbs when I can.

Flat bench felt like trash today. It felt good on Thursday. I guess not enough recovery but I legit took two off days and ate pizza last night.

What's y'all snapchats? Follow me: missingbagels lol and see how fat I really am. Instagram not even the start of my fatness smh. I shouldn't have 148 goals.

lol 148. Something to keep in mind: Your body weight goal of 148 will surely negatively affect bench press numbers. Decide what's more important to you and focus on that imo.

True. I'd like to be leaner so that will be the main goal. 148 with water cut not walking weight if it matters.

Most of my pressing will come from incline variations. Safer for my pec which feels kinda beat up. Haven't been keeping up with the already infrequent icing or massage.

Light DB bench for blood flow. Kinda ok about this session since I was still sore from Tuesday. During deads my left hammy felt off but it went away after *shrug*

Contemplating doing "heavy" or volume pulling once every 10-11 days or every third lower body session to give my lower back more recovery time and putting a focus on squatting. We'll see. Trying linear progression on squats because they just feel like absolute trash. How'd I get from a 295x2 front squat to having a hard time hitting back squats with 205. Lololol

Do you have access to boards and people to hold them for you? If so, that's a good way to rehab sore pecs.

No I don't but can easily use a phone book or a 10lb plate and stack em. My right pec has 5+ knots and I don't see em ever going away just gotta watch the comp and wide grip work or just do mostly close grip and inclines I guess. My triceps are weak anyway.

How about a modified towel press?

I hate them because the reduced ROM feels like ass, but when I do them, I wrap a towel around the pussy pad, then I tie a wrist wrap around it to make it really tight.

I can do towel presses. Gym I use on Sunday has towels for days. I think I'd use more pecs if I paused on a towel unless you supposed to let it sink all the way.

Here's my 132/148 bro pulling 500

You should feel disgusted, but mostly because Salted Caramel is the GOAT Talenti flavor. Southern Butter Pecan? C'mon!
