5/15 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x9 Weight: 202

5/16 1 arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 203

I donated a trap bar to my gym years ago. I'm debating whether to contact someone there to see if I can have it back while we are locked out. I'd have to buy some plates but it would worth it IMO.

Week 9 I can see light at the end of the tunnel WO

5/22 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 200

5/23 1 arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 201

I'm hoping the gyms might reopen soon. I need my gym to reopen soon.

6/20 1 Arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 199

Added about 5 lbs to my keg. Hopefully I'll be able to continue with the rep progression. I am getting stronger on these. I have another heavier keg that I couldn't get 1 rep on that I was able to do after my regular keg workout.

I'm actually starting to like the idea of not driving to the gym. I do miss my trap bar DL's and my squat bar though.

Week 14 Hitting the backyard...Week 10 OLAD

6/15 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 197

6/19 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 197

6/20 1 Arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 199

Would love to be able to add some weight to the DL's and squats. I need to check with my gym again to see if there is an ETA on opening.

That's brutal. I hope they reopen the gyms in your area soon.

Some private gyms did reopen but now they are closed again. I'm pretty sure mine, which is a city gym, never reopened. I haven't been motivated to check since the day I went to pick up my trap bar that I donated and there was nobody in the office. This was the day after they told me that there would be somebody there. Arrggh.

7/10 Keg clean & press: 5x8 Weight: 196

7/12 1 arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 197

Jacked up week. Had a really bad migraine on Tuesday so I missed that day and then Saturday was a cluster F so missed the chance to make up a day. Oh well.

Week 13 OLAD

7/13 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 195

7/14 DB Push ups: 5x10 Weight: 196

7/19 1 arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 196

At least my body weight has been remarkably consistent. I finally got around to picking up my trap bar. Now if I only had some weights.

Week 14 OLAD

7/20 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 195

7/21 DB push ups: 5x10 Weight: 196

7/22 DL stuff: I tried hooking my trap bar up with bands with mixed results. Did a few sets with the DB's. Pretty unfulfilling day. I searched for a solution which should be here by my next DL day. Fingers crossed.

7/23 Keg clean & press: 5x10 Weight: 196. Time to add some weight for next week.

7/24 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 196

7/25 1 arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 197

7/26 BDay. 64. I don't feel a day over 60.

Week 15 OLAD

7/27 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 196

7/28 DB push ups: 5x10 Weight: 196

7/29 Trap bar DL: 5 @ 207x10 Weight: 198

7/30 Keg clean & press: 5x5 Weight: 197

7/31 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 196

8/1 1 arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 199.

Since finding plates right now is almost impossible and really expensive when you do find them I opted to try another solution:



I found this company which makes hooks so that you can attach DB's together. I figured they might work to attach to my trap bar. It didn't go as smoothly as I hoped but in the end it wasn't too bad. I have a few adjustments in mind for this week which hopefully will make it easier.

I was putting dumbbells in old gym bags and duffel bags and hanging them off a bar.

That's a good idea. I wish I had thought of that.

Week 16 OLAD.

8/3 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 197

8/7 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 198

8/9 1 arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 198

New setup for the trap bar DL's worked a lot better. I was able to catch the hooks on the outside of the TB. After the 1st set the bar actually stayed in the hooks which made it much better. I stood on some 2x4's for some more range of motion. I built a platform to stand on for this week. Good times!

Week 17 OLAD

8/23 1 arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 197

Week 20 OLAD

8/31 Goblet Squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 196

9/1 DB push ups: 5x10 Weight: 196

9/4 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 196

I was going to do 1 arm DB rows yesterday but after working a 16 hour day on Saturday and the ridiculous heat in San Diego I just couldn't get motivated. Onward.

Week 21 OLAD

9/7 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 194. Damn, I'm wasting away to nothing!

9/8 DB push ups: 5x10 Weight: 195

9/10 Keg clean & press: 7,6,6,6,6 Weight: 197

9/11 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 197

9/13 1 arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 196

Decent week. I have a 5 month old puppy (Aussie Shepherd/Huskie mix) that comes in the backyard when I do my workout. Between sets we play fetch and mess around. For some reason he flips out when I do push ups. He tries to get under me and then he'll attack my head biting my hair. I'm usually laughing so hard I can barely finish a set. Dogs are awesome.

9/18 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 196

9/19 1 arm DB row: 5 @ 75x10 Weight: 196

On Thursday my pooch came out in the yard with me to work out. He still had his vest on from when we went for a walk earlier. He hates putting the vest on or taking it off so I should have been more focused on taking it off but I tried undoing the clip with one hand while he grabbed my other hand in his mouth. I got frustrated trying to undo the clip which resulted in him biting down on my finger drawing blood. I was pissed. Yelled at him and went inside to stop the bleeding. When I came back out there was paper all over the backyard. The little bastard got my workout notebook and shredded it. Dogs are awesome.
