San Diego.

Definitely progress on the Keg clean & press. The other exercises it is more of just trying to maintain until I can get back in the gym. At my age just maintaining is kind of a goal anyway.

11/16 Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 197

11/17 DB push ups: 5x10 Weight: 197

11/18: TB DL: 247x 8,8,8,7,7 Weight: 199

11/19: Keg clean & press: 9,8,8,8,8 Weight: 198

11/20: Goblet squat: 5 @ 95x10 Weight: 196

Didn't do rows this week. Onward.

So thankful to live in San Diego. One of the best things about this ridiculousness is lifting outside.

In my backyard. I used to go to the gym at Robb Field. It's a municipal gym so they have never reopened since the beginning of March and there is no good news on the horizon. I've thought about joining another gym but I'm content for now. Also thought about a squat rack and some plates but that's not happening any time soon.

Since I haven't had a vacation in over a year I haven't taken a week off from workouts in over a year either. One thing I like about this OLAD thing is that it's pretty easy on my body so I haven't felt burnt out at all. The max weights I'm dealing with help keep a lid on the stress as well.

Poured a gallon of water into the keg, probably got about 80% of it to go in. If I had to guess I would say the keg is around 40% full. Probably around 65# which doesn't sound like much but I can tell it is going to be really hard for me to work up to 5x10. Time will tell.

Finally got to 5x10 on the TB DL's. I do these with handles down and stand on a platform so they are pretty challenging for me. I'd like to be able to add weight and back off the reps. I'll see if I can come up with something.

I was finally able to buy some Olympic weights. Paid $380 for a full set: 2x45, 2x35; 2x25; 2x10; 2x5; 2x2.5. Came out to about $1.55/lb. Didn't seem bad based on the prices per lb I was seeing in my area. Weights say Weider and are new but I noticed some small chips after I got them home. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. Looking forward to using them on the trap bar.

Handles up with the platform is the same range of motion I was getting before with the DB setup. I bought collars on Amazon that work great. Need to get some mats. The backyard gym is coming together.

Twice weekly at that intensity should be good. You'll probably get a third plate on for reps soon.

Yeah, I'm keeping my eye out for a couple of 45's. The most I can throw on is 295 which is fine for now but hopefully I'll be back to what I was doing before the gym closed.
