Weight this morning: 193.6.

11/27: Vertical Push/Pull

OHP: 10x45, 7x75, 5x95, 3x115, 1x135, 3x4x145

Superset A (90 seconds rest):
Standing DB Press: 10x5x50
Weighted NG Chin: 10x5x+10

Had to clean up the weight for OHP, so didn't do anything heavier than the work sets. Should have 3x5x145 in a few weeks. Finally got 5x10 on the chins, but didn't have time for the last two supersets. Still feels good to get this workout done with so I can DL tomorrow.

No idea what the weight was this morning, but I ate well over a pound of turkey and didn't go overboard on the sides and desserts, so I don't think there was too much damage. Had another pre-workout donut; felt good.

11/28

DL (Working max= 360, 3/2/1s)
10x135, 5x185, 3x225, 3x255, 3x270, 2x290, 2x305, 4x325

Front Squat (every other minute on the minute)
10x45, 5x95, 2x125, 5x3x155

Leg Extension: 2x20x110
Leg Curl: 2x20x90
Adduction Machine: 2x20x110
Standing Calf Raise: 2x20x110

Felt stronger on DL than last week; took a minute or two more rest than usual between the last few reps and it seemed to help. I also used some liquid chalk again, in addition to the straps on the 305 set and above, for the first time in a while, and it seemed to help. I was pretty happy with four reps, but looking to the video I probably could have at least attempted a fifth.

Bumped up the FS weight and everything was still pretty snappy and easy.

Definitely had at least one more. I'm not seeing big ass breaths. Other than that, it looked pretty good. I'm not a tall, so maybe there's something else that I'm not tallpriveledged to see.

Such WIM. Your 5RMs look like my 1RMs, except you bang out four more reps.

fmp

Where's BR when you need him?

aura,

It was pretty much just one breath, I think, but one more big breath would have gotten me another one probably.

fakeb,

Appreciated, but it will mean more when I can pull something respectable.

Nice work. ever tried lolsumo?

realb,

Danke.

I tried sumo once a number of years ago, but it didn't really click and seems like kind of a cop out, considering I'm relatively certain I'm built close to ideally for conventional.

!!!!!

Dat V. Might have something to do with the wifeacore no longer complaining about your gym time

loco/Weasel,

Still fat, though. Abs may not actually exist.

Weight this morning: 194.6. Had an iron chef competition at the house last night; ate and drank more than on Thanksgiving by a non-trivial amount. Nieces are leaving this afternoon, so we will return to normalcy shortly.

11/30
Row (tabata, 20 s sprint, 10 second pace, 8 rounds): 4 mins, 1010 m total
Ab wheel (kneeling): 4x8
Walking: 45 mins @ 4 = 3.00 miles

Tired from the booze and deadlifting yesterday; had no gas for the tabata. Oh well.

Going to be onsite at a local client next Thursday/Friday/Monday, so I'm going to have to figure out how to get the gym in. Will likely go the next four days so I just have to fit the deadlift in workout by next Saturday, but it's still annoying.

Weight this morning: 194.6. Still too much junk food in the house due to the nieces staying, but they're gone now.

11/30

Bench (paused): 10x45, 10x95, 5x135, 3x175, 2x205, 3x3x230

Superset A (90 seconds rest):
Incline DB Bench: 10x5x75
DB Row: 10x5x100

Superset B (60 seconds rest):
DB Flye: 5x10x25
Facepulls: 5x10x55

Superset C (60 seconds rest):
DB Hammer Curl: 5x12x20
Cable Triceps Pressdown: 5x12x75

Felt a little week on bench, but I had a bit too much wine last night. Maybe could have gotten 3x4 with a spot, but felt like I should keep it safe. Superset A continues to be hard, but maybe I'll move up to 80s on incline in a few weeks.

What weight are you trying to get down to, Monte?

As low as the wifeacore and mamacore allow him, I reckon.

Or until chiseled abzzzzz.

DL's look prettay good but dang, when do you learn to edit out the shenanigans with the strapzzz.
It's ruining my community experience.

pummiisright.jpg, probably high 180s will have to do.

Got a 48 hour stomach bug yesterday and have been crapping every few hours since. So much fakeLBM lost

God. Sorry to hear that Monte. Seems like you get sick so often. I know it's really just a few times a year, but that really sucks.

Weight this morning: 189. Shocking that bookending ten days of not working out with two bouts of an extreme ****ting virus will cause the weight to fall off, although I ate like **** in the interim. Back to it, though.

12/9

Bench (paused): 10x45, 10x95, 5x135, 3x175, 2x205, 3x3x225

Superset A (90 seconds rest):
Incline DB Bench: 10x5x75
DB Row: 10x5x100

Superset B (60 seconds rest):
DB Flye: 5x10x25
Facepulls: 5x10x55

Superset C (60 seconds rest):
DB Hammer Curl: 5x12x20
Cable Triceps Pressdown: 5x12x75

Dropped back down to 225 on bench because of the layoff, and it was a bit hard, but fine. My work capacity was killed, though, because superset A was terrible and I felt like quitting/could not breath after the third set, but I finished with no modification to the rest time or missed reps. I did lie flat on the floor for two minutes afterwards, though. Everything else was fine.

Glad to see you back in the groove. Getting sick is infuriating.

Glad you're feeling better bro.

Finally hit that high 180s goal weight! Now you can bulk.

I'm sure your performance will be back to normal soon enough. Always hard coming back after time off from AIDS.

180s at your height sounds like death. On the other hand, bulking leads to gains. Good job.

Thanks guys.

I'm pretty close I think, but we'll see. Interested to see how much fakeLBM comes back when I finally get rehydrated.

Weight this morning: 190.2. FakeLBM returning

11/10

Squat: 10x45, 5x95, 5x135, 3x165, 2x195, 5x5x215
DL (Speed): 10x135, 5x185, 3x235, 3x2x275
Leg Extension: 2x20x110
Leg Curl: 2x20x90
Adduction Machine: 2x20x110
Standing Calf Raise: 2x20x110

4 minutes between squat worksets, 3 minutes between DL worksets, and 90 seconds between everything else. The big lifts were noticeably harder than last time, so I'll stick at these weights for a while I think. SALTS4lyfe
