Congrats on 230x10 squats. My only comment is that halfway through the set you develop some significant forward lean, I'm guessing so that your quads can take over.

time for a log title change, too

What to? POW's DYEL (anymore) Log?

10/27/14

Squat

185x4
205x2
235x6 + f
2x7x210
210x3 (paused) + 1

Super disappointed with 6 @ 235, but quads felt tight and the weight just felt heavy tonight. Not enough pizza perhaps.

Push Press

135x3
3x5x135

Conditioning

3x20x80# KBS

Thanks, LL, but it's only 230x10 and that's USA#1 pounds. Still weak.

Eating makes me quite happy, but I'd be happier if I were healthy and at an optimal weight, which imo for being 6'1 is somewhere around 190 - 200.




Thanks. I definitely noticed my reps got junkier towards the tail end too.

****ty. Felt heavy.

Was thinking about doing some swings, but nah. Perhaps tomorrow.

Sup bro. Glad to see you're back at it.

Eh, I'd hardly say I'm back at it. Working out on average twice a week without any real program or plan. I can't stick to a program because my WIM is at an all time low.

Never thought I'd say this, but working out alone in my custom garage gym is the nut low. Well, maybe not Planet Fitness level terrible, but close. I'd probably feel differently if I had a workout buddy, but alas I do not.

Lifting used to be my favorite part of the day and I'd climb out of bed at 5:30 am to go to the gym. Now, I cannot for the life of me dream of lifting in the morning and I have to drag myself after dinner to force myself to do something. I vastly underestimated how much I valued the social aspect of working out in my Crossfit gym.

i know the feels bro. i have a key to the gym i train at so i can train after hours when people are not there, and its 100% not the same. its way harder to get going and work up to a big lift. but when the coaches and crossfitters are there, even though they stand infront of the platform and walk over my bar, its almost nice. sucks its such a struggle. any way you could ask someone from your old gym if they wanted to work out in the home gym?

Of course you know dem feels, Elrey. What's the sense in dropping the bar on the chalk bucket and getting covered in chalk if nobody is around to see it??

Re your Q, it's not really practical for someone from my old gym to come to my new neighborhood.
