Probably taking off until Monday or Tuesday so I did lots of extras. I think it was easier to incline 225x5x5 than it was to wide grip it today smh.

Still think I will make some gains down the road with this grip. Keeps my tricep healthy and seems to not bother my pec.

Think I got irritated when I tried because the high handles felt way too hard with little weight. The next day was when I got 275 for fives on squats.

Will try and hit pulls probably Thursday or Friday.

Didn't have a spotter so couldn't really push it. Wrestling team was coming it so didn't go according to plan. Thought I only had 5 minutes or so to bench but had 20 so def could've gotten 3-5sets of 4-6 in instead of heavy triple.

If its seemingly too hard, its probably something you need to work on more, not less.

300x6 @8.5 (looks 7.5)
275x5 x2

Felt pretty gassed. Sleeps been bad but eating has been too good. Possibly evens out. Also got kinda hyped up for the 300 "amrap." 275 last warmup felt decent and thought I could do multiple doubles with 295 but just decided to slap on 300 for an amrap.

Leg press
Single leg 2x

Bulgarian split squat
2x

Curls

Caught quad cramps at Target. That was fun. Supposed to do pulls on Thursday but I'll likely take a light squat day as a deload so I can start fresh in the new year.

Last week pulled 375x2 x2 then 275x3 x5 before a few sets of five with trap bar. High volume bench Tuesday.

Gym was packed. Joined the 24hr. Decided to not do the facepulls I had planned.

Idk what my schedule is gonna be like but I gotta lift on Saturday and Sundays now to make this gym membership worth it. Maybe take Monday and Friday off.

Need to settle on a split. Would probably be best if I dropped the weight on squats and got more volume in. Felt wrecked after the 4th set. Did a single 185 front squat and was like NOAP.

I'm fat. I eat ice cream multiple times daily. Lowest I've seen my bodyweight in 2017 is 187.9 and I'm cool with it as long as the strength gains keep coming. Ideally I'm closer to 175 in case I do actually do another PL meet.

Blaming the PR deadlifts and lack of sleep last night for worst session in last 4-5 weeks. On Saturday got 275x8 @7.5 or whatever on bench. Today 255 no way I get 5 reps. Turned into a bodybuilding day.

CNS gotta be facked and lack of sleep doesn't help. Taking next two days off, eating a ton of carbs because I'm fat and gonna see what happens on Saturday with bench.

Next squat session will be Monday or Tuesday and I would like to hit some kinda PR.
