as well rested as I was yesterday, today was the absolute opposite...****ty sleep, long shift at work, and a cranky 9 month year old...tried my best to get in and out with this one...opted out of CG Floor Presses, right elbow was sore from yesterday's Squats, so didn't want to add any more strain. Flossed it pretty good before and after today's session. It only really hurt during full extension on OH work.

Elbow's still not feeling 100%....went thumbs over, instead of around, and think it placed way too much stress on it...still flossing and mashing...not expecting any setbacks, just more of a pain in the ass type of thing, since it's been a while, literally, the longest I've ever trained without a setback.

Badass session. Pulls, bench, and squat all in one. That's work.

Thanks...work capacity almost always improves when I dictate progression in a manner that almost goes against Total Volume as the driving factor. I'll see how I feel after I'm done this 2nd 5 week cycle.

I'll be more than satisfied come December, if I can add 50+ lbs to my total, and am fairly confident 1,400 is within reach.

today was rough...barely any sleep the day before, and a crazy schedule...had to rush through this one, so dropped extras, and skipped warmups for Bench and Deadlift...Deadlift was also supposed to be a top single of 485 from a deficit...have been lazy lately and forgot to make deficit blocks, so didn't have enough plates...went with the stiff bar and tossed an extra 20lbs on...thought it moved fairly well.

backstory: I was expecting to get stuck on a 16hr shift, so my 7yr old didn't expect me to make his class presentation...lucky for me, got off shift @ 8am, got in this quick session, and surprised him at school...he was ecstatic...made my day that much better.

Hi I'm new here. Thought I'd check out the training journals. You're my first stop. :) Great job on your lifts today! And I am sure your 7 year old was grinning from ear to ear. Doesn't take much for our kiddos to smile like that. Glad he was surprised!

After just over 6 years (2.5 of 4pm-12pm Tues/Wed OFF and 3.5 years of 12am-8am Mon/Tues OFF), I finally got a bid with Sat/Sun OFF...still on Graveyard shift...anyways, I start Monday with the new days off, so I'm moving what would have been Monday's session to Sunday, and will deload the rest of the week, before switching specific workout days...so, since I'm planning on hitting all comp lifts on Sunday, I decided to lower overall volume today and exclude RDLs, so I could enter Sunday feeling somewhat recovered...nothing to complain about today, other than OH Press felt heavier than expected.

Decided to give my lower back a break, so went Sumo up to 505, but had an itch for Conv, so went for a 525 single anyways, lol...session felt a bit harder than usual because of the 1 day break, instead of the 2 I'm so used to...otherwise, ready for this deload.
