About to find out, 3 max rep sets of squats at 85% today and RDLs

Squats were easy, the RDLs were a no go. Back feels like it had a spasm at some point. Definitely don’t remember that happening.

yep, 10% bw in each hand....i.e. if you weigh 200...20lbs in each hand for a mile. Try not to sit them down.

So today was funny. It really is hard trying to lose weight and get stronger. I’ve lost 45 lbs officially since Labor Day. I’m finally hitting my first near failures. Today was:

BP: 162.5 5/5/7
Barbell Row: 127.5 5/5/7
Squat: 200 5/5/7

The funny part is I’m so nearsighted and didn’t have my readers. I was also just not there. I racked up my rows as OP. And I’m at 110 working weight on OP. I got three OPs up at 127.5 and was like “holly crap, what happened?!? How did I lose so much progress?” Duh.

Last week was a deload. Today, first day of Building the Mononlith.

Squats 195x5/220x5/250x5x5
OHP 90x5/100x5/115x5/90x12

Chinups 99 in 19 sets
Dips 64 in 7 sets
Dumbbell Facepulls 10lbx10x10

My 4yo woke up early and came to the garage with me. When he decided it was time to go inside, well it was time to go inside, which is why I didn't finish the chins & dips. Realized after coming inside I was only one chin short of 100

I've allotted myself 90 minutes to get these workouts in, and this morning took 70. Giant setted the Squats/Chins/DB Facepulls, and then Chins/OHP and Chins/Dips.

The 5x5 squats at 250 was tough. I was considering dropping my training max after today, before looking at what the weights will be in the next few weeks, decided I'm going to push myself at the TM's I've set going in.

My biggest challenge is going to be holding myself accountable for the conditioning.
