I, too, partied with Lindsey. My knee and quad is tight and sore. Def needed the weekend to recover.

Just saw that being I partied with Lindsey, I get to recalculate my weights for the next 2 plus weeks.

It was a grind, but I partied with Lindsay as well. Looking forward to a break this weekend.

I keep my TM artificially low. I started really getting after powerlifting again in April and haven’t missed a day since so I’m ok with knocking it out in two rounds (with good form). I’ve been inconsistent, until April, over the last 5 years. With that being said, here was today’s Squatober for me...

230 x 15 for my first set, and my second set was an easy 6. I slowed my tempo on set two to make it more challenging.

I’ll probably up my TM 5 lbs for the second half of the month but I don’t really care. I’d rather progress slowly as I get older.

This time next year, the numbers will be where I want them to be, but I’ll get there without hurting myself or grinding myself to pulp. I love my garage gym ... it’s where I can get away, so there’s no slowing down anyway.

Squatted 180 or so 3 sets of 7. Not a ton but easing back into it. Legs already feel so much better.

What’s y’all plan after Squatober?

I’d like to start a bodybuilding program focusing on the 4 major lifts.

I’m going to run two, 4-week 5/3/1 programs through the end of the year.

The week of Christmas to New Years I may take off and just do bodyweight HIIT that week because I think I’ll be out of town anyway.

January - March I may run something else from Pen and Paper.

April - June probably 5/3/1 BBB. I think the first quarter of next year will be busy for me. (I’ll still hit my lifts) And April - June will give me the time to do BBB because those are long workouts.

I need to read up on 5/3/1 and see what it entails. I’ll probably do something similar. After running yesterday I think I’m gonna sign up for another 1/2 marathon.

Hit 300lbs for 2 this afternoon. That’s a PB for 2 reps for me. Felt like I could have hit a third!

Nice homie! That’s a good day.

The 4x25 slow and strict BB curls tomorrow will SUCK.

Dang I thought this was Squatober not Benchtober. Tomorrow 15 sets of bench, that will take 45 minutes alone.

Took 275 to the party with Dennis Rodman. Originally was going to do 4’s, but decided to keep going.

I think a lot of people have dropped out by now, including my workout partner (due to injury). But not us, not those posting on this page. We will finish strong. LFG!
