re: Daily Strength Check-In

This happen to you lmao? Moments like that are definitely eye openers.

Hey at least it was your warmup sets ha. I know I've had a brain fart racking plates before in lala land and the plates fell off the other side.

They look brutal. I might try them out when I change programs.

If you are high repping rows, you really need straps. It makes a big difference.

Note: you may already do this, I was just making a general comment

Yeah we use straps on a lot of the pulling motions in this program since it’s more bodybuilding focused.

I'm not planning on competing so I usually strap on the deadlift once it gets over 365 or so.

What's this shite with Jeff Nippard getting choke slammed by some fricking goon? Unbelievable!

Anyway....

I'm on what I'm calling Cycle #1 of 5/3/1 (I fricked around and had lots of starts and re-starts and stops and interruptions over the summer and actually completed one single cycle of 5/3/1, but it took me 12 weeks to do it )

Now, to make it easy on myself and allow me to focus on being consistent, I've set very conservative maxes and I'm not truly pushing myself as hard as I could during these sessions. I've come to accept that my shitty diet and sleep doesn't allow me recover from my training and it's probably why I can't adhere to a consistent schedule. I'm humbled and kinda starting over, BUT....it's going really well, and for the first time in fricking years I can honestly say I'm having fun while lifting and I'm starting to look forward to sessions instead of looking forward to figuring out what I'm gonna be binging out on, and then finding an acceptable excuse to not workout on any given day. Pretty pathetic. So....on to today.

Cycle #1 of 5/3/1 - W3D1 - Press (+daily SQUAT!)

1. Press:
#1 - 165lb x 5
#2 - 190lb x 3
#3 - 210lb x 5(AMRAP)

2. +daily SQUAT!
135lb x 10 x 3 sets

No assistance, no auxiliary, no accessories, no nothing, I can't do that shite, I"m too fricking fat. That's it, felt like I could have got 10 reps on that last set with 210 but I'm no longer letting myself push that hard, not until I know I can behave myself and improve my recovery ability. Most important thing to me right now is adhering to a strict schedule and being consistent. All right, good talk, gotta go to bed now.

I don't know everything that was said but it seems like the big guy was in the wrong.

NO doubt about that. I watched the video, that dude is going to jail, but from the looks of him he may have already been to jail. In fact, he may have become confused from all the Tren he's pumping and thought he was "on the inside" for a moment and had to take Jeff out. What a fricking cocksucker.

ETA: Congrats on the milestones!
