Worked chest again as the rib issue heals...

Bench
Warmups
245x8
255x7
265x5

Incline DB Pullover
50x10
70x10
80x10

Lateral DB raises
35x8
40x8

KB upright rows

The only thing the really hurts is pull-up bar work, so I’m avoiding that.

Recovery legs today. Paused squat triples up to 225 in giant sets with GHR, reverse hyper and core. Finished with 5 min of sled dragging for cardio.

Still trying to shake my cold, so I went lower stress.

Still trying to get healthy. Heavy bench with doubles to 245 in giant sets with sled pulls and side laterals. Then 3 giant sets of weighted dips x 15, 15 and 20, curls, skullcrushers and shrugs.

Battle ropes and sledgehammer swings for cardio. Watched the Punisher last week, used a sledgehammer this week in honor of episode 1.

W18 D3

Bench 250 x 8
Squats - Started having problems hitting depth when doing heavy sets. So, today I did 2 sets of 3 sec pause squats for 6 reps at 285 and the Bring Sally Down challenge with 65 lbs. Gentlemen, my legs are on fire. Hopefully, over the coming weeks, I’ll be able to blast heavy sets ATG again.

I told you!!! It's funny because you said if looks easy, but you have a way of telling me to do things that looks easy, but turns out to be hard. It was like you were hopefully it was gonna be easy like it looked, but deep down you knew better. Those fricking pauses at the end are brutal and your lower back is just screaming.

I don't mean to laugh I just know how it is. I get to start lifting light squats again next week if my knee continues to feel good. Starting for 8 weeks doing the bring sally up challenge twice a week.

Dropping weight on squats to work depth. Just shy of parallel on heavy sets again. I’m dropping the weights WAY down and starting over. I REFUSE to be the half rep pussy of the gym.

FWIW, I have found getting my hips open in a warmup routine has a huge impact on my squat depth. I was worried I was high for a bit and just working hard in warmups on getting my hips open and back had a major impact.

Yeah, I've started videotaping at least one heavy set per session. The video keeps me more honest.

Volume legs today. 4x5 split squats in a superset with RDL's. 2 RDL sets were straight weight, 2 banded. Then 2 hatfield squat sets with GHRs.

Finished with a blend of yoke walks and suitcase farmer's walks for core.

I would like to film myself, but the camera turns my music off. And I don’t want to bring another device just for that.

Back from deload week with traveling and a Labor Day visitors in tow.

Squat 225 3x5
Deadlift 225 1x5
Leg Curls
Leg Extensions
Run 20 mins

Weights went up easy after rest. Did not feel as tight in the core is the biggest complaint but weights moved well.

Volume bench. Being sick has really set me back. I hit 4x3 paused bench at 225 in giant sets with pullups and side laterals. Those 3 reps used to be 5. Then, 4 rounds of weighted dips x 20, curls, skullcrushers and sledgehammer work.

Finished with BFR arm training.
