Great job everyone!

Maxed out on Deadlift today.

Standard grip to 285 lbs. Switched to over under and got a PR of 325 lbs. Weighed in at 166.2 lbs. this morning. Hoping to trim some fat to get into the 150s this year but maintaining strength.

Leg Day:

Rain this morning prevented my run. Knew I’d have more power for legs.

Squat: 185 5x5 (had been stalling at 185 for 1 set)

Lunges: 35 pound dumbbells (too light) 3x10

Romanian Deadlift: 95 1x8, 135 1x4, 95 1x8

The deadlifts killed my hamstrings. Also threw in a few sets of pull ups.

Leg day today. Quite meh.

Squats went :
135x10
155x7
155x6

Gotta fix my form cause it was murdering my lower back.

My isolation exercises are getting better. Hammy curls and quad extensions felt good.

It's frat star Friday ladies and gents. I'll be curling in the squat rack, flexing at the dumbell rack, and blasting club tunes on my Bluetooth speaker for all of your listening pleasures.

I ain't doing DC right now. I'm doing the whole controlled 10-12 reps with slow eccentric to get some volume and muscle endurance before I go full DC or FST7

Push Day:

Barbell Bench: 135 3x5 (easy)
DB Flat Bench: 40, 50, 55 1x5 each (searching for right weight)
Seats DB OHP: 45 3x6
Dips
Push Ups

On another note, the Romanian deadlifts from yesterday destroyed me. I’m terrified of my long run tomorrow. I can barely walk right.

got some other programs you would prolly like. email me if you wanna look around on my drive.

i think you would really like a band intensive mesocycle using john meadows program x. hypothrophy based but uses alot of the principles he learned while training at westside to do so.

I'm down to look. I might already have access.

I want to do a purely aesthetic program and not worry about strength. Although I will try to do as much as I can. Also gonna try to get some conditioning in.

Just wanna experiment.

I'm going to shelve squatting. Need to get healthy.

Bench, 250x2 followed immediately by 250x3 board press.
4x5 heels elevated goblet squat to try to get some quad work in.
2x5 feet elevated, weighted pushups and rows.

Conditioning, EMOM either 2 sandbag over shoulder (200 LB) or box jumps with 50 lb kettlebell.

Bloodflow restriction arms to finish.

Bench yesterday was typical. 225x10, 245x5, 225x8

Deadlift today felt good. Getting better every time.
135x10, 185x5, 225x3

The 225 reps were easy and controlled. Pretty sure I could have bagged 285 but I'm still trying to make sure I don't get ahead of the knee.

Rough couple of months for me, after I was finally gaining some momentum.

My mother passed away, and I caught the flu. Needless to say I wasn’t feeling very motivated to get in the gym.

Finally made it 3 times this week

Today:
Squat 195 5x5
Bench 140 3x10
Lat Pulldown 110 3x15
Dumbbell curls 30 3x10

Bouncing back.

Lifting 6 or 7 days a week. Getting good results. It's a lifestyle, not just something you do
