Dude. Just stab yourself. Probably less painful.

At the time, I didn't know I was also getting a cold.

Good workout today. I didn’t think the KB swings would make me work as hard as I did. After 50 or so, I was starting to fell the burn.

Welp after blowing my back out again I've decided back squats just aren't in the cards for me. Guess I'll never get into the 1000 lb club unless my deadlift creeps up close to 500

Flat Bench 235 x 8 x 3
Incline Bench 135 x AMRAP x 3

I do not, but I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the tip!

Yesterday’s workout. Went for a 2.5 mile run today.

That's a bummer man. Good luck with the recovery. How much pain are you in?


Monday 5/3/1 BBS Bench

Swapped Squat and Bench day as I did a pretty grueling 10 mile hike with 3k+ foot elevation gain Saturday. Need another day to let the legs recover

Top Set 200 x5. Smooth and Easy. Pretty clear my bench is comfortably in the 200s now with some room to grow.

BBS Set was not bad. Bar Movement was slower than I wanted but still good.

Tuesday 5/3/1 BBS Squat

Top Set 255 x5. Smooth sailing again. Looking forward to the PR Test at 290 soon.

Squat BBS Sets. Mother of God these suck the soul out of me. Definitely will be sore from this one.

Accessories: Back Extensions, Hanging Leg Raises, Hamstring Curls.

I probably had 5 more reps in me on bench until I had a cramp in my left hamstring. fricking bummer.

Deadlift PR of 365 lbs this morning weighing 173 lbs. Feeling pumped for the week.

Nice my PR is 350 at around the same weight. Awesome feeling. Let’s go get 405!
