re: Daily Strength Check-In

I am flat out tired. I think I’m going to do a deload this week.

Power Cleans 175 3x3
Squats 310 2x5; AMRAPx1 (5)
Front Squats 1853x5
Bench Press 250x5; 225 2x5
Barbell Rows 135 2x12
DB Bench 70 2x12
Curls 2x12
Reverse Hypers 3x10

Those squats felt so damn heavy.

Strongman.

Farmers walks. 250x3. 270x1. I would have done more with 270, but grip was a problem today. Kept slipping and losing it. I may need more chalk.

Yoke walk, 475x2.

Core circuit of weighted ab wheel, banded twisty things and lateral/side 200 lb sandbag tosses. Two rounds.

Some extra gorilla grip work so my grip hopefully improves to end things. I hope the monsoon rain starts soon.

A little conservative tonight because my back was bothering me.

Squats, 365x3.

Bench, EMOM, 240x7.

Deadlift doubles to 455 in a superset with good mornings from pins.

Some BB hack squats. 1/2 mile ruck to finish.

Bench looks good man. 255 for 7 is pushing weight brother. I’m hoping I have a good week.

I had a stress filled day at work and it was 108 and fairly humid so 20 min outside sucked...then came the hour in the garage.

Squats 3x315, 325 and 335 in a superset with weighted, feet elevated pushups.

Barbell hack squats 2x5 supersetted with weighted dips x5.

Dynamic paused deads with 1 second ripcord stop x2 supersetted with hip thrusts and pullups.

Finished with some sled pulling. That is vomit worthy in the weather we had today.

This board is one of the best about actual positive support where the normal internet is about sniping people. Even blunter takes here are generally driven by a desire to give people actual good advice they can make positive changes with.

Heck, I'm only pushing 225x8 or so on the bench right now. The desire to go further and better youself is the big thing.

A lot of guys here have been doing this whole training thing for quite a while. Don’t feel intimidated. You won’t get any crap from people here. This thread is about improvement and positive reinforcement. So long as you bring in a good attitude, you’ll fir in.

For the record, I’m strong, but I’m eating for fat loss. Hopefully in a few more months I’ll reverse diet and fricking transform into a beast. We’ll see.

Strongman.

Fixed my farmers walk grip and it hurt, but no slipping. 3 sets with 250 per hand, 2 with 270 per hand.

Giant sets of shrugs, 200 lb sandbag carries and gorilla grip x 3.

Trx bodysaw and pallof press for 3 supersets.

Ryan Bingham, Better Than Ezra and Nelly for music.

This was happening to me bad on one elbow when i was working out. dips would absolutely kill me. Every once in awhile ill do some type of yard work or something that makes it hurt like hell the next day. Its like tennis elbow or something and it doesnt appear that its ever going to go away.
