LP - Aug 29

Squat 135/8 - 185/5 - 225/5 - 245/5x4
RD 135/10 - D 225/5-245/5 - RD 155/7-/8
Free Bench 155/8 - 205/8 - 245/5 - 250/5-/3-/5

Squats didn't feel heavy, it's just mental. Deadlifts need work. And, the irony continues as the bench is still heavier than them both. Only managed three on the second work set only because I wasn't ready. For all that, it's good to be going heavy again. I'm built for it.

LP - Whatever the Fock - Aug 26

So, two days of cortisol, worry, and appointments. Training can supplant real life, but we're training to blunt the effects of real life's bruises, right?

AM
Couldn't sleep. Got on the MTB, but my legs were so hollow, I shut it down at Yokuts and did pull ups in my bike shoes and helmet.
8 rounds max reps in 30 on 1.15 of chins, neutral grips and some pulls

PM
1x10 press @ #115/5x135 x 4 rounds
1x5 squat cleans @ #115/5x5 @ #135

Anytime Shafter sucks shite so badly, it's just a tortuous hell to get what I got today. There's one bar and nothing else. Afterwards, tried to forget it at Lengthwise.

LP - Aug 16

Bit of a rush today, skanked a bit on the Bench press, but since I did it on the Smith machine last time, I was approaching this tentatively.

Squat: 45x10, 65x10 (ov) - 185x5, 205x5, 215x5 x3 rds
Dead: 45x10, 135x10, 225x5
Bench (free): 135x10, 205x5, 225x5, 245x3 (fail), 235x5, 245x5 (win)

Says something about my training history that I can walk in pretty cold to the bench after not really having done it for - what? - 10 years and go heavier than both Squat or Dead. Without a spotter. This will change, though. I predict the bench will get stuck very soon, while the Squat and Deads won't until winter. Fingers crossed. Although the squat does feel good. Not light, but good. Especially as it's pushing on my left shoulder when my arm's crimped back.

9 + 2 hours, 2200-0700 /36 hours. 31 mins total, PE: 7. 212/16.
