Thanks for dropping in. Keep doing the main compounds and you'll see great gains.
The gym at the resort has DBs up to 60# and got some work in while the wife was making a lantern or something. I did some DB squats, shoulder presses, and thrusters with 50-60#, the thrusters are very tiring! Also attempted dips and pullups, but pec was still bothering me. My shoulder has felt kind of funny, as well. I've been reading how that whole area can be affected, so I an thinking of laying off some lifts for a while.
I also worked in some other assistance work including DB over head squats.

Diet has been junk lately, so we are going a low carb route. Last night we made "get some" ice cream...the recipe can be found by googling "get some" or "bulletproof" ice cream...can't link well from mobile. Going to limit beer intake, it always seems to increase over summer. Time to fix that! I would like to get down to 230 by start of practice in August.

Did some conditioning today, about 30 mins of 40m sprints. That's not too much to write home about, but I did come to a realization after watching some of the videos I took of my lifts. My plates looked a little smaller in diameter than regular plates, so I decided to measure them. They are 16", about an inch an three quarters less than standard...wondering if that's worth an extra 20# on DLs?!? Probably not, but since I was planning on buying my next pair of plates other than a big chain store (hopefully bumpers), I might find out later this year.

I was trying to max one last time on deads for a while but I found even overlapping deadlift and squat programs even for one week stinks. I'll try aster this cycle is up. I have a feeling the 5 sets of 7 will be the hardest day.
Didn't have time for much else, had to make it quick...considering lifting in the morning first thing. We will see about that.

Felt food today with a new approach after burning out last week. I started a wave type pattern with squats. I read a bunch of articles about the system and seems natural...if you look at the point in my log where I started squatting seriously, I used a similar pattern. I combined front and back squats with fronts being the first part of the wave.

1X3 @225
1X2 @235
1X1 @245

Shoulder raises and random arm work.
Hopefully dips Wednesday.

I keep missing at the bottom on the OHP at that weight. I figured a different rep scheme might help...might need another approach.

Every now and again, I will try something stupid, like go for a max in successive workouts, but usually not on the same lift. Friday I hit 365 on squat, felt like I had more in me...
OHP
1x5 @135
1X5 @155
1X3 @155
1X5 @145 Still stuck.

Lost it in the hole, always was my sticking point. I had a good reason for trying, going on vacation next week and today was my last squat session for nearly two. Honestly felt like I had 390 Friday, but maybe been too muchax effort! Might try and DL Wednesday morning but not trying to max.

I didn't have time to strength train yesterday, but with upcoming schedule (vaycay before first match next week) I lifted before rugby training today (at least the deads and a few sets of pullups and dips). Kinda hurting now but have a deload next week.
