Been a busy holiday weekend. Xmas party for my cousins in from Colorado this past Saturday. Baked all day yesterday and today is a feast at my moms and dinner at mom in laws tomorrow.

Sorry I haven't posted a lot this weekend but gotta spend time with family.

Hope everyone has a merry Christmas and we get everything we asked for...maintenance elitefts stuff for me.

[Anthony21]

Have a happy and safe Holiday brother.

I know, but it is in Germany. We go all out on helping people skip work as much as possible. I just wish places like my gym were open.

Thanks bro. Something nice and light to get back into the swing of things.

Nice boxing day workout.. the second wave of 3/5/1 is about just doing the required reps and not going AMRAP right?

Cycle 1 wave 2 bench 5 reps

Bench
135 1x5
135 1x5
150 1x3
160 1x5
170 1x5
180 1x5

Everything felt faqin heavy today. Arms felt like chit as well. One of them days I guess

BBB bench
135 1x10
135 1x10
135 1x10
135 1x10
135 1x10

Felt a tad better on these, but still felt heavy for some reason. The last set I did not rest long enough and had to really grind out the final 3 reps. Got them all though.

Pendlay
145 1x10
145 1x10
145 1x10
145 1x10

These felt nice and strong. No problems at all. I almost LOL'ed at the dudes that were mirin me doing them.

straight bar cable pressdowns
45 1x20
45 1x20
45 1x20
45 1x20
45 1x20

By this point my tris were fried, but had to press on and git r dun. Was a real struggle on them about the 3rd set but powered through.

Overall, was a real grind of a day on the bench, but such is life. I got all the reps so that's all that matters. Pendlay weight seemed right on as it was a challenge to hit the reps. Gonna enjoy my two days of rest then hit deads on Monday. More snow on the way tomorrow...yippie. Gonna take the boy out sled riding...BRB doing hill sprints in 8'' of snow with a 40lb kid on a sled(who needs a prowler).

Thanks for the sub. I try to get as indepth as I can with my log. 531 is awesome, IMO. though I switched to 3/5/1 so I can do some heavy singles but still following the BBB template.

weather man said we'd only get 1 inch...da faq?

There's a famous story that some older folks like to tell over here about the weather man. Back in the late 80s there was a well known one called Michael Fish who said that it was going to be a nice evening. That night, there was a hurricane, which is like a solar eclipse in the uk. Moral of the story... Don't trust the weather man.

My training has sucked lately too. We'll get through it.

Yeah, it's the only job where you can be horrible wrong at your work and still have a job.

I thgink it probably has to do with the holidays and the 4 day layoff from the gym. Last time I benched was probably over a week ago.

[Anthony21]

I hate those days in the gym. One week everything feels light then the next week everything feels heavy. Sh!t could be a mental fuk for sure.

Nice way to push through it though bro.

Thanks. I checked my log book and it's been over a week since I did bench last time due to the holidays, so that might have had something to do with it as well.

Yea that is probably what it is. Taking a week off for us is like a month.

This is true. Oh well. back in the saddle again.

[ulsak]

It's really funny how your shape can change from one day to another..
