Monday, August 8, squat day
Pretty good day. Fairly solid working sets, then enjoyed the challenge of rack squats at a considerably heavier weight than I've done before. Felt good!

Warmup...

Welcome!!! Keep at it and you'll do great!

Indeed - good work! I of course typically just do DO during warmups - my top sets that day were at 430, which if I could DO or hook I would but alas I cannot. :) And yes you are making progress with...

I love your interest and follow up at least!
Right now I have three firm(never miss) powerlifting workouts a week - about 90 minutes each including warmup/stretch. I do train pretty high...

All the reasons. Health. To answer 'what if' (I had really tried it), Fun. Feeling good about my self. Competition. Self-discipline. Being there for my family.
Good luck bro.

Last night worked on block presses to get me over the hump on rep six at heavier weight. The first set I had trouble on my right (weaker) side on the final rep - the...

Keepin it going!

Monday, August 1, squat day
Just getting back into a new cycle - planned to try 4x8 but just didn't get there, still, I actually feel ok about 3x6 at 425 with plenty of other stuff for the legs...

Getting back into the swing of things. Last cycle was my best squat cycle ever; this one has been a bit more of a struggle. Hanging in there though! 18 total reps at 425 isn't bad... I dropped about...

One of my favorite things to do ;)

Sunday, 01 August bench day
Feeling good and getting back into it. I believe I did a PR for reps at 248, but it 'should' have been easy - so right on track.

Bench light work: 1x10 @135, 1x10 @...

pyramids aren't a great way to go... if you DO pyramid, do them in reverse (heavier singles first and work 'down' to higher reps).
5x5 variants are quite good for beginners because you get both...

Man had a good life.
Sad to see him go.

All right - nice to be back in action! As usual, deload week (since I have no choice anyway due to the medical stuff) did me good!
Usually my Sunday workout is pretty light but since I had a week...
