Traps have been sore af recently. Not the way muscles are usually sore, this **** is irritating.
Not sure what the cause is, nor do I know how to fix it.

Just got back from a vacation with the family.
Got some lifting in on a Force USA functional gym thingy at the hotel we stayed in. Not the best but it was better than nothing.
Didn't log any of it, unfortunately, but there should be more to come soon

As a side note, got an awesome Admission Rank for the final exams that were mentioned earlier in the thread. Much higher than I'd expected.

Close-Grip Bench Press

Wanted to try these out as a possible alternative to dips

Dips [BW]

Decided to stop trying to go deep this time, and suddenly the movement became much more comfortable.
Not sure if I'm passing parallel anymore but this feels both safer and more effective.

Managed to get it but form was dreadful on the last few reps.
Won't be adding weight next session.

Thanks mayne. Pretty happy with how things are moving so far.

SQUAT
120kg 1x3

Felt incredibly heavy.
Was feeling pretty strong during warmups but didn't even come close to the intended 3x5.
Not expecting much but I'll give it one more shot next session.

No lower back pain, but lower back pump this time. It's an improvement :P

This weight is starting to expose my weaker right side.
Final set was the cleanest of them all though, surprisingly.

SQUAT

Biggest mental game ever.
This was so hard to push through.

Really emphasizing pulling the slack out of the bar helps.
Quads were sore af before final rep, perhaps still from squats last session.

Weighted Dips
10kg 3x5

Tricep Cable Pushdown
60lbs 8,8,11
Not quite sure where I pulled those last reps from.
Will give 3x9 a shot next time.

[Oggie22]

On another note, I just realized I'm a dumbass and have been listing 'One-handed Tricep Cable Pushdown' by accident, instead of just 'Tricep Cable Pushdown' (I use a template for logging).

No, I am not capable of 50-60lbs with just one arm. Oops.

First actual PR in a long while
Was difficult but wasn't a struggle, if that makes sense

Lower back is still far more involved than I would like it to be though

Tried an overhand grip rather than my usual underhand.
Sticking to underhand since the former puts too much emphasis on my traps.

Yep, too much. Even 50 was a huge struggle following the first set.
It did a pretty good job at working the shoulders though. Dat pump.

DEADLIFT
147.5kg 1x5
(325lbs)
Strength was definitely there but overhand grip was slipping on the last rep.

Weighted Dips

I told myself I was gonna do 4 sets but I have no idea whether I actually did...

Session wasn't great. Oh well.


BENCH
85kg (5, 4)

Didn't feel as stable as usual. Weight is proving difficult but might be worth another attempt.

SQUAT
125kg 2x5
(275lbs)
Form was a mess overall.
Tweaked my left trap somehow on the last rep.

Pullups [BW]
2x5
Left trap was getting progressively worse so I decided it's safer to wrap up the session early.

Face Pulls
30lbs 3x8
Kept it light as a somewhat therapeutic exercise for the trap before I left.
Helped a little bit.

Used my belt on a working set for the first time. Was a bit more difficult to hit depth as a result.
Belt made holding the weight feel easier, but my muscles were so much more sore afterwards.
