respecting the light week by not going too hard here

115x4,4,4,10
did sets of triples of neutral grip pullups between. right elbow slightly irritated by last set.

cg bench
125x5x10

superset with

db row
90x3x5,10

instead of going 5x5 I did the fourth set as a set of 10

then I did my run for the day: 32 minutes, ~3.2 miles. the area around the gym is nice because it's the campus and there are trees and stuff, but it's also pretty hilly.

p clean

high pull
225x3
275x3

dl
405x2
320x4x4

also did pullups x 3,4

light week ends! was supposed to do 375, but i'm not doing my highest DL weight at less than 405, c'mon.

right knee felt pain when crouching before picking up bar on cleans. that top layer of stuff just below the kneecap. No good. Probably just a little stressed. will watch it.

running easy 30 min (3 miles)

bnech
215x2
175x4,4,4,10

did pullup triples, like, 5 or 6 sets between those.

superset
thumbless hammer kurlz
40x10

db press
40x7
in the middle of this first set of pressing I felt like my arms were done, so I just quit and wnet home.

it's the week before classes so all the freshmen moved in and they have nothing to do until Monday so they're starting to fill up the gym.

easy run 45 minutes

[gzt]

squats
365x1
285x4x4
I somehow cut my finger during this, so I wasn't going to do any pulls or anything, so I just went home. I was also a little drained. I've been losing 1.5-2# per week for several weeks, I've been running, I ran 4.5 miles earlier today, so maybe that interfered with the legwork, but this kind of felt like a little bit of a limit, and that's fine in a good way. So I will have to think about how my training will accommodate the goal of dropping off some weight while trying to maintain as much strength and muscle as possible.

ran like 3 miles in 30 minutes this morning

press
150x1
115x4,4,4,10

did like 8 sets of 3 pullups

got out of position on the second press. thought this was a fine level of activity for the day, I'm just kind of trying to keep things low volume but hitting the intensity for a couple weeks as I try to lose a little more weight. Right now at around 225.
