Squat
225x3x5

A bit of a struggle. I'm going to wear a belt from now on and make one more ten pound jump. My legs tend to blow the fuck up once I start wearing a belt so that should be cool. Back when I used to squat 410 I could scare people by wearing tight pants. Am I the only one that finds that kind of fun?

Bench
140x13x1
145x1
150x1
155x1
160x1
165x1
180x1

180 went up fast. Nice way to wash the taste of yesterdays back workout out of my mind.

Went to a new, much shittier gym. Lots of new fangled equipment that reinvents the wheel with digital rep counters and ROM-o-meters but very limited options. This machine and the lat pulldown.

Lat Pulldown
110x10
120x10

Weighed 177 today, need to start eating more.

Squat
235x3x5

These sets were wonderful. Good for a few more ten pound jumps.

Press
90x4x1
90x3
90x4
90x5

Something like that.

Deadlift
315x5

Very easy. It feels like something clicked today, although it could just be the belt. If things stay like this it should be a straight shot to 405x5.

Oh boy, 4 days off. Slept terribly so this basically counts as 2.

Squat
265x3x5

Grindy. EDIT: No shit! I just took a 20 pound jump. Doh.

Press
95xsomething

Just played around with it, sets of 1, 2, 3.

Lat Pulldown
120x10
130x10
140x10

Felt lethargic as hell so I went home. I got squats in and that's what really matters. And now that I check my log I definitely was not recovered well today considering how hard 140 was. The good news is that this gym doesn't have machines with movable pulleys. Those always bothered me for some reason. Why add in a pulley that accomplishes (to my mind) nothing other than halving the force you need to apply? Just anchor the damn thing and I can progress longer.

It's bologna sandwich time. I'll contemplate more assistance work while I eat. I'm going to run 2-suns 5/3/1 LP after this but in the meantime? After I hit the main lifts I don't have much desire to continue, it's much easier to just do one hard lift and then lots of isolation work on the supporting muscles. I probably just need to eat and sleep more. Recovery correlates pretty strongly with how fired up I get.

Deadlift
335x5

Went up really easy, 375 in 2 weeks should be cake.

Weight is holding steady at the high 170's. I can't believe how fat I am for this bodyweight though. Whatever.

Bench
150x12x1
155x1
160x1
165x1
170x1
175x1
190x1
195x1

Went well.

Squat
225x1

Warm up sets all felt heavy and something about my form felt off. Almost like I was way too loose in the hole. I'll just start 2-suns for this lift in a few days.

Once again I need to start eating more. I weighed 175 today. That is not okay. That will never be okay.

Holy shit I sucked today. Tried to deadlift and could barely get 365 off the floor. I got greedy to an extent but it still shouldn't have been that hard. I tried to press 100 after and just unracking it felt like there was 315 on the bar. I've never had a drop in performance this bad. I'm pretty drunk though so that could be it. Fuck AA, a workout like that is all the incentive in the world.

Whoops. Surprised I didn't lose weight this past week. Kind of went off the rails with the boozing. Anywhoo, back on the horse.

Starting 2-suns 531.

Squat
225x12

Had at least 15 but no sense killing myself.

Leg Press
90x10
180x10
270x10
320x10
360x10

This workout was basically a sprint. 30 seconds rest between these sets less than a minute after squatting.

Hyperextended on lockout a few times. Knee feels tingly, like I might wake up to some poor ROM tomorrow.
