10 Week Program - Week 5 (7/30/17 - 8/05/17)
Thursday
Press:
195x5x4
Barbell Row:
230x6x3
Bench:
245x5x3
I pressed 195x5 on June 15th but that was just a single top set, so I'm just going to assume I've gotten stronger since then. I filmed the presses and used different angles to see how much layback is going on, etc. I also used wrist wraps for the first time this year, which honestly didn't seem to do much and were more of a distraction than anything. Came up on my toes and lost my balance at the end of the first set. Bar path looks wonky, certainly not a straight vertical line.
Filmed myself doing rows and they looked pretty shitty too. Might try rowing from the pins inside the rack.

Weight Loss Update (Week 16 - 8/4/17)
Weekly Low: 251.2
Moving Average: 253.8 (-0.3)
Waist: 41.00" (-0.25)
Avg Calories: 2617/day (only tracked on 5 of the 7 days this week. One day was probably under 2700, the other was definitely way over)
Total Change since 4/14 (16 weeks):
BW: -25.6lbs
Waist: -4.25"
Hit a new low on Sunday but then indulged in a huge meal+beer at a Mexican restaurant before going to see Dunkirk. Woke up 7lbs heavier on Monday. Weight has settled back down into the 252 area now and my plan is to be very strict in the coming week and hopefully be down by about 2lbs next Friday.

Currently it's 110, 125, 125+. Maybe they changed it?

Lol, plan is to aim for the 110's.

Friday
Deadlift:
550x5 - straps
CGBP:
235x6x3
Squat:
380x5x3
Made my annual attempt at learning hook grip today. It was more successful than the last time I tried it, due in part to chalking the shit out of my hands and making sure to get the thumbnail area as well. Only went up to 405 and it hurt like a motherfucker but didn't slip. I thought my thumbs might rip off if I tried my 495 warmup with it so I stopped there. I may try to stick with it for a while to see if the pain lessens. It would be nice if I could use it for heavy pulls but whether my fingers are long enough for it to be effective at those weights remains to be seen. My middle finger gets past the thumbnail but not by much.

Sunday
Airdyne: 30 min, around 58 rpm
CoC:
T: 20 reps
#1: 80 reps
I basically did four density sets of 20 reps. For example, 8 reps right hand, 8 reps left hand, 5R, 5L, 3R, 3L, 4R, 4L with no rest between sides. Seems like a good way to get a bunch of volume in.

Monday
Bench:
275x4 (PR)
275x3,3,3 - failed on the fourth rep for each of these sets
Weighted Chins:
42.5x5x3
Press:
195x4x3
Well, I got a bench PR but failed to hit the 4 sets across as scheduled. After the way 260x5 felt last week I wasn't sure I would even get one set so it's something anyway. 7.5lb PR for 4 reps and small e1RM PR too. Rested 8 min after the first set, then went up to 9 but it didn't help.
Noticed my arms weren't fully locked out in a dead-hang position on my first set of chins so I tried to do that on my second set. Didn't actually seem to make it much harder but it did hurt my elbows more... :/
Tried using straps on my last set of weighted chins and I liked it. Taking the grip out of the equation made it feel more solid and let me focus on just pulling the weight with my back. It was awkward actually strapping on to the bar in the chin grip position but it felt good enough that I'll probably keep doing it for my weighted chins.
