    all reps moved fast, but god damn i was huffing and puffing. might had somnething to do with consuming 1600 cal bfast with a buddy of mine an hour prior at dougs day diner. i actually almost did shit my pants on the last set. hardest part of the week over. i will bump these volume sets up 10 pounds for the next 3 week cycle.

    notes: bench singles were easy, im ready for 315 next cycle. press super easy too, i will be goin up 10 pounds on the volume sets next cycle. left arm tendon is bothering me at the elbow joint on the bicep side. i might try doing inverted rows instead of chins.

    singles are fun. all 6 singles i hit today were fast and im happy with them, as i should be since its the first cycle. this will get harder, and that will be the test as to whether or not i will get stronger. i havent got stronger since 2018 which was my 2nd year barbell training. i think the reason is apprehension once the weights get to a certain point. my wife is the one who enlightened me on that revelation. she told me at the strongman whe nshe was watching mitch hooper squat 800x10 that i dont push it as hard as he does. yeah no shit i said, no one does. but it got me thinking that she is right, everything being relative, those guys have an incredible tolerance, both physically and mentally to push it hard and not give up. i need just a fraction of that.

    SS Squat Camp, Denver Starting Strength Gym


    squat
    315 x 5 x 3


    notes
    I went down to dirty Denver to attend the squat seminar led by SSC Nessland. He gave me some good pointers on techinque and programming. He mentioned trying to progress on my loads every other week instead of every 3 weeks like I currently have planned. He mentioned doing and every other week setup like:

    week 1, day 1: squat x1, -15%x3x3, DL 3x3
    week 1 day 2: squat 3x5

    week 2 day 1: DL x1, -15%x3x3, squat 3x3
    week 2 day 2: squat 3x5

    not sure if i want to abandon my current 4 day U/L setup, but I wanted to record his ideas so I could come back to it in the future if needed.

    I may end up doing 3x5 for my volume squat day this coming week since i did this extra work today

    all pretty easy. i was lethargic today though. sometimes that happens on mondays/day 1's. i ate about 2 pounds of chicken biryani last night. ive found a way to keep my 4 day TM and increase the loads every 2 weeks instead of 3.
