Cole's HLM/TM

7/15
heavy day


squat - 305 x 5 x 5

bench - 240 x 5 x 5

DL - 355 x 5


notes: DL is hard after 5x5 squats. low back keeps feeling weak and vulnerable from the floor. its in my head now. gotta work on some mental drills and thoughts to avoid the negative feedback. all in all this was a good session and i got it done before the heat. also, went up to the mountains for the weekend and my eating/sleeping schedule was all messed up, and i still did ok today which is good to see.

chins


notes: easy day of course. low back feeling good. work busy as hell while kids are at home. i wish they were a little older but i also know it goes by fast and dont want to rush it.

[Bill Anders]

Definitely do not rush it. It's gone before you know it, even though it doesn't feel like that at the time.

Blink twice and they will be having kids of their own. So enjoy it now. And enjoy it when they do.

[Cole Gorton]

Very true, Bill

medium


squat - 275 x 5 x 3

cg bench - 215 x 5 x 3

SLDL - 285 x 5 x 3


notes: low back feels 100% best its felt in months. not sure why but please let it be this way for a long stretch. i feel like i could pull a max effort attempt today. anyways, good week of HLM and on to the weekend where i will just relax a bit with the family. bodyweight has been staying around 225 and waist just below 40. i have been eating very clean, cut out most fast food and all soda. eating lots of eggs, fish, chicken and rice.
