notes
skipped chins bc my left bicep tendon is flared up. hoping that giving it this week off plus next week (vacation) will help. squats and bench both felt a little sluggish, probably from a pretty high dose session on monday and also ive been sitting on my ass all morning. offloaded about 5-10% on bench to make it light day bench. will do that with press on light day as well going forward.

10/4
intensity day
squat
365 x 5
went well. not as explosive as id like but full control on every rep and i didnt really have to grind even on the last rep.
press
165 x 5
well, if the video says anything, this should be more like a volume day weight. wayyyy easier than i anticipated. i think i have a lot of untapped room in the press since ive not done a lot of work there like the other movement. so when i hit a volume day 5x5 like i did on monday, the gainz are immediately evident the following friday on intensity day
DL
405 x 5
pecs cramping a bit but overall these moved fast and i was happy to see the 5th rep was somehow the fastest, or at least it looked that way on video. no problem with this load though and i should be able to keep adding 5 lbs for a while, lets hope
notes
im heading out to florida with the family for a vacation on the beach so i wont be training for about 10 days. im not gonna take my protein or creatine either since i dont want to hassle with it so i may lose a few pounds. ill get right back to it when i get back, probably just repeat this weeks weights.
