pullups?

Basically My wife comes in after I squat and warms up while I press- then I train her squats while I pull- when she presses I dork around trying to keep busy- hence- odd db work. Its kind of throwing my workout- but so enjoyable to see her sticking with it and yelling her last rep in a room full of office guys doing curls.

SQ 285 3x5 275 1x5
Press 115 5x5
Pull ups 6,5,4,3,3
Pull downs 120 3x5
cleans 155 1x3, 160 1, then fail.

Squats were hard and I was losing depth so I did a back off set to get it right.
Got vibed on the cleans- the bar, the amount of space, I dont know- I just put it aside- then couldnt find a place to pull ups so I dorked around with hammer style then did some pull downs- nice feeling, but,,,

I have a hard time even a day after a club show. maybe its over drinking etc- but spine can't take all the jumping I do with my horn and hollering. Its like I need two days of recovery from a 3 hour set.
gone are the days when I could jump off the stage with a Tuba run at the crowd and rock the joint from the bottom up. I play better- more right notes, and can still bring the show, but I miss that level of physicality to shows-then to have it creep into workouts. fuck.

Deadlift- 295 1x5
DB press 80(x2) 3x5
Pull downs 140 3x5

Back up to the weight I should be on Squat- little deload helped with depth- Im holding my weight back until its easy as my deads are neck in neck and I figure Im cheating depth. Deads came up easy. I dont know how to program RDLS but Im adding them- every time I fuck my back on Deadlifts its on the way down- so Im excited to find a movement that will help my back keep in extension when the loads increase.
Pull downs- I dont know- I threw them in as a vacation what the fuck play around kind of thing- but between the RDL and the pull downs I think my lats may be a limiter- so I might add them in. they are easy enough to do after Im worn out. looking for more productive pulls to help with DL.

Squats getting heavy- will hold weight for next time as some were at parallel- but certainly not below. Press was just right to slightly light. RDLs- no clue, to what Im doing or how to do it- going to go back to sets of 5 I think- dont know.

I was only going to do 300 on Deads- but the guy before me doing bouncing deadlifts with 5 second spinal flexion pauses for emphasis, totally tried to vibe me from working in at the only squat rack, He intimated he wasnt sure if I could work with the weight he was using (225) as a means of saying 'get lost'. I didnt smart off but after my surprise I decided I had enough of pussiness- in myself as well as others. so 3 nickels seemed a logical choice- Im now past my last injury weight and on my way to 405. I dont want much out of weight lifting- but 1.5 squat and 2xbody weight deadlift is my standard Id like to carry till Im 80 or 90 if I can.
Lucky for me- was a great workout, and anger turned to love of lifting and people. I got some sympathy from a bystander who saw what happened- and he came over and we had a good time laughing at mr lanky vibram 5 finger lawyer.. additionally, I was able to help a hefty girl with pull ups- turns out she is competing with her girlfren in a beginners pullup contest. wonderful chat we had. Felt like a fucking Disney movie by the time it was over with. headed for the pool. having a steak. and it is good to be alive at 44 yrs 200lbs, poor and jamming every day. Cancer stay away from me- pussy come here.

Deads awakened my injury-had the same lumbar/multifida pain that marked the last days of my recovery fromm last. Time-that's why I didn't complete sq portion. Today was fine.stay a 295 for form next time.
didnt check the log and mis remembered press weight- felt real easy on set 3 then had my DOH moment. Going with 135 next time just to see. RDLS felt good- major ramp up to find 185. start with 195 next time.

PPress 155 3x5
chins 7,5,4,

Keep 295 for one more session- the weight is fine. but I was hungry and didnt eat right last night. unable to add stuff in. tonights gym is small and crowded. felt self concious doing cleans- but going to give DL a little rest and hit cleans on fri or sat. Will Deadlift Monday. For Monday- easy squat improving depth. Test Press. cleans. the uptown gym is tight - but 3 of us in a row working barbells in different workouts was fun. much respect all the way around- really dug the vibe.
