    I work out briefly in lunch and had lunch meetings the last few days.

    10Sept14 weighing 187 today
    Press: 185x1,2,3,2,2,2
    DB bench: 75x8, 100x10,8
    Press: 145x5>135x3>95x6>65x10 rest-pause drop-set
    Dips: x15

    Very little rest anywhere. Not feeling it today. Need food.

    15Sept14 - weighing 188 today
    Deadlift: 475x5
    Pull-ups: +80x5x5

    16Sept14
    Ez bar curls: 65x10,10,10, 95x10,10,10,10
    Push-ups: 8,8,8,25x5
    triceps push-downs and db hammer curls

    Now that I'm not sloppy chubby, I figure why not hit some isolation work. I plan to add a few days of the stuff I otherwise won't do: biceps, calves, abs, etc. This should allow me to just hit my one or two primary movements without distraction on other days and hopefully get a little protein synthesis going on the days between when I pump it up. Whatever happens, it was a fun day.

    Safety bar squats: 265x10, 350x5, 265x5

    First time squatting in three months. Felt like garbage. Everything was a grinder. I'm going to 8-10 sets of 2-3 reps for a few weeks; focusing on crushing every rep.

    19Sept14 - weighed 185 this morning
    Press: 185x3,3,3,2,1,1
    DB bench: 110s x8, 80s x12

    Very little rest. 12 minutes from the first to the last press rep. 30 minutes total in-and-out. 22 minutes of "working" time.

    22Sept14 - 185 bodyweight.
    Sumo: 495x5
    Pull-ups: 1,2,3,4,5,5, +25x5, +50x5,8,8,8

    40 minutes total, in-and-out. Deadlift was touch-and-go with straps. I wasn't feeling particularly motivated today and strayed from my plan, but it paid off

    I've also layered in an additional 800 kcal. I plan to hold 185 for a while, see if I can get stronger and a little leaner here before climbing more slowly back to 200+ this winter.

    30 minutes total:
    Squat: 135x5,5,5,225x5, 315x2, 325x2, 335x2, 315x3, 275x3,3, 225x5,3

    I haven't been able to low bar for years on account of my shoulders. Played with a new grip and it turned out ok. Hopefully that holds up.

    Took much more rest today and it paid off on the press. Closing in on bodyweight x5x5!

    Team Crossfit workout with my wife. I did 20 pull-ups, 20 thrusters, rest, 20 toes-to-bar and a few snatches before having to stop to go meditate on not puking. Note to self: After 3 years of no Croddfit and little conditioning, DO NOT jump in like you never left.

    06Oct14
    Deadlift: (455x3)x5
    alternating
    Pull-ups: (+25x5)x10

    50 minutes. Touch and go after two sets. Exhausting. Very little rest.

    09Oct14
    Squat 315, max reps in 2 minutes: 10 (5,2,1,2)
    High bar 225x10,5

    Low back still very tight and fatigued.

    starting strength coach development program
    10Oct14 (weighing 188)
    Press: 45x10,10, 95x5,5, 135x5, 165x3, 185x4,3,1,1,1,1,1,1,1, 135x9,6
    incline machine press
    curls

    I had no energy today, it's a miracle that I got close to 2 sets of 4. Definitely a -10% day so I tried (and failed) to simply match the volume from the last workout. Singles were OTM. The machine incline press is the only thing I've used in a while to pump my chest up. I think I'll give it some love in the future.
