4_13_19 Saturday well. When I mess up, I REALLY mess up. I didnt have my stuff w/me so, wrong intensity not enough volume. OTOH its a new rep pr for tng bench at 108; my e1rm is 146 there, debated doing another set because I felt like I could. The reality was on squat and bench I was supposed to do 8@7,8,9 then backoffs at -8 and -5. Oops. #OldPeopleProblems

Squat	135x8 @6	145x8 @7	155x8 @8	155x8 @9
TNG Bench	97x8 @6	102x8 @7	108x8 @8	108x8 @8-9ish
Incline Bench	77x15 (amrap)	70x12x3 sets

4_14_19 Sunday I did the right things today, but pendlay row subbed for lever row. Sumo I need a form check, no idea what I'm doing, should my thighs be in my hands way? Everyone in there was benching without touching their chest; one person paused 6" off their chest, then did a bounce and up. I get confused, I'm assuming we touch our chests. Another guy calf raises in the squat rack - I wanted to know is it to make calves bigger or smaller - bigger; so not for me - still only clown socks fit me. P.N.guins with the last change, be interesting. Let's go islanders.

Sumo DL	160x8 @7	175x8 @8	185x8 @9	170x8x2 sets
CGBP	92x8 @7	97x8 @8	105x8 @9	100x8x2 sets
Pendlay Row	105x16 amrap	100x12x3 sets

4_16_19 Tuesday I was home for cable repairs today, so I got the gym earlier than usual and with a fullish stomach. Skipped last set of squat at 170, 175 because stomach pain! ugh. Just as well, legs and low back pretty trashed from weekend. Sumo doesn't like me.
Press went ok.... 2nd rep of 77 was with a reflex, everything else 1.0. I've finally learned, I think, to stop racing reps to beat my valsalva like a doofus - I stopped to breathe and retighten last reps of 77, and it was fine. Don't remember my last floor press, but 85 was like a feather. 100, I could probably have done a little more.

Squat	160x5 @7	165x5 @8
Press	67x5 @7	75x5 @8	77x5 @9ish
CGFloor Press	85x8 @7	95x8 @8	100x8 @9ish

4_18_19 Thursday Wasn't feeling it but things went great. Spotter on bench said it was too easy (it was, prob. should have gone for 108/111/115 based on e1rm - need to trust the programming which seems to be working pretty well!). I think it's a rep PR at 110 for pause bench. Is this me? also chasing a 300 deadlift.... SS needs shirts saying 'yes, you can.'

Deadlift	215x5 @7	222x5 @8	230x5 @9ish
1s Bench	100x5 @7	105x5 @8	110x5 @9
HBBS	125x8 @7	135x8 @7.5	145x8 @8ish

TNG Bench	117x4 @7	120x4 @8 PR	125x4 @9 PR

B13 W2 D4 Gym closed, trying to train at home in the dungeon.
Block pulls 235x3,4,4
Nope. Need a rest day.
I've definitely gotten stronger, but I was shoveling carting dumping 5yds of mulch today. I miss my kids/grandkids. Going back to heavy-ish singles and then 5x5 downsets next week, so its live to lift another day today, hope I don't die Tuesday.

4_23_19 Tuesday
I KNEW this was going to be a switch... wondering what I have to do to squat more (besides, squat more). I wish I could low bar, its so much easier, highbar my back's the limiting factor really. Old People Training is like three steps ahead (yay!) two back (boo!) Think I'm still recovering from the 230x5 DL, all those press 10's, and bench 125x4 ...did one squat downset at 150x5 then (pride swallowed) dropped it a bit because it didn't feel like a 75% lift.
Plus I added cardio back in 2x a week (ewwww), taking some getting used to.

Squat	180x1 @8	150x5	147x5x4s
Press	85x1 @8	70x5x5s
Floor Press	75x8 @6	85x8 @7	95x8x3s @8

4_25_19 Thursday Wore a sports bra from DLs thru bench then had to remove and revert to my MO - tight mens tagless A-tank w/ a looser tank over - terrible headache. That's that, I guess, I tried; whoever has a problem with my boobs, well....its YOUR problem. I am sore and I have a week to chiro but think a rib is out. Other than that things went fine, but lengthy. 4-5 min rests were 3-4 by bench backoffs, was 2-3 min by squats time.
DL - fine.
Bench - fine.
Squats - higher rep squats are like cardio and make me want to name the squat cage "pit of misery". Did these with hardly any rest, needed to leave.
I'm doing a mini cut, cut 40g carb daily and have lost 5# in 2 weeks, probably a little drastic, so will wait a week see how training goes and maybe add more back in.
Date night tonite, its going to be whisky, a big steak, hot tub then the Islanders for me!!! (hockey, I'm up all night).

DL	245x1 @8	205x5x5
1s Bench	125x1 @8	105x5x5
HBBS	95x8 @6	125x8 @7	135x8x3s @8

Why not cut fat instead of carbs?

Rule of thumb: if you mention whisky and steak, you have to name the brand and the cut, respectively, for those of us that live our lives vicariously.

I omitted that I DID cut a lot of fat (I bake for my husband every week - I usually make some kind of breakfast cookie for him, and I make sure he has lunches, and treats, and little minty candies that he likes - so its hard but I'm not partaking); fat doesn't seem to affect my performance one way or the other, while carbs seem do - purely anecdotal.)
My every-day, the very plebian Jack Daniels... and I like filet.
