BENCH 106#/4, 3, 2 wth???
It is what it is. Back to the office: computer's a mess, so are jobs, so is the network - need to fix. Irma to Fla (kids/grandkids). Family member still critical in ICU. I guess it could be stress. ??

CYCLE 11, WEEK 1, DAY 4 9_7_17 Thursday. Globo.
Its apparent that the bone in my low back that moves, its shifted out. Hurts like hell. That could have been the trouble with other lifts...
Also, I left my fractional weights at home, FML. Deadlift day is the hardest one for me, seems like treading water lately.

SQUAT Light 150#/3 (5)
HEAVY DEADLIFT 210#/5 (3) - did 205# last cycle, I think.
RDL 145#/6 (2)
SHRUG 145#/10 (2)

CYCLE 11, WEEK 2, DAY 1 9_9_17 Saturday
my hurt back seems 95% cured after squats/deadlifts 2 days ago.
still stress; still irma still icu. storm's moved west (my kids/grandkids are on the east fla coast) but its little consolation, being so far away. Hoping for the best for all.

HEAVY OHP 82#/3 (3) pr for triples!
CGBP 102#/5, 5, 4 wth? this is accessory work, almost 20% off my 1RM, i don't understand why its so hard.
Triceps
LTE 40#/12, 40#/8+35#/5
Cable Pressdowns 50#/10 (3)

Personally, I've found intense stress wreaks havoc with progressing as it effects everything from sleep to focus to energy, etc. You just give whatever you have to give that day and that has to be good enough. Crappy workout >>> not working out.

very true I guess; right now its keeping me sane. Lost my BIL at 53 (afib) in June, now his wife. So young. Makes no fucking sense.

CYCLE 11, WEEK 2, DAY 2 9_12_17 Tuesday
HEAVY SQUAT TRIPLES Pure shitshow. Did 180 last cycle.

185#/2 IDK if I ever repped this before. So I guess its an improvement.
183#/2
181#F
177# slowest squat w/a dead stop halfway up for about 25 seconds, then I fucking finished it. Canned!
Power Clean
88#/2 (2), 93#/2 (2), 98#/2, 108#/2, 115#/2, 120#, 125#
Pullups
I give up on gravitron. Did 1 pullup, set at 11, did a set of 5 and 5 w/one foot.
Lat Pulldowns w/curvy bar for more ROM 80#/10 (2)

CYCLE 11, WEEK 2, DAY 2 9_14_17 Thursday
Sleep: 3 hours.

OHP Light 71#/3 (5) relatively easy.
HEAVY BENCH TRIPLES Following along with the priceless app for grip & eyes; This week theres blinding new gym lighting - no pennies showed up in the glare.
113#/2 (never doubled before - yin. Failed the third rep - yang)
113# (2nd rep got stuck 3/4 of way up, 15 sec of static hold. Lowered, pushed to lap, left light 95# on to rerack - yin. Bar dragged my tanktop exposing my bra, really embarrassing - yang)
113# ditto (a gym mate insisted on helping told me ask him for a spot, said I work hard - Im beginning to think perhaps they're rooting for me - I guess its hard not to see the only old lady in there, tolerance - yin; repeating this weight next cycle, yang)
Did 112# for easy triples last cycle. ?
Incline Bench 65#/10 (2)

Well. I don't recommend Septic shock/serum lactate >11. Nasty nasty nasty. Heartbreaking. THIS is why I train, one of the reasons. So I won't go down, so I can help others up.
