    Heavy volume squats
    340x4x5

    Romanian deadlifts
    385x4x3

    “Sprints”
    800mx2

    Chin ladder

    Check check...done

    This little cycle I’m doing is so simple yet so effective and really gives me a stress relief from a very stressful job

    I’m hoping after he intensity phase I can improve all my lifts by 5-10%ish by the end

    Would rathe hoop and baseball but if this is all y’all going to give me I’m going to kill it

    Power cleans
    155x3x5

    Bench volume heavy
    245x3x5
    Press
    155x3x4

    Chin ups
    53.75x7
    43.75x7

    Tricep extensions

    Training is becoming monotonous and I’m not sure how good the programming is working for upper body and I won’t find out for another month when intense phase is over

    However that is part of training experimenting and finding what works hopefully at least I add some and don’t regress

    I'm not sure how I missed your log, but I'm definitely following it now. I've been a mailman for 13 1/2 years. You have my empathy and respect.
