First time lifting in the morning shortly after waking. 12 oz choc milk, apple, c4 preworkout and creatine in me.
Squat
3x5x220-eyes gonna pop. 4, 4.5, 5 minutes rest. Reps 4 and 5 grindy. Right bicep aggravated.
Press-man squatting just wrecks me. Hard to recover enough to press. 2, 3 minutes between sets.
95x2
105x2
115x1-tied lifetime PR. Especially for only weighing 200. Last time I hit this I was heading toward 220. Also blacked out when I hit lockout and barely made the j hook. Didn't hit the floor. Well then. First time for everything.
Weighted Chins- 4 minutes rest
+5x5,5,4,1
Nutrition was fantastic all weekend.
I travel to VA tomorrow for a family vacation. Aiming to train on Friday at a crossfit box in norfolk. Going to attempt to not lose any weight.
I am not trying to pack weight on quickly. Just a very slow lean amount of muscle as I go. My recovery and sleep schedule will not let me add it quickly, I'll just get fat. Been there done that twice.
-
Good work, man. Taking it slow and steady seems to fit your life circumstance quite well.
First time I ever hit a partial blackout was also on press, during a morning when I trained shortly after waking. Weird feel, right?
-
Thanks man! Yeah slow and steady is all I can manage. Can't be greedy.
And yeah very weird feeling!! Good way to sprain a wrist.
Difference from lifting and eating cleaner is becoming more visible. I look better at 200 than 190.
Nutrition with traveling has been terrible all week though. I hammered chinese late last night to try to get ready for today.
9/18
Training at BURNfit crossfit in suffolk, va today. I also have a cold hitting. Tomorrow will be the worst day it feels like. C4 and DayQuil preworkout.
No collars. No racks only stands so no safety pins. $10 ain't bad though.
No pins makes it very enticing to rack it on rep 4 or get it on rep 5.
Squat-first time ever using an Ohio power bar and oh man do I love the center knurl and the stability it gives.
3x5x225-happy day 2PPS
4, 4, 5 minutes rest
Deadlift
5x295-this came pretty easy. Belt and chalk.
Press-skipped the change plates as they are in a room with a class. 3-3.5 minutes between sets
95x3, 2+1, 3
I lost it forward after lockout on the 2nd rep of set 2. Went to rack it and a plate slid off. Stupid no collars. At least they are bumpers. Immediately unracked and hit another rep.
Chins
5, 5
Pushups
10 (I did a set of 15 and a set of 10 yesterday)
-
Training de railed due to work and sickness. This is a way to work out some of that soreness that would hammer me if I went straight back into it.
Bought a 12 pound 5 foot bar for when I have to lift at home.
10/3 back to it
Chins
4 sets of 5
Press
62x8, 82x6, 92x5, 102x2, 92x4

Sickness appears to be an ulcer. Thinking duodenum. Full course of proton pump inhibitors and a mild diet to try to get it in check. Have not been my productive self. A lunch of a nice cheeseburger and a piece of pie put me into a full day in bed yesterday.
-
Still working through the possible ulcer but I have taken care to eat more carefully this week along with meds and I'm improving.
