    Worked all day in the yard yesterday and didn’t train. Wasn’t sure how I would feel today. Still eating ok, but not great. I’m getting protein shakes a couple times a day.

    Bench Press
    240 x 5 x 4
    240 x 4, +1

    Missed the last rep of the last work set. Would have made it with a couple extra minutes rest prior to starting the set.

    A hard freaking day. I can tell I need more protein in my diet. Some days I will pace around my basement between sets. Some days I will sit on my bench and rest. Today I laid on the ground for 8 minutes between set two and set three.

    BUT these are milestone numbers for me and I know what I need to do to between now and when I load up four plates.

    Haven’t deadlifted in a long time. Just warmed up and went for a heavy single.

    Just a couple of lighter sets with the TUBOW today to try and fix my dive bombing, knee sliding squats. It makes the walkout kind of goofy so I will probably use it for my warmups and do without on worksets above 315.

    Struggled today. Appetite is not great due to a medication I’m taking. Also thinking a ton during my reps (hips, knees, not dive bombing)

    Squat
    405 x 3 - tied a PR
    405 x 2
    375 x 4
    375 x 3

    Ran out of time.
