Light Day
SSB - beltless, paused - 315 x 4 x 2
Press - beltless - 160 x 4 x 4
Rows - w/belt and straps - 240 x 8 x 4
CGBP - ascending sets of 5 - 135, 185, 225, 235, 245, 255 (PR set of 5)
I've taken videos of some of these sets. I found that I think I need to more fully extend my reps on CGBP, but other than that they seem OK, I guess.
I'll share them so you can have some laughs:

Did presses today, as tomorrow will be a well-deserved REST and RECOVERY day....
Yesterday
Pullups - BW x 8 x 6 = 48 reps
25 minute walk
Today
SSB w/belt - 420 x 1, 1, 1, 1, Backoff - 335 x5
Bench - 280 x 2 x 3, Backoff - 225 x 8
DL w/belt - 455 x 2 x 3
Damn. Everything was very hard. Wanted doubles on squat, but it wasn't gonna happen today.
I think I'm backsliding on squat and bench. I may make some progress on press. We'll see...
Some light stuff today:
Pullups - BW x 10 x 4
Cardio - Treadmill - 1.53 miles at 3.7 mph @ 5.5 deg.
More heavy stuff today. Feature heavy lift: Press
SSB squat (beltless) - 335 x 2 x 2
Press w/belt - 190 x 2 x 4 (last rep was an epic grind, but I got it!)
Rows w/belt and straps - 260 x 6 x 4
CGBP - ascending sets of 5 - 135, 185, 215, 235
I was truly surprised that I got all 4 doubles on press today. They weren't easy, but they went up. Esp surprised on my 3rd set - first rep was way out in front of me and had to use a lot of strength to finish the rep. Thought I wouldn't get 2 after that, but I attempted it anyway - and it went.
Other than the press, however, everything felt heavy, hard, and slow. I think this is a bit of a hangover from heavy squats and deadlifts on Monday. Hopefully, I'll have something left in the tank for Friday.
Cardio
Treadmill - 4 degrees, 4.0 mph, 30 minutes
- Every 5 minutes, pause treadmill and do 5 pullups
More heavy stuff today
SSB squat w/belt - 380 x 2 x 3
Bench - 310 x 2 x 4
DL - 500 x 2, 440 x 3 x 3
I honestly was not expecting to get the 4 doubles out of my bench today. Things seem to have been going in the wrong direction on that lift.
Going into the workout, I was just hoping to get the first double - but I got all 4. The last double was an epic grind where the last rep seemed to take 1 minute to put up. I'll take it...
Deadlifts felt pretty snappy. No problem making the 500 double, but 3 was probably not possible. This was the first time I've done 500lb deadlifts for reps since I was fatter and was able to get 505 for a triple a few years ago.
Overall, good day...
