    Bench - 287.5 x 3, 265 x 5 x 5
    CGBP - 225 x 10, 10
    Standing tricep xt - 80 x 10 x 3

    Well, my bench has stalled. Got 3 reps along with some shoulder pain. I'll keep plugging along with triples and try to run it out.

    DL w/belt + straps - 470 x 8 (video)
    DL w/belt and straps (paused on second rep mid shin) - 405 x 2 x 4
    Pullups - BW x 12 x 3


    My presses suck and my squats are meh, but at least the deadlift keeps paying dividends.

    SSB squat w/3" belt - 385 x 5 x 3
    Press w/3" belt - 180 x 3 x 3, 145 x 5 x 3

    Squats were challenging but ok. I've never done 385 on SSB for sets across before.
    Presses were heavy (again).

    2/6/25

    RDL w/3" belt and straps - wide grip (not snatch grip) - 360 x 8 x 4
    BW rows - narrow grip - 22, 15, 14, 13

    Tried one set of BW rows with a wider grip - shoulder felt better than before, but still some pain, so I will continue with narrow grip.
    RDLs are just getting tough. I may switch to conventional grip RDLs to continue this progression instead of wide grip.

    Very tired of late. My sleep has been atrocious - I get 4-5 hrs, spending a few hours just trying to get back to sleep when I reliably wake up at 1-2 am.
    Gotta figure this out - I'm kind of a wreck.

    You're right - I shouldn't complain. But it's one of my vices that I refuse to give up!

    2/7/25

    Bench - 275 x 2 x 7
    CGBP - 225 x 10, 10

    I think I'll try doubles on my presses for the next few weeks. Andy Baker mentioned that he thought heavy doubles (about 85% 1RM) were good ways to keep things moving. I'll give it a try.

    2/9/25

    LBBS w/4" belt- 410 x 5, 370 x 5 x 4
    Press w/4" belt - work up to 205 x 1, 180 x 3 x 5
    Bench - 260 x 3 x 5

    I think one or two of my reps on my top squat set was a tad high, but overall a good, hard Sunday morning workout.

    Deadlift + 4" belt + straps - 475 x 6 (video), 435 x 2 x 5
    Pullups - BW + 15 x 8 x 4

    Good workout. 8 rep sets on deadlifts were bound to stop as the weight progressed. Pretty happy with things.
    Note: First time I've used my 35lb bumper plates in a long time. They even had dust on them!
