    Bench crew at the gym (minus Connor today)
    worked up to 315 and:
    5 sets of doubles. I tried a triple on the first set and missed so I just rode out the doubles. Bummed I missed a triple, glad I was able to keep going with doubles.

    135 x 3 sets of 10 and the last set actually got rough.

    Forgot to log back Monday:
    Neutral grip pull downs kept reps around 12 several sets
    Neutral grip cable rows same with the reps but went pretty heavy with a BIG stretch on every set
    Few sets of barbell curls and a few sets of alt db curls

    Tuesday - hour on the treadmill 55 minutes in zone 2 and then 5 minutes at 5.0 mph

    Thursday - rev pec dec, shrugs, hammer curls and barbell curls

    Friday - hour on the treadmill 55 minutes at 5.0 incline and 3.0 speed then 5 minutes flat at 5.1 mph

    Saturday - went in with Sarah so I just did 60 minute on the treadmill at 1.0 incline and 3.0 mph. At some point later today either home or gym I hope to get in some squats and deadlifts, playing that by ear, no plan today.

    Yup, got back to the gym this afternoon for squats and deads:

    Squats
    warm ups
    bar x 5
    95 x 5
    135 x 5
    185 x 5
    225 x 3
    275 x 3
    315 x 1
    365 x 1
    405 x 1
    225 x 5

    Deads
    135 x 5
    225 x 5
    315 x 5
    315 x 20

    And that was it. Good day. Pretty happy with the 405 single and the 20 rep deadlift. Squat was deep and the deads all looked the same (which you can see on my IG or FB if you care to look). Wait, lets try this...

    starting strength coach development program
    So I tried to bench today and 280 for 8 sets of 4 was the goal...
    barely made 2 sets.
    Cardio yesterday?
    Connor being home sick again?
    Too old for these kinds of routines?
    I don't know.
    But it is what it is.
    Hopefully some squat/deadlift type things tomorrow...
