Scott's TM Log

[Tall Texan]

Squat
425x1
Bench
245x1
Deadlift
455x1

Back was a little sore and I was a little sleepy but everything went up smoothly. I haven't used a belt for deadlifting for a few months and I threw it on today and whatdya know, no discomfort.

[Tall Texan]

Squat
340 - 2x2 (2nd set beltless)
Bench
225 - 2x2
Chins
2xF 7,6

Carbin' up today and setting some new PR's tomorrow

[Tall Texan]

Oh the Gainzes, there's...too many of them

Squat
Old PR - 460 wrapped

465x1 *PR*
475x1 *PR*

Bench
255x1
265x1
280x1

Deadlift
Old PR - 438

495x1
545x1 *PR*



465 was a very close call depth wise but 475 was buried. 3 spots on bench, 3 times the bar was helped up at the top...sigh. At least I kept my butt down. I had no business pulling 545 but somehow it just worked. I had been pulling 450ish for 5 but it just all came together today.

*Edit* Noooooo just realized I miscounted and did 535 not 545.

Squat
370 - 5x5

225 - 4x5

Congrats on the PRs! You made that deadlift look easy too.

[Tall Texan]

Thanks, I just wish I knew how to count. Anyways, new goals are gonna be a 500 raw squat, 550 deadlift and 300 bench for the end of this cycle.

Thursday
Front Squat
2x5 - 250
OHP
3x5 - 135
Chins
4,4,3,2
Back Extensions
3x10 - 25lbs

I dont think my arms are quite flexible enough to front squat properly. My wrists were taking more than their fair share of punishment. Chins were very easy today after going to failure last week at 7 and 6 reps.

Today
Squat
400x5
Bench
245x5
Deadlift
455x5
405x1
315x8 double overhand first 4, hook grip last 4

Slept horribly and not much energy today but the squats weren't too bad. I'll post the vid later but I dont think im bringing the bar low enough on my chest while benching. Deadlifts werent bad at all. The 315 set was stupid easy. I cnocentrated on keeping the bar in contact with my legs throughout.

[Tall Texan]

Squat
5x5 - 375
Bench
5x5 - 230

[Tall Texan]

PC
5x3 - 210
Dips
1x5
3x5 - 30lbs
Preacher Curls
3x10 - 60+bar
C2 Rower
:20/1:20 x 11

Some of the power cleans turned into full cleans. My low back was still a bit fried from yesterday but at least I didnt have my usual debilitating adductor/hamstring soreness. So if I don't beat my distance from last week on the rower, I punish myself by adding another round. So technically I'll be PR'ing every week one way or another! I forgot to mention I shaved 30 seconds off my 500m time, going down to 1:36 on Saturday. I think I had the flywheel at 10 instead of 6 the first time.

[Tall Texan]

Front Squat
255x5
OHP
3x5 - 140
Chin Ups
6,4,2,2

Welp, probably no more front squatting. Had some knee pain after the set which went away. The set was easy so im not sure what the hell I did. OHP was a piece of cake, really enjoying it right now.

[Tall Texan]

Squat
405x5
Bench
250x4,1
Deadlift
465x5
C2 Rower 500m
1:27

Empty stomach, slept wrong and my back was a bit sore, but still managed a decent day minus the benching. I'm seriously lost on what to do now, it's just not going anywhere. May switch it out for pressing for a bit until I can get some help. And i've been enjoying pressing lately.

Knocked 9 seconds off my 500 time. The last 100m was awful though
