    Press Cycle #3 - 5's
    eb 3x10, 55lb x5, 70lbs x5, 80lbs x3
    95lbs x5
    110lbs x5
    125lbs x6 +4 reps every 30 seconds there after
    Did the best I could on the AMRAP, but the damn bar wouldn't budge for a seventh rep in sequence. I waited 30 seconds and did singles every 30 seconds until I couldn't.

    80lbs 5x10
    Sets every two minutes.

    Got called out to play a few sets of Paddle which took about a half hour. Came back and finished the session.

    Barbell Rows -
    135lbs x5, 165lbs x5, 185lbs x5, 195lbs 5x5

    I don't know how to judge today's work. Six reps was disappointing but the additional singles on short rest was good work.

    245lbs x10
    Pretty good AMRAP, screwed up the initial sequencing though.

    Sets every three minutes.

    Bench Cycle #3 - 3's

    Grrrr, just stuck in a rut here.

    No time for the BBB sets as I had to play a Paddle match - where we got abso - fuckin - lutely crushed 6-1. 6-2, 6-0.

    Deads on Thursday and Press on Friday and I'm back on schedule.

    Good AMRAP, the bar came off the floor quickly, very happy about that.

    260lbs 5x10
    3 minutes rest between sets. Had to go to alternate grip for the last two sets, I was beat.

    That's that, I'm back on schedule.

    Poor AMRAP, but I did three singles on 30 seconds rest after the original three was racked. Anything to try and drive some progress.

    I have no words to explain this. Even after a few scotches and other potent potables, I cannot explain what happened here. I, I, I...aw fuck it, shit happens.

    No BBB as I has to play a Squash match. At least we won that - YAY US.

    What a disappointing way to roll into Christmas. Off until Sunday, as the gym is closed till then.

    Merry, merry to those who observe!

    All done. Got behind with the holiday and the gym being closed through Sunday past. I'll get the Squat 1's in and fart around with a semi de-load through the New Year.

    Your last cycle has been pretty amazing for all the volume you're getting in. Great work, Bd! Have a terrific New Year!
