Week Four

Squat Monday
Single at 350lbs, down sets at 255lbs 6*3. Back and Shoulders for successories,
Just a titch short of full depth, but it felt good, and it's the most I've Squatted in years. Yay me !!!

Bench Wednesday
Close Grip set at 175lbs *6, Five ingles at 200lbs, Dumbbell Bench at 70lbs 7*4. Tri's for successories.
The set of six flew, the singles were disappointingly sticky.

Snappy BWP. Deads felt strong too.

Nice end to the cycle.

Best week of work since 2019. Seems like each week is getting better, and my body is holding up under the work without going kablooey on me.

The weather sucks ... snow I can handle, grey skies I'll put up with, wind I'll grumble about ... but ICE STORMS ... fuq that shit !!!

New cycle coming up

Week One

Squat Monday
265lbs for a triple, 235lbs 4*3. Back, Hammies, and Chest for successories
A little tired doing back to back Squat sessions

And then BOOM BITCH ... I've got the plague again. This time it crushed me.
Came down with it Monday night and it didn't let up until Friday.
The muscle ache was unbelievably bad, and it wasn't massageable. Add to that, that it moved all over the body ... even my scalp hurt for four days straight.

SBD Saturday
Tempo Down SSB 185lbs 4*4; 2 Board / 5 Count Bench 125lbs 5*4; Trap Bar Jumps 43kg 6*4; Pendlay Rows 90kg 3*4; Press 50kg 2*4

Thankfully everything was "light". At least I was able to get out the house and get into the gym.

What with the weather being shit, this plague ... this was the longest week of my winter.

Winter ... BE GONE!!!
