    Did this session at Genesis Gym in Trenton, GA. Low back pain, quad/IT band pain and being at an altitude that was twice that of where I lived put a damper on this session.

    Squat
    45x2x5
    130x1x5
    190x1x3
    245x1x2
    290x1x1

    Dips
    BWx1x2
    27.5x1x2
    52.5x3x(1-2-1)

    Chin Ups
    BWx2x2
    BWx3x(10-8-8)

    Getting back into my everyday groove, training in the evening, and not having low back pain makes for a better session.

    Press
    45x2x5
    70x1x5
    100x1x3
    130x1x2
    155x3x2

    Better than last week but still time to deload and keep lifting.

    Deadlift
    135x2x5
    170x1x5
    245x1x3
    320x1x2
    375x1x5

    Did my usual routine of belting up when the weight is above 225lb. First three reps were on the fast side going up.

    Left my bottle of Gatorade at work. I had drunk a tall cup of coffee and felt adequately hydrated, so did my session without sipping anything.

    Bench Press

    The squat rack I use was occupied so I benched first.

    45x2x5
    95x1x5
    130x1x3
    172.5x1x2
    202.5x3x(4-5-5)

    I hesitated on the first set as I wasn't benching in a rack and had had to help do chest compressions on a code at my hospital earlier.

    Squat
    45x2x5
    130x1x5
    190x1x3
    245x1x2
    290x3x5

    Widened my stance a bit as I had watched Austin Baraki doing pin squats earlier. Warm ups definitely felt easier than expected. The first one to two reps of each work set felt almost too easy, then they quickly became taxing. At one point I felt that my stance was a tad too wide. Haven't squatted for sets of five since July and my quads felt it.

    Friday, 10/25/19

    Press
    45x2x5
    62.5x1x5
    90x1x3
    120x1x2
    140x3x5

    Got into the groove of it on the second work set; it was the easiest one with the third set in a close second.

    Deadlift
    135x2x5
    172.5x1x5
    250x1x3
    327.5x1x2
    385x1x3

    The bar felt unbalanced on the last set; apparently the plates/collar weren't firmly enough in place.

    My last training session as a 38 year old.

    Squat
    45x2x5
    130x1x5
    190x1x3
    250x1x2

    I'm squatting again on Tuesday instead of my usual two day rest (and likely earlier in the day than usual) so I just did my warm up sets and skipped the one set of 3 reps with 295lb.

    Dips
    BWx1x2
    27.5x1x2
    52.5x3x6

    Chin Ups

    Turned 39 today. Did this session earlier in the day as I was being taken out to eat later.

    Squat
    45x2x5
    132.5x1x5
    190x1x3
    250x1x2
    295x3x5

    As I was warming up one of the guys running my gym came over and asked me about my form and squatting style. Turns out he had hurt his back a few years working in a mine and lately had been only squatting with 135lb. A few minutes after talking to me he did such a set; doing half squats at best and with a Manta Ray pad on the bar. He had talked about trying to up the weight some but I might have scared his on my last two sets. Had a few grinders at the end, but I did my fives.

    Bench Press
    45x2x5
    92.5x1x5
    132.5x1x3
    175x1x2
    205x3x(4-5-4)

    Decided to go for five on the second set as I was feeling froggy, barely made it.

    Dressed up as Senator Armstrong ("Nano machines, son!") from Metal Gear for Halloween at work today.

    Press
    45x2x5
    65x1x5
    92.5x1x3
    120x1x2
    142.5x3x5

    Still on the easyish side.

    Deadlift
    135x2x5
    172.5x1x5
    250x1x3
    327.5x1x2
    385x1x5

    Summoned the Senator and did the final set shirtless. Happy Halloween, everyone!

    Squat
    45x2x5
    135x1x5
    195x1x3
    255x1x2
    300x1x1

    I had run a 10 mile race this morning (did it in under 90 minutes which was my goal) and wasn't sure if I wanted to do the last set. Felt froggy enough to try, even though I stopped after one rep. Watch Delgado's video on the bar position and did the cue where you start low and back into the bar until it reaches the scapula.

    Dips

    Squat
    45x2x5
    135x1x5
    195x1x3
    255x1x2
    300x3x3

    Decided to start going for sets of threes; the last session was quite tough and I was happy with being able to do fives with 10lb more on the bar than during my last five rep phase. Definitely didn't skimp on depth much; I managed to hit the safety pins a few times on the descent.

    Bench Press
    45x2x5
    92.5x1x5
    135x1x3
    175x1x2
    207.5x3x3

    Bench pressed in the same power rack I squatted in. Doing dedicated sets of threes with these as well.

    Press
    45x2x5
    65x1x5
    95x1x3
    122.5x1x2
    145x3x(3-4-4)

    The bar felt awkward on the first work set; my power bar has a tad bit of bend and I was likely holding it with the bend at a bad angle.

    Deadlift
    135x2x5
    177.5x1x5
    255x1x3
    335x1x2
    395x1x5

    Felt tougher than the review footage would suggest; my bar speed was fairly impressive on the first three reps.

    Squat
    45x2x5
    137.5x1x5

    Dips
    BWx1x2
    30x1x2
    57.5x3x(6-0-6)

    Ended up using liquid hand sanitizer before my second work set.

    Chin Ups
    BWx1x2
    25x1x2
    47.5x3x4

    Reset time.

    The bar stayed put for me this time around. Will be upping DLs by 5lb starting next session.
