On vacation in Savannah, GA. Doing my sessions at Fitness On Broughten this week. Nice facility but on the small side (only two squat racks and one is a Smith).

Bench Press
45x2x5
90x1x5
135x1x3
175x1x2
212.5x3x5

The squat rack was in a woman who was using pretty light weights; the bench was available and didn't want to mess with switching several plates at a time to work in with her. The bench setup fit me pretty well I must say.

Squat
45x2x5
135x1x5
200x1x3
250x1x2
275x1x1
300x3x5

The squat rack isn't the type I normally use but I quickly came to like it. Squatted in my Chucks as I didn't want to bother with packing my squat shoes. The good food I've had must have done me some good as most sets felt surprisingly easy (especially the warmups). A few tough reps toward the end but I'm pretty sure I was squatting to depth and then some.

Haven't been able to get my usual amount of protein in; it may be starting to take its toll.

Press
45x2x5
75x1x5
105x1x3
130x1x2
152.5x3x3

The bar I used had a small but noticeable bend to it which didn't help.

Deadlift
135x2x5
225x1x5
290x1x3
340x1x2
390x1x0

Most of my warm up sets felt on the tough side. The bar didn't want to move on the final set.

Last training session while on vacation.

Squat
45x2x5
135x1x5
205x1x3
255x1x2
280x1x1
305x1x3

Had some lower back DOMS so these weren't the funnest to do today.

Bench Press
45x2x5
90x1x5
135x1x3
175x1x2
215x1x3

Chin Ups
BWx1x2
12.5x1x2
25x3x5

On the tough side; not surprised as I likely put on a few extra lbs of weight from the food I've been eating.

45x2x5
135x1x5
205x1x3
255x1x2
280x1x1
305x3x(5-5-4)

Had some noticeable lower back pain that undoubtedly contributed to me missing the last rep. Going to take a few Aleve after posting this.

Bench Press
45x2x5
90x1x5
135x1x3
175x1x2
215x3x5

Thursday, 9/28/17

Press
45x2x5
75x1x5
105x1x3
130x1x2

Gutted out the very last rep from the bottom.

Deadlift
135x2x5
225x1x5
280x1x3
330x1x2
380x1x5

Originally wasn't going to do these as I still had some lower back pain. Decided to try the warmup sets to see how I did. A tad bit of pain at the top of my reps but it seemed to subside as the weight went up.

Still having some lower back pain so I skipped squats tonight.

Bench Press
45x2x5
90x1x5
135x1x3
180x1x2
217.5x1x3

Chin Ups
BWx1x2
15x1x2
27.5x3x5

These were tough (last few reps were iffy at best. Will likely repeat this poundage next week.

Tuesday, 10/3/17

Squat
45x2x5
135x1x5
205x1x3
255x1x2
280x1x1
305x3x5

The main reps felt tough but my lower back did just fine tonight; only a tad bit of discomfort.

Bench Press
45x2x5
90x1x5
135x1x3
175x1x2
217.5x3x(5-5-4)

Helped another lifter spot a failed rep as I was starting my warmup. Should have asked him to spot me at the last set; ended up dumping the weight after I failed the final rep.
