    This was my first day back from California, and I felt absolutely horrible. I attempted to squat, but my upper back and torso were such a mess that I just couldn't. I mean, I could have, but it felt almost reckless to do so.

    I still felt unbelievably fatigued. Also lack of motivation due to torso pain.

    Notes

    General:

    Since I've been in such a motivational pit, I've decided to try out a non-home gym. A couple Lifetime Fitness gyms have opened in the area since the last time I was gym shopping. This is the first globo gym I've ever been in with more than one or two squat racks. It has 8 racks and deadlifting platforms! Amazing! It's kinda pricey, but it's month to month, so I'm gonna give it a try. It will be nice to not deal with the cold weather in my garage as well.

    As for training. I think I'm going to do realization three weeks from now, and then go into a cut down to about 200 lb. The gym also has an artificial turf field for pushing sleds and stuff, so I can have some fun getting better conditioned while I cut.

    Comp Squat: Upper back was in a little pain, but not too bad. Decent session.

    Comp Bench: Felt pretty good here too.

    Notes

    Pin Squat: Pretty good for a Wednesday. Working out in this nice gym is definitely boosting my motivation.

    OHP: My press is such a mess. I should have a stronger press than this.

    Incline Bench: The failed rep on the second 165 set was due to not enough rest between sets. Also, doing incline right after pressing might not have been the best idea.

    Notes

    Comp Squat: I felt pretty fatigued from last week. I didn't mention it in the logging, but I did prowler pushing for conditioning since this gym has a astro-turf field for it. That, combined with the increase in intensity has me a little beat up. But motivation is still good.

    Comp Bench: I didn't feel particularly strong, but had a decent performance.

    Notes

    2ct Paused Squat: Pretty sure that's the heaviest I've ever pause squatted. I wish my upper back didn't get torn to pieces every time I squatted. My legs and lower back are easily ready to squat over 400. But this damn kyphosis!

    Push Press: This kinda proved to me that my pressing problems aren't arm/shoulder strength. It's balance and bar path. I think push pressing some more will help me work on improving that bar path with heavier weights. Also, I'd just like to incorporate something a little more explosive than what I usually do. Maybe one day I'll try cleans or snatches again. haha

    Rack Pull 2" Below Knees

    Rx: x3@7, x3@8, x3@9
    3x405@5
    3x465@6
    3x475@7
    3x495@8
    3x515@8.5
    Notes: Felt really strong. My back was sore and achy, but once I got going, I was going. I didn't want to push my luck and try a set above 515. 530x3 would have probably been a true 9.


    Pin Bench 2" above chest

    Rx: x3@7, x3@8, x3@9
    3x215@6
    3x225@7
    3x240@8
    2x250@10
    3x245@9.5
    2x245@10
    Notes: I knew I was pushing it to near failure with these weights, but in this case I'm ok with it.


    Overhead Press

    Rx: x8@7, x8@8, x8x2@9s
    8x95@6
    8x105@7.5

    Theme: Sports Form

    General Notes: Next week will be a low stress, then I'll follow it up with realization. Although I kinda don't feel like it, I think next cycle should be a weight loss cycle. Get down to 200, then do a real bulk again.


    Comp Squat

    Rx: x1@8, x2x5@8s
    5x225@6
    4x275@6
    2x305@6
    1x325@6.5
    1x345@8
    1x355@8
    2x325@8
    2x325@8.5
    2x325@8
    2x325@8.5
    2x325@8
    Notes: I forgot my knee sleeves, which kinda just makes everything feel off, since I use them so consistently. Upper back was also pretty wrecked from last week. Everything above 305 was painful.


    Comp Bench

    Rx: x1@8, x2x5@9s
    2x225@6
    1x240@6
    1x250@7
    1x260@8
    2x250@9
    2x245@8.5
    2x245@8.5
    2x245@9
    2x245@8.5
    Notes: Finishing off last week with heavy pin press, I'm not surprised I was weak here today.


    DB Curls

    Rx: x8@6, x8@7, x8x3@8s
    8x25@7
    8x30@8
    8x30@8
    8x30@8
