Tuesday

HBBS (no belt + no wraps/sleeves): 135 x 5, 5, 5

Wednesday

SLDL (no belt): 135 x 5, 5, 5

Again, kept it super light. I just wanted to do one workout of each at a light weight before I start ramping things up again.

HBBS (no belt + no wraps/sleeves): 185 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

Super duper easy. I am pleased that all tenderness/pain associated with the proceedure is gone. So, hopefully no more interruptions in my training.

[BigA]

SLDL (no belt): 200 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

Very easy. Legs are very sore from 5x5 squats even though the weight was light.

Strict Press (no belt): 135 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
Weighted Chin-up: 35 x 1@6.5, BW Chin-ups: 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

[BigA]

HBBS (no belt + no wraps/sleeves): 215 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

Just getting back up there. Somewhat light.

SLDL (no belt): 235 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

Very late night workout so the weight felt moderately heavy.

[BigA]

Strict Press (no belt): 170 x 1@9, 135 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
Weighted Chin-ups: 75 x 1@9.5, BW Chin-ups: 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

I am ready to start doing singles on the lower body lifts again. I really really really hope there are no more interruptions in my training anymore.

HBBS (no belt + no wraps/sleeves): 300 x 1@8, 215 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

So, I am changing my youtube up a bit. I tried to do the vlogs but they weren't quite for me. In the future, my youtube videos besides my music will just be my lifting journey. I posted this on here because it's relevant to my posting here. Essentially, I am going to film more of my lifting, do full day of eating and also weekly physique updates. No more vlogs for me. This is for youtube monehs in the future (duh) but also to be held more accountable.

My bodyweight has creeped up a bit during the 2 week layoff but it will get back down. I will try to follow IIFYM. 200 P, 250 C, 75 F.

Monday Training

SLDL (no belt + mixed grip): 350 x 1@8, 225 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

Morning BodyweightL 222.0 lbs

Yup, gotta lose that extra weight.

[BigA]

Strict Press (no belt): 165 x 1@9, 135 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
Weighted Chin-up: 75 x 1@8.5, BW Chin-up: 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

Late night workout plus hungry. I had 6 pop tarts and some OJ a few hours before lifting.

I have been eating more than my macros allow yet I still feel hungry. I didn't do the whole "eat the same and track them for one week to establish a baseline", I just went by the numbers in TBAB with my goal weight in mind. I am looking into getting into some bodyweight stuff (ie front levers, planches) but I will make myself wait until I have at least a 550 SLDL. Just a thought in the back of my mind. Plus, I need a home gym for that.

It's really crazy how much powerlifting is taking off. Records are being broken left and right (by both men and women), it's unreal. Don't even know if it's worth it getting to 275 anymore haha. Maybe I should try to be a sexy AF 242 with a walking around weight of 250.
