Those squats are strong.

Thanks, PizzaDad. I wouldn't mind if they'd been just a little bit stronger, though.

Press:
147.5x2
147.5x2
147.5x2

Deadlifts:
390x3+f
315x5
315x5

(I'll be sitting on a motorcycle all day Friday, and I didn't want to do deadlifts the day before doing that, so I did these today.)

I'm still working on not dropping my hips. I started out well on that set at 390, but my form deteriorated as the set progressed. On the failed rep, I realized that I'd dropped my hips and gave up quickly.

CGBP:
180x8x3

It's an abbreviated workout week. I'll be back to the usual program next week.

Squats:
275x3x5

2 minutes rest, beltless.

Seated press:
110x5x5

Chins:
15x3 (EMOM)

[Chad Mynhier]

Deadlifts:
390x5
315x5
315x5

Press:
150x1x10

An idea I picked up from this article (towards the end of the article). Once I run out my current programming, I'm going to give this style of TM (for press) a shot.

Chins:
15x3 (EMOM)

I have a bit of golfer's elbow that I'm trying to rehab with chins.

Thanks, guys!

Bench press:
205x8
202.5x8
202.5x8

This was supposed to have been 202.5x8x3, but I'd gotten it in my head that it was 205, so I misloaded the first set.

Seated press:
110x5x5

LTE:
105x12x3

[PizzaDad]

390x5 deadlift looked like a grinder. Way to crank it out.

Thanks, PizzaDad.

Squats:
305x6
305x8
305x6

This was supposed to be 305x8x3, but I just didn't have the mental focus today to get these done. Life stuff going on that had me distracted. Looking at the bar speed on those two sets, it's obvious that I had more in me physically. I managed to pull it together for the second set, at least.

Chin-ups:
15x3 (EMOM)

BB rows:
197.5x8x3

Rear delt raises:
25x15x4
20x15

[Chad Mynhier]

Press:
122.5x8
122.5x7+f +1
122.5x7+f +1 +1

30-45 seconds rest before each of the +1's.

CGBP:
182.5x8x2
182.5x7

Side delt raises:
30x12
25x12x2
20x15x2

Dips:
+40x7x3

[Chad Mynhier]

Deadlifts:
395xf +1
315x5
315x5

After the failure, I was tempted to just try for 365x5, but I needed to prove to myself that I could grind through 395.

Chin-ups:
15x3 (EMOM)

Squats:
275x3x5

2 minutes rest, beltless.
