    Sunday, 12-May 2019
    Weighout: 220lbs, Time: 1430 (01:20)

    Squat Superset w/Strict Press 45/45x10, 135/135x5, 225/185x4, 315/205x3, belt 405/225x2, 495x1, 545x1, alternate: squat 475 4x5, press: 205 3x5 @2min b/t
    Seated DB Press 75x12,11,9 @2min
    Dip 105 5x8@2min
    1-Arm DB Side Lateral 30x12,35x12,35x10,30x10,25x10

    Notes: felt a terrific pain in my left elbow during my final set of squat. I've been ignoring a nagging left elbow and just adding extra reps of chins or low weight biceps curls before squatting to warm the area up. The pain typically subsides to a dull throb as the training session goes along. However, on this final set, I pushed my elbows up a little too high (rather than squeezing them inward). The result was a lovely velcro-like ripping sound. No immediate pain, swelling, or bruising. Although, moving furniture or picking things up with elbows approximating full extension can be rather alarming at times. We'll see how benching goes on Wednesday and Friday. The good news is I'll be taking vacation time for the next two weeks - so I am forced to lay off a bit. Closing thought: not using Starr rehab protocol for this as it is not a muscle belly tear, rather it is a tendon/ligament issue.

    Wednesday, 15-May 2019
    Weighout: 217.5lbs, Time: 1130 (01:10)

    Front Squat 45x10, 135x5, 225x4, belt: 315x3, 365x3, 370x3,3,3@2-3min

    Paused Bench 45x10, 135x5, 225x4, 275x3, belt: 315x3, 365x1, 330x5,4+1,3+2+1 @3min

    7-Min D-Handle Pulldown 50x15,12,10,8,5, 60x5,5,10 (70)

    Inc LTE 110x20+6+5+4+3, no rest,100x8+3+3 (44)

    Notes: lightly pulled my right hamstring yesterday during the sprints. I tried accelerating too sharply with inadequate warm-up/poor hydration/anterior hip tightness/all of the above. It didn't seem to impact front squatting much, however, on video, I had more forward lean/hip rise than I normally do. For assistance work I adopted more of a "myo" rep style scheme (8-10 breaths between bouts). I got a lot of work in, "felt" everything firing, and didn't waste a whole lot of time. Overall the result was a better pump at the end and a hell of a time getting my shirt over my head to shower. neat. I have also been including 2-mins (cumulative) ab-vacuums in the morning, before breakfast, but after taking a dump. Right now I feel like my strength is fairly decent and my body weight is about where it should be. My conditioning is steadily progressing but my abdominal region still looks like a fucking turtle (nerds might call it "distended"). I am working to tighten up the internal-whats-its as well as slightly reducing my fat intake. And weening off of gatorade. shit is just sugar water any how.

    Notes: I have cut out the garbage food (e.g., Gatorade and kid cereal). I am mostly getting my carbohydrates from lactose sugar (milk), bananas, oats, and white rice. I swapped out 80/20 beef for skinless chicken breast. I went back to eating all of my egg yolks. I ditched the nightly plain Greek yogurt as its $1 per 18-20 grams of protein vs. having a scoop of protein (19g for $0.27). I plan on keeping my intake fairly low Sun-Fri, and then "refeeding" on Saturdays. THis also allows me to enjoy barbecues and whiskey like a normal human. At this point, I am about the same weight I was when I left, but significantly more squish. That means I've lost muscle and gained fat. In addition, I have de-trained significantly. Based on the reduced calories over the past two weeks while traveling, I am not at all concerned with 2700 calories per day at this point. If I start getting weaker, excessively sore/fatigued, and do not see any significant improvements in the mirror, then I will reassess.

    Average Daily Nutrition:
    Calories: 2700-2800
    Fats: 70-80g (~25%)
    Carbohydrates: 250-270g (~40%)
    Protein: 230-245g (~35%)

    Weighout: 213.5lbs, Time: 1245 (00:56)

    Squat 45x10, 135x5, 225x4, 315x3,3,3

    Pullup bwx10, 25x5, 45x4x5 superset w/

    Cable side lateral 3x12 superset w/ BB upright row 135 3x8

    High Cable Wood Chop 3x12/side

    Notes: Press went well until the third set, then I just couldn't seem to dial in the correct bar path. Squatting went very poorly. I had originally intended to do some banded dynamic effort squatting as my light variant. However, not training for the past two weeks and doing a fair amount of sitting around, I had anticipated soreness to play a role. I intentionally limped into Sunday to ensure that I hit a decent weight with okay-ish form, then backed off to get a little volume in. I didn't want to go to gung-ho and debilitate or injure. My right hamstring is still pulling tight during sprinting and squatting - I had hoped it would have mended by now; more hip stretching is in my future. At any rate, I opted to get a little volume in at roughly 60% of an estimated max of 550 and call it there. Friday will be either a tempo or a pause squat - more than likely it'll be a pause. I seem to be dropping weight alarmingly fast, I don't know if that is the product of cutting my carbohydrates in half or I am simply not eating enough. I have a carb load on Saturday, so we'll take a look at the weekly average and where I am at Sunday before and after training, then adjust from there.

    3-way shoulder raise (35lbs rear & side, 25lbs incline front) 12/12/12, 12/12/12, 12/9+3/12

    Track:
    4x400m: 00:01:21, 00:01:24, 00:01:28, 00:01:33

    Notes: I vaguely remember running 400's in high school mid-to-low 60-seconds range; 90 seconds seems like a snails pace. However, that was 20 pounds and nearly 15 years ago... The first one felt pretty challenging but faster than 10mph (treadmill work). The second one left my glutes on fire; I thought I wouldn't be able to get another sub-90 second round in. I rested twice as long as the previous - 3-4 minutes and squeaked out a 1:28. I almost didn't even attempt number four; I was disappointed in the outcome yet satisfied that I had the stones to make the attempt. I'll say this about running an outdoor track vs. a treadmill, its much more fatiguing to generate your own power and combat wind.
