    Weighout: 213.6lbs*, Time: 1400 (01:30)

    Warmup:
    - hip smash x1min/side
    - glute/ham smash x1min/side
    - squat stretch 1min
    - couch stretch 1min/side
    - pec stretch 2x30sec/side
    - dip stretch 2x30sec

    Took a dump

    Clean & Strict Press 45x10, 95x8, 135x6, 185x4, 205x2, 225,230,235x1

    Weighted Chin-ups 25lbs x10,10,9,8
    Superset w/Clean + Press 185x8,8,7,5 @90-120 sec b/t movements

    Squat 45x5, 135x4, 225x3, belt 315x2, 405,495,530x1, 470x5 sets of 4 @3-4min

    Weighted Dips 95x12,12,12,9@2min

    Notes: surprisingly all of the squat racks were occupied, so I started with press; had to clean, which I said I wouldn’t do… pressing first in the session improved performance; but squat felt pretty sluggish - the whippy/cheap bar contributed to that as well.

    I weighed out with shoes off but sweaty clothes on; I am likely 212(ish). My two maintenance/carb-up days have largely become unregulated and tend to creep over to Sunday as well. I’m likely still averaging 208-210 over a week period; I’m just holding more water from the increased sodium intake (I’m not really eating enough to gain any appreciable weight; I’m still averaging 2500-2600 calories Sunday - Thursday and 3100-3300 on Friday & Saturday; this averages out to roughly 2900 calories per day). At some point I need to get my shit together and make the next jump down to 200-205; it’s just so easy for me to add weight… it’s a curse. I know.

    Weighout: 210.5lbs, Time: 1120 (01:03)

    Squat: 45x10, 135x5, 225x4, belt: 315x3, 405x2, 495x1, 475x 5 sets of 4 @8,9*,8,8.5,9 @3-4min

    Clean & Press: 45x10, 135x5, 185x1, 205x1, 225xMiss, 185 x8@9, 8@10, 6@9.5, 5@9.5, 5@9 @3-4min

    Prone-grip Scapula Pull-up x15,13,13 @1-2min

    notes: stopping to use the little boys' room reduced the RPE for my third working set of squat. And yes, one hour of training for essentially two movements is *not* a type-o; it took nearly 20 minutes to warmup/stretch my left pec to allow my shoulder to squeeze into position for squatting -- walking the bar out, it isn't so much a mental battle to squat-down and stand back up, rather, its gritting through the pain the bar places on the front of my shoulder. Even crawling into bed next to my toddler is debilitating; I am keeping very low pressing volume with zero traditional chest training -- only dips, ring push-ups, and minimal low-incline DB pressing

    Weighout: 208.4lbs, Time: 1215 (00:44)

    Warmup:
    Prone-Incline L/Y/T-Raise 10lb x15/10/10, 10/10/10

    High-Incline/Prone Dumbbell 'Y" Lateral 25x16,16,16 @2min

    Weighted Dip 100x12,12,12
    Band Foot-Elevated Ring-Push-up 15+4+3+2, 12+3+3+2

    --- Break ---

    My shoulder is at a point where I am no longer comfortable plowing ahead. I have gotten away from keeping up with PT and have resumed my obsession with building a big press. I have also not been eating enough calories to feed repairing my slap-tear (rather, maintaining it--because they do not heal without surgical interventions); this is related to my sub-goal to reduce body mass to the 195-205 range. Sleep and hydration have not been adequate either. Just yesterday I got up at 0430 then sat in the ~40*F/rain for three hours while I waited for a walk-in appointment to register my wife's car (Kapaun Air Station, Germany). In focusing on what is important to keep me going for the long haul, I need to make a training intervention. Worth mentioning: commuting is a massive time suck here in Germany. They simply have too many cars and not enough road. As such, commuting to a fitness facility takes away more than it gives back; at this point, i see my 3 and 5 year old for about 30-45 mins in the morning, then for dinner around 530/6 (sometimes 7pm), then its bath time, stories, and they're in bed by 730/8pm. In the grand scheme of things, that is a failing grade for investing time into them; completely unacceptable. I have an adjustable bench and two spin-lock dumbbells at the house, plus a variety of bands. I will be using that for more of my supplemental/accessory work to cut down on time away from the house. Perhaps in the future, i will come up with a dip/chin-up station as well. This is what it may approximate:


    Monday (Heavy): Commercial Fitness Center

    Warm-up (mobility work): foam roll quads, hips, glutes, & hams, then couch stretch

    3b. Triceps Kickback 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps
    4. Speed/Tempo Run 3-6 x 0.25 - 0.375 mi (400-600m)


    Wednesday (Light/ff): Garage

    1. Foam roll glute/ham/quad & couch stretch


    Thursday (Medium): Commercial Fitness Center

    2a. Incline Hammer Curl 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps
    2b. Overhead Triceps Extension 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps

    4. Prone/High Incline Y-Lateral 3-4 sets of 10-15 reps
    5. Banded Ring Push-up x2 Myo-Rep Sets


    Saturday (Light): Garage

    Warmup: foam roll pecs, lats, & triceps, stretch pecs, lats, & triceps, L/Y/T-Raise 3 sets of 10-15 reps
    1. Ab Wheel 3-4 sets of 10-20 reps
    2. Plank 2-3 minutes (total)
    3. Distance Run 20-35 minutes


    Sunday (Light/Off): No Training, just meal prep


    A few months of this should help me build up shoulder stability and dissipate some of the aches and pains (shoulders, lats, hips, elbows, quads, and pecs) that I've been accumulating. From there, I'll keep the same gym/garage arrangement, but likely ditch the front squat (because its an inferior movement) in lieu of back squatting. The safety bar may hang around, however; time will tell.

    Time: 0725 (00:53)

    Safety Squat Bar ("Gopher" brand; 60lbs) 60x10, 150x5, 240x4, 330x3, 380x3, 420x3,3,3,3 @90-sec
    Superset w/ Hex Bar Pin-Press (Hex brand; 50lbs) 50x10, 100x5, 140x5,5,5,5 @1.5-2min
    RDL (DOHHG) 315x6,6
    1-Arm Cable Rear Lateral 20# 3x12 @90-sec
    1-Arm Cable Y-Lateral 15# 3x12 @90-sec

    Notes: I didn't have to fight my shoulder to squat; ended up saving a lot of time on stretching/mobility. SSB squat felt weird; kind of like a high bar squat, definitely very quad dominant. With the Hex pin-press I focused on a full upward push with my scapulae; shoulder is feeling pretty decent today.
