Still trying to lift more at the shore

[Agilic]

212.2 lb

Swapped a shift and worked last night so I slept 4ish hr (3 straight nights) instead of usual 8ish on a Weds. Now I'm off the next 4 nights so Sunday's session should be great!

Press
+1 127.5x5x5
Matches my 5rm! Misgrooved the fifth rep first set so it was @10. Next 2 sets were @9.5 and last 2 were @10 but not too bad of grinders.

Deadlift
+10 330x5x3
Brutal. @9.5, @10, @10. Mixed, straps, straps.

Dips
+17.5 lbs x 10
Only had time for 1 set so I AMRAP'd it. Should I count as 8x3 and go on up to +20?

212.6

Squat
280x2x2, x3
+5 from last squat doubles in Feb. Heavy but not grindy enough to prevent me from going for an extra rep on the last set and hitting it.

Bench
202.5x5 PR, 235x1 PR, 202.5x4, 185x7
Little bit of a mess around session before starting bench back on 8/5/2 next week. Main goal was to hit the 5rm which was an all out grind. Rested for a while and decided to try a PR single just to handle some heavy weights since I've been doing 5's for a while now and will be doing 8's then 5's the next 2 weeks. It was a little sticky off the chest but then was surprisingly smooth.

Killed it. Garage is a sauna, doing my "cool down" and have pools of sweat pouring of me as I type this.

3 trash nights of sleep in a row. But.....I'm moving to day shift next month after 5 years of nights!!! Sleep should become much closer to that of an average person.

Press

5rm and I got it 5 times!

Deadlift

Awesome man! And you got it with terrible sleep!

You want to try and compete in January... http://startingstrength.com/resource...ting-meet.html

When in Jan? Since I'm going day shift my new fellow supervisor always goes to Disney for 2 weeks in Jan., and idk if we'll have the guy who's retiring replaced, licensed, and trained by then. Definitely one of these days though, especially when I get a chance to sleep better and hopefully not be embarrassingly weak anymore!

Squat
+10 240x8x3
3rd set was soul crushing. Prob time to drop it to 5 lb jumps.

Bench
180x8x3
First session of putting my bench back on 8/5/2. This is +2.5 from where I left off in Feb. Sets were @8.5, 8.5, 9.5.

Murdered it. Took me 2 sprints to get into it (90-92 rpm), but the last 6 were 94-96 rpm.

Press
+1 130x5x5. PR
5rm and I got it 5 times! Gonna try to grind out 2 more weeks of 5x5 then get this on 8/5/2 the next 8's cycle.

Deadlift
+10 300x8x2, x1. 285x7
First set mixed, everything else strapped. 16th rep was a tough lockout. Rested 10m and still felt fried. Knew after the first rep that the 3rd set wasn't happening, plus I had to burp really bad. Took a min to get belt reset, straps etc. and took 5% off the bar to make sure I got my volume. Barely set the last rep down and laid on the floor for 2-3m. 109 F today with the humidity made this session a little uncomfortable. I'll probably do a +5 in 3 weeks and go for sets across and hope it's not 109 degrees again.

Dips
+2.5 +22.5 lbs x 8 x 2, x7


6 more nights shifts left....

I'll get something finalized next week, but I'm thinking I'm going to try 5 day KSCPB starting week of July 23rd when I go day shift, and train at night around 8ish PM after the older boy goes to sleep.

Kudos on the press PR! Taking a new 5RM 5x5 is pretty good progress.

[Agilic]

Thanks man, pleasantly surprised I'm actually making some modest gainzzz given my current circumstances, excited to see what I can doing going forward. Only 4 night shifts left!

211.4 ambw after a big dump

Squat
+5 260x5x3
First set was super easy @7.5ish. Afraid I was a hair high, I took the next 2 sets a touch deeper and they felt @9.5.

Bench
202.5x5x3
Got this weight for 1 set of 5 2 weeks ago. These were all @10 with the 3rd set being an especially epic grind. Hopefully this gets moving on a rotation and with some added assistance when I hopefully move to 5 day KSCPB here soon.
