Still trying to lift more at the shore

Shitty night last night...didn't have time to lift and only slept a few hours, so press and squat day each get pushed back a day.


Press
+2.5 115x8x3
All sets around @9.5.

CGBP
177.5x8, 165x8, 142.5x11

Chins
4x4, 3x2
22 total. +1 from last week I think.

Squat
245x5x3
this was a repeat from 3 weeks ago when I did 245x8x2, x5. Rushed, mentally and physically tired, distracted. Pussied out after how hard 5 was, still probably didn't have 8 in me gun to my head. May need a deload week real soon.

Just been feeling beat down the last week or so, a little physically, but mostly extra tired, and loss of mojo to grind and motivation to train. Taking it light this week and hope to come back strong next week. May switch around my programming as this 5-6 days a week may just be too much to keep up with everything I have going on right now.

Squat
235x3x3
Felt like a warmup like it should.

Bench
185x5x3

Chins
4x4

Maybe I'll just quit strength training and train for the Tour de France.

Press
145xF, 145x1, 135x3
I know it's a deload week but I figured trying to PR a press wouldn't hurt anything. 145 is old PR, 142.5 was my last 3 doubles week. 135 was supposed to be my 5x3 this week, so this was a discouraging press session. I came in thinking 145 would be smooth, 150 would be a nice solid PR, and I'd hit 135x5 to backoff. Nope.

Squat
225x5x2
Really focused on dialing in technique, second set felt so smooth.


Take the weekend off and get back at it mon or rues with whatever programming feels right going forward when next week comes.

Still finding myself focused on other things and unmovtivated to keep grinding hard right now. So, without further ado, back to training without a plan for the time being, until I find myself wanting to train more.

Squat
315x1, 280x2, 250x5
315 was a grind, left a little in the tank on backoffs.

Bench
225x1, 205x3, 185x6
No grinding.

Chins
4 sets of 5

Ambw 209.8 (!?!?!?)

Airdyne
8 x 20:100

[Agilic]

Press
145xF, 140x1, 125x4, 112.5x6
145 barely budged off my shoulders, then 140 flew. Frustrating.

Deadlift
365x1, 315x3
365 wouldn't budge on the first attempt, rested a little and grinded it out. Took a light week and didn't pull, thought I'd come back strong and hit 400+ today, instead I lose 10% of my deadlift strength. Because I'm me.

Dips
+45x3
+25x8
BWx12

I think I found the solution for you man. Why strength train and condition separately when you can do it all at the same time? This should really help you focus on your training too, especially if you have a short attention span. Maybe we can all chip in and get your one as a belated birthday present
