    Thanks for the support B! Definitely no regrets. Trained my ass off all fall and winter and am thrilled with those presses. Would have loved a deadlift PR too but that's life. Next year!

    So I'm officially into offseason mode in which I do minimum dose to maintain strength best I can until fall when the real strength training picks back up. Typically do something real close to Andy's training without a plan template...gonna use that as a rough guideline but see how the summer goes and possibly expirament a little.

    Just wanted to get something quick and light in tonight and then start that next week. I'm badly sunburned and exhausted and sore from moving and spreading 6 cu yds of mulch yesterday in 75 degrees and stupidly not wearing a shirt so I'm happy to squeeze in anything tonight.

    Squat
    235x5x2
    Moved fast and easy. Back was on fire which made me squat even faster!

    Bench
    200x5x3

    Didn't think about my workout order, should have done bench/deadlift so I can drop the bar fast during my afternoon session without sleeping kids above the garage. Therefore I squatted again tonight, and threw in a quick strict press for some overhead work since I won't be pressing again until next Thursday.

    Bench
    225x2
    205x5
    185x8
    Surprisngly failed my 3rd rep @ 2 plates after the first 2 reps moved smoothly. Guess I'm just out of practice

    Squat
    250x5x2
    Still sore as shit from Tuesday's push pressing and mulching neighbor's yard so couldn't manage 3rd set. No biggie considering I just squatted Tuesday.

    Strict press
    135x2x3
    Did these with no warmup. Late and tired so didn't feel like stripping the bar all the way and working back up.

    Significantly stronger than last week. Nothing was @10.

    Deadlift
    335x3
    Haven't pulled much at all in the last month or so. This triple was pretty easy but I wanted to make sure I didn't make myself sore since I'm repping my company in a golf outing tomorrow.

    Airdyne
    10 x 30:30
    2.5 miles. Haven't ridden the airdyne in a looooong time. Rest periods were mid 30 RPM and work periods were mid 60's. I'll probably try to work this up to 3 miles over the next few sessions and then start upping the intensity by switching to 20:100's then 10:50's.

    So crappy it was barely a session edition

    Squat
    Was feeling good on these recently and the left groin pain came back out of nowhere with a vengeance. Couldn't get past 185 warmup, even with a narrow stance.

    Press
    157.5x1, xF
    157.5xFx2
    140x3
    Was supposed to be a smooth double.

    Push press
    147.5x4x2
    Failed attempt at 5th rep on both sets despite first 4 moving well.

    Chins
    Couldn't even lock out the first rep or lower myself from the bar. Some groovy left lat pain completely out of nowhere.

    Squat
    Left groin wasn't having it again. 1 rep at 135 = no way. Even warmed up on airdyne for a few minutes. Wondering at this point if it's possibly tendinitis and not a strain.

    Press
    155x2
    140x4

    Push press
    147.5x5x2

    Left lat still isn't happy but pushed through.
