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.

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.
Bench
225x3
205x7
185x9
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.
Bench
235x2
215x4
195x7
Deadlift
335x6
315x4 (paused)
Only had 45 minutes to crank this out, so I'll hit the airdyne tomorrow.
