KSC+, W3D4/5
Squat: 405x2x2
T-Bar Row: 135x8x3
So I bagged this basically. Second squat double, that ol' hamstring plucked like a guitar string. Still had enough "strings" to finish that second rep, but this is annoying. I've been basically hurt all of 2020 and it's beginning to annoy me. Probably I should've gone with 395 for load.
Whatever. New week starts Tuesday.

Whatever, Man
I'm down 6lbs in 6 weeks now, maintaining an average daily calorie deficit of 1000Kcal, and feeling it. So this is all going to be pretty ad hoc until I sign into my new duty station and get a successful AR 600-9 measurement.
Bench: 330x1, 295x2x2
Single at RPE 9, followed by two doubles at 90%
Row: 135x8x3
This was going to be at 225, but before I even broke the first rep from the floor, my hamstring yelped at me.
Close Grip Bench: 225x8x3

Low-key LP
Squat: 275x5x3
Hamstring felt good, quads barked a bit.
Bench: 200x20, 12, 8
Wanted 40 reps, got 40 reps
Deadlift: 295x5x2
This is where the hamstring barked, but I did these slowly, pulled all the slack out of the bar, and got it done.
-
200x20? Nice!!
Hope that hammy feels better soon.
Also, 1000 a day under sounds awful.

Mike! Long time no see. Hope all's well with that growing family of yours, and that you're finding some time for some strength training.
Yeah, I always figured training in deficit would suck, but now I know experientially.
Low-Key LP, Week whatever, Day who cares
Squat: 315x5x3
Deadlift: 335x5x2
Bench: 205x20, 12, 8
Got another density bench done. I'm in a Navy gym out in Bremerton this week, so I had to put collars on the bench bar (!) AND couldn't use a spotter because COVID. So it turns out possible death is a great motivator for long bench sets.
Row: 225x8x3
Cable Biceps and Triceps: Did some.
Hamstring didn't bother me at all. Low back is de-trained from all this light work, so I'm going to have to stick with the slow LP type stuff for a bit. I did an exploratory squat single at 365 before my sets of fahve; it came up okay but felt like 425.
-
Thanks man! Things are going well.
As far as training, no. Exercise is occurring again.
I see you are moving soon. Hope that goes well!
-
I see your log now; glad you're doing some work and that you've managed to drop your waist size a bit. If you can't train, exercise is the next best thing.
And yep; I got picked up for Active Component, which is a goal I've been working toward since 2012-ish. Had to get the school and grad school done, to come back in as a Chaplain.
Low-Key LP, Week whatever, Day who cares
Squat: 335x5x3
Deadlift: 355x5x2
20lb bump to each of these. I think I may have one more 20lb bump on these, barbell depending. I'm working out at Kitsap Naval Base, and the bar for pulling has some really smooth knurl, and a no-chalk rule. I'll try to grip the darned thing anyway.
Press: 135x3, 185x3
Tired.
Hammerstrength Plate-load Chest Press Thingy: Did some.

Low-Key LP, Week whatever, Day who cares
Squat: 355x5x3
Another 20-lb jump. These hurt my elbows. The Navy gym has only olympic bars, so there's no center knurl, and it's harder to lock in.
Deadlift: 385x5x2
+30 this time. Mostly because I was too lazy to load otherwise (55, 45, 45, 25 was the loading; otherwise I'd have had to mess with 10lb bumpers)
Bench: 210x20, 18, 2
Almost got my 40 reps in 2 sets this time.
Next session should be back in Arizona somewhere. I'll have just spent a day of ground and air travel, so I may not be feeling up to much. I'm hoping for a +10 on squat and DL.
-
Return to Arizona
Squat: 385x3, 405x1
Bench: 215x20, 14, 6
So it's 30 degrees hotter here than in WA and I feel drained just walking around today. I was going to do 375x5x3 on the squat but I misloaded the first set and it felt like a billion pounds. I'll try 365 next just to level it off.
Picked up a new 40-rep PR on bench though, so hey.
