    Barbell Curl: 65x8


    Another week in the can on these. Next: sets of 7, and 70lbs on the curl.

    NFL Combine Benchmark (225lbs bench press AMRAP): 21 (PR!) Video at Login • Instagram

    Haven't done the Combine test in two-ish years. Crushed it today. Feeling good about it.

    Additional Bench: 225x8, 7

    Press: 205x1, 185x5x3

    Row: 205x8x3

    Squat (Light): 295x5x2


    Pulled these down from 325 to more appropriately match light-day % templating.

    W37D1 (Part 1)

    Lunch Hour at the Army gym.

    Chins: BWx7x2

    Barbell Curl: 70x8


    +2 chins, +5lbs. Gonna repeat this all week.

    Bench: 330x3 (post-op PR triple), 295x3x3

    Good stuff. Got the triple PR on the Insta, but can't link it from this work computer. You can find it there if you care.

    W37D1 (Part 2)

    Home in the garage.

    Squat (Volume): 325x5x4

    Deadlift: 445x1, 375x3x3


    Putting in work. Reduced bar load on Volume Day to better match dropback % of my top triple for the week. Felt great.

    A day early because of work stuff coming up. I felt the shorted recovery on every exercise. Session still went well.

    Chins: BWx7x2

    Barbell Curl: 70x8

    Squat: 365x5, 390x3 (post-op PR triple), 405x1


    Glad for the PR triple. Felt smoked so only hit 405 on the top end, but that's a Rx "RPE 8" single, so it's kinda fuzzy. When I feel bulletproof again like last week, I'll go heavy on that.

    Bench: 272.5x8, 282.5x5, 302.5x3

    Took a lot of discipline not to just load the next 5lb plate but I followed the Rx.

    Deadlift: 405x5

    Paused deadlift: 365x3x3

    Chins and curls are closed out for the week. I'm thinking next week: 8s, and 72.5.

    Squat (light): 295x5x2

    Bench (light): 225x8x3 (4-second negative)

    Row: 210x8x3

    Press: 227.5x1, 230x1 (post-op PR), 232.5x0, 187.5x5x3 Video of 230 at Login • Instagram


    Took a single at 227.5, which was a post-op PR. It came up so fast, I took 230, and that moved well too. Tried 232.5, and that sucker came up as well! But there was a dip in the ascent, so it's a no-lift. Not counting it. But I'm now only 10lbs off of lifetime best press. I'm stoked right now. God is good.

    God is good Geoff! Great press. Notice you don't use hip drive, I don't either. T

    Amen and amen.

    As for the hip thing ... I don't have the coordination for it, or I'd try some drive-and-layback. I can't dance for crap either, so hey.

    Chins: BWx8x2

    Barbell Curl: 72.5x8


    Incremented up for the new week.

    Squat: 330x5x2, 330x2, 295x5

    So ... Saturday I did a 12mile ruck march with my Bravo Company. Still sore in the hamstrings, hips, adductors. Got scared by some tweaky feelings in set 3 of volume day, and scaled back a bit.

    Deadlift: 475x1 (Post-op PR!), 380x3x3


    I'll get that deadlift video up tomorrow maybe on the Insta (Edit: Video of this pull is at Login • Instagram ). I'm just glad to hit this: At the 1000lb club thingie I pulled this, and initially marked it as a PR, but I noticed that the sides of the platform had like a 2-inch boost, making the pull off the floor easier. This one counts: SS Power Bar, and a flat floor.

    Not even in the same zip code as Rx for the rest of the week, for reasons related to work, wife's health, and Christmas holiday stuff. I'll try to get some other stuff in before the week closes out.
