Geoff's Late Intermediate Log v2.0

[Geoff Bischoff]

Session 25

SQT 355x3x3
BNC 200x12x2
DLT 385x5

Resumed normal stuff on squat. I'm thinking I'll do 3x3 all week at +5 per, for a total of 27 reps. Bench is feeling better. For now I'm just aiming for two sessions of 24 reps; broke them into 12s this time. Elbow feeling tip-top again. Squat felt heavy today, so I backed off on deads to do a 5 instead of a 3 ... and it was way easy.

Session 26

SQT 360x3x3
PRS 165x5, 175x5, 185x5
DLT 425x1, 445x1, 465x1

[Geoff Bischoff]

Session 27

1 Mile (3:5 run:walk): 9:54

Planned to do a 3:5 2-mile (45 seconds walk, 75 seconds run), but got sidelined halfway through to talk to a Soldier in some personal distress. Job hazard. Ended up walking the second mile with the Soldier, but turned the timer off.

Gonna miss Friday's lift and hit again on Monday looks like.

Session 28

2 Mile Run (3:5 walk:run): 19:29

Cut 2m16s off my run time by the simple expedient of ratio change from 3:5 to 1:1. Behind on my lifting now.

Session 29 (20220622)

SQT 365x3x3
BNC 215x3x2
DLT 425x4

Tried for 5 on deadlifts; turns out I need to eat breakfast for that.

Session 30 (20220624)

Record ACFT: 6 events, 485 points out of 600

Neither great nor horrible. I'm pretty okay at 3 events, less so at the other three.

Session 31 (20220627)

10 mile ruck march, 25lbs

Went lightweight. Walk went fine.

My training is all over the place this summer. I kinda knew it would be. My vague plan is "lift MWF, condition TTh" but that's not been working out lately, and will continue to frequently not work out.

I may need to re-think some things to get something sustainable going through this very busy summer.

Session 32

BNC 315x1, 275x5, 225x8
ROW 225x8x3

Snuck in a quick session between things.

[Geoff Bischoff]

Session 33

BNC 275x1, 225x3, 185x8x5
Dumbbell rows: 90x8x3
Dumbbell hammer-curl rack-run: 35>10, 50 reps
Triceps cable rope-extension: 3x8@whatevs

So, like, bodybuilding BS might be my speed this summer. Dunno if it's age or what but I've never felt this hot in my life, and somehow, doing a bunch of high-heart-rate sweaty stuff ON PURPOSE feels less hellish than, say, high-heart-rate sweaty feelz from a really heavy set of 3.

So ... Tentative plan right now, some bodybuilder nonsense but keeping 1RMs of not less than 365 SQT, 295 BNC, 175 PRS, 425 DLT, and then a solid LP and follow-on Texas Method when the temps start to slip down.

Session 34

SQT 405x1, 365x1, 315x3, 275x5, 225x8

Short session today, got 18 reps in (probably only 10 that count but that set of 8 had me huffing).

[Geoff Bischoff]

Session 35

DLT 405x1x3
BNC 285x1, 235x5

Only time I made it in all week. This took 29 minutes of huffing and puffing. Now ... I've *got* a garage gym, but I'm too much of a p*ssy to use it right now in the hot summer, especially as I'm spending significant portions of each day out in the field with the troops in the heat already. I'm kinda drifting right now, hanging on by my fingernails waiting for work to calm down and the temps to slip a few degrees.

[Geoff Bischoff]

Session 36

SQT 225x5, 245x5, 265x5

BNC 155x5, 175x5, 195x5

DLT 295x5

Don't even know what I'm doing right now but I got this done in 17 minutes door to door, and that's what I needed today.
