CGBP

Same here
Dips

Notes
Having pain in left outside shoulder/upper arm
Maybe not recovered from last weeks intensive curling, been cutting bodyweight almost 5kg since januari, that could also be a part of the problem.

Im still cutting weight almost 5kg now, Thats probably why the pressing moments suck. Not to much food, and not to little.

Tired today, missed the single, probably beacause the trip to my brother fucked up my training/eating/resting schedule. Looking forward to next weekend with DL&bench.

Saturday 5/5-18
DL day
137,5kgx1x2
117,5x4x3
Squat
105kgx2
86x5x3
Notes
Decided to do more of the basic lifts always with a intensity fokus. And do fives as a Backoff. It seems like I always lose my strength when I omit those heavy doubles and singles. And I also lost some of my lifting spirit, so I just hang in there so I wont lose my strength.

Press

45x0
43x1

Notes
New bench/press program with just the basic, try to use the onerep calculator after I established a one rep max.
So I go 1,3, 3x5 reps and maybe a Backoff set around 7-8 reps.
No more assistant work until summer vacation or when I go in to my 50% retirement in december when Im 67yo.
I also really plan to continue to cut weight, it might take around a year or more, Ive done 5kg since januari, its ten more to go.
Keep on tugging my friends and lift heavy. I have also started to listen to the podcast Barbell Logic, its great info and entertaining for us SS-fans.
