Bingley's Bumbling Along

[John Watson]

sun 7/1/18
sq 45 1x10, 135 1x5, 225 1x5, 275 1x2, 315 1x5

unracked the second set at 315 and just mentally surrendered

Is that a PR?
Best I've done was 310x2x3.
Your consistency in training is paying off.

But you did 315 for a set of 5. A minor victory, at least. ;-)

No, but getting close
I'm trying to get consistent; I'd be tempted to give a body part or two just to get an 8 week stretch where I could actually train a solid 3 days per week like I want to

yeah, exactly, so i'm not too bummed about it.

what I've also been doing of late after every work set is done is putting an extra pair of 45s on the bar and just unracking it 5 times or so so that I start getting used to the feel of the heavier weights. in this case it was fun to load 405 and lift it on my back. I've been also specifically setting the rack a little lower than normal so that when I put the extra weight on I do have to lift it a bit.

You're making consistent long term progress.
I'd give up my belly fat for a 315x5 squat. That's a body part right?

Well, not a leg, 'cause you wouldn't be able to squat. Nor an arm, 'cause you wouldn't be able to deadlift. I can think of some other body parts that aren't involved in lifting, but you might not want to part with those, either.

the only one I get consistent growth in!

dl 225 1x5, 295 1x5, 355 1x2

sq felt good
deads were fine, i used my new figure-8 straps for the first time and liked them a lot; the first 2 at 355 flew up. odd thing was, i waited 5 minutes then tried to do any set and it wouldn't budge lol

oh well

Ditto on the belly gainzz.
