    Thank you. The platform was absolutely necessary. The basement floor is tile and I did't want to destroy it.That's also why I put my Iron plates in storage.

    Forgive my whining and bitching, I woke up with a cold this weekend. Some fever and back ache came with it. And my groin has been giving me some concern, so I didnt' want to go "heavy" today. My heavyweights is pretty's light for a lot of people... but the bottom line is, I don't want to pull or tear anything. coming back from injury really sucks so I decided to just do an easier training session to put some thing on the books and fight detraining, but not put myself at risk.

    SSB Squat
    45x5
    95x5
    135x5
    185x5
    225x3x5 pause squats. only about a 2 count, since I have never done these before.

    deadlift
    135x5
    225x5
    315x3x5

    It is. I did have to talk myself up for the last set but I did it just the same.

    Wednesday I pulled a big deer out of the woods so I counted that as a volume training day. Much deadlifting and power rowing to get it up a long hill and out of the woods to the field.
    I am 52 today and I woke up planning a deadlift PR. I failed to pull a single at 30 lbs less than my PR. This is training.

    BW squats and some foam rolling to loosen up,
    Deadlift 135x5
    225x5
    225x5
    275x3
    315x2
    355xF.

    ssb squat
    135x5
    185x5
    225x5
    255x3x5. I am not in a hurry to increase my squat. I fear re-injury. q

    pushups and barbell curls.

    roman chair situps.

    I have been trying to drop some fat the last week, until two days ago....I have had two full Thanksgiving dinners. We had a 13 lb turkey, several lbs of venison and a full table of side dishes yesterday with 9 adults and a toddler. There is some gravy and root vegetables left. The rest is eaten. I also knocked down an ample amount of beer, wine, and spirits over the last two days. I have had a fantastic day. Can't always set PR's.
