Chins: 6, 6, 6

Knees sore. Started doing some terminal knee extensions 1st thing in the morning, at lunch, and when I get home from work. 2 sets of 15 reps on each leg per sesh. Hope it helps the tendinitis. Icing every night for 10 mins as well.

Not a great day. Made worse by my vikings terrible performance in the NFC championship game. Ate away the pain with popeye's chicken, duck poppers, meatballs, lots of chips and dip.

Squat: 250 x 5 x 3

BW 238.5
Deadlift: 325 x 5 x 1 (Finally!)
Squat (light day) 200 x 5 x 3
Strict Press: 167.5 x 4 x 1
Press 2.0: 160 x 4, 160 x 3

Glad to get 325 x 5 on deads after 2 consecutive misses, hook grip held up this time. Reviewing video for deadlifts it looked like I might not have gotten all the slack out of the bar on a few reps, arms looked bent a little. Remember to stand up straight on later reps, got lazy.

Press is hitting a bit of a wall, 2nd failure at this weight in a row.

1/28/18
BW: 239.2
Squat: 255 x 5 x 3
Bench: 262.5 x 5 x 3

Ran out of time for rows. Squats felt pretty decent. Trying to keep my chest proud and really push knees out hard. Knees were quite sore after the workout, not so bad during, took a long time to warmup. Bench felt pretty good, noticed the 2nd set is usually easier than the 1st for me on Bench.

1/30/18
Deadlift: 330 x 5 x 1
Strict Press: 167.5 x 5 x 1
Press 2.0: 160 x 4, 135 x 5
Squats (light day): 200 x 5 x 2

Happy with deads. 3rd fail at this weight on the press, backed off the weight on 3rd set. Think putting it after deadlifts might be holding me back. Will try 167.5 one more time and do it 1st, then it might be time to move on.

Out of town for an ice fishing trip over the weekend then had a work trip last week. Ate like shit. Picked it back up this week, backed off of weights, took 10 lbs jumps this week before I head to Costa Rica on Saturday.

Picking the log up again after a frustrating month. Week-long vacation was followed up with a back tweak first day back in the gym squatting, tough time getting out of bed the next day. Rehab lifting followed with poundages not worth logging for about a week and a half, getting back into it last week and a half.
