    Jerry -

    Thanks for playing catch-up with me.

    Doing something is better than nothing.

    I hope the Beastie Boys get to Brooklyn soon. Not sleeping is pissing me off.

    Press
    33x5
    53x5
    88x5
    108x3
    128x1 belt
    140.5x5x3 belt / 7 min

    best pressing session in a while. Plate rattle at top of worksets, etc...

    S2: may have been 6 reps

    Shirtless. Wasn't sure about belt on skin. Worked out OK (since you're all wondering, I probably don't look as good as former forum participant "gilchrest")

    Haha. Took me a second. But I'm right there with you. Plenty of 90+ minute wide-awakes in the middle of the last several nights. It really makes getting out into the garage a struggle. But things move OK once started.

    Hopefully we're out of this cycle soon.

    Thought that was going to happen soon. Seems not so much.

    Thanks for stopping by.

    Finally slept last night - but probably not enough to help.

    1st time under 230 in 3yrs. A fair bit of water, but WTF. Now, if I was only deadlifting.......

    Press
    33x5
    53x5
    88x5

    128x1 belt
    143x5x3 belt/ 8 min

    S3: Last 2 reps less than pleasant.

    As a reminder, the odd weights are because I'm using a cheap hex-nut bar that I leave out in the Stables on the cobbled together press rack through the heat, humidity, fog and cold.

    am BW 230

    Donated blood Monday and "amazingly" I still have antibodies after 10 months. Covid in Nov. Antibodies at the end of Mar, May, Jul & Sep. No known financial incentive for the blood bank to produce a false positive antibody test.

    This session should have happened Wed.

    Bench
    45x8,7
    95x5
    145x5
    185x3
    215x1 belt
    235x5x2
    235x4+f belt / 8 min for work sets

    3rd time not hitting target. However, this went better than expected as I was talking myself out of completing each set. If press keeps moving, I don't mind sitting at this weight a couple more times.
