Felt FRIG’N awesome today. I really needed that deload. I’m getting my arch back and very happy with it. Now I just need to keep some of it when I’m in a shirt. I’m picking up speed again on my work up sets. 245×3 was really easy and I was about to rep out a few more but decided I REALLY wanted a single PR. About to put on 290 which I missed last week and said screw it and put on 295. Felt good!!!

Week 1 Days 1 - 4

No, I haven’t been totally slacking this week. Last week I deloaded and this week I’m reloading… Good way of saying doing just enough to not be totally lazy. Notable highlights of the week were:

Bench 255×3 PR
Reverse Band Bench 365×1 w/ strong bands completely slacked off 4in from lockout

Got the SS Yoke bar in and thrashed my back with light weight. and I still hate gear.

Felt myself pretty unstable with that bar but I love that I can setup with out having to walk it out because it places the bar so high and back. I’m still finding it difficult to hit depth with just the briefs on. I worked it down in that vid but I can see I’m having problems keeping my knees pushed out and wanting the throw me forward.

Just realized I’m 8 weeks in to my first cycle already. No wonder I was starting to feel burn out. After this last Sunday’s bench session I really felt I needed to pull back this week and hit a deload. I’ve just sort of randomly done stuff here and there but nothing with a bar. Just some foam roller, band work, bodyweight stuff, and some sled dragging. Nothing major and just normal GPP stuff.
