Up, Up, and AWAY!

255 press?!
It was a grinder, and sadly beneath my all time PR. I'm glad I'm on the climb up again, but it's still frustrating once in a while to be so far away from my previous best.

Skipped bench, have to go help my father in law build his barn.

First volume day of squat on the new program, can't wait to see how sore I am and how much this pays off towards my weaknesses. I've never done volume and it's time to "do the thing to get the power."

Tough day, didn't have a lot of energy and I don't enjoy training in the morning. Lower back felt a little fatigue by the last set, but over all its still 50 reps with 385, 18 more reps than last Saturday. Not my quickest workout ever.

Form was all over the place, weird day. Working on full hamstring extension to increase posterior chain mobility to make it easier to get into the start position on deads from the ground.

TOUGH day. Suboptimal sleep, low calorie. First workout on the newly poured concrete pad at the house. DEFINITE volume PR.

Sick as hell but wanted to get in some movement. Time for some deads that aren't RDLs.
