OH Press

I didn't really feel like training but I'm sure glad I did.

Elliptical - 15 minutes.

Stretching and Shoulder Mobility.

Standing Barbell Press - 2 sets/12 reps/bar, 120lbs/8 reps, 140lbs/8 reps, 160lbs/6 reps.

I was starting to rage during the sets. I am a friendly rager so I was making faces in the mirror. A fun and productive workout.

Deload Bench Press

I'm not really following the 5,3,1 program lately. However, I am sort of following it. Today I feel a flu or cold coming on. However, it could be a keto flu. That would be nice. Time for some Bench Press.

Deload Squats

Today I had the honor to train with my son. Although I have a membership for myself at Goodlife we also got a family membership back at 17 Wing. I was a little cautious about training at 17 Wing again  considering the circumstances in which I left the Strength Club. However, having the opportunity to train with my son again was worth the aggravation.

Elliptical - 5 minutes.

Squats - 2 sets/12 reps/bar, 75lbs/8 reps, 95lbs/8 reps, 115lbs/8 reps, 135lbs/8 reps, 4 sets/6,8,10,12 reps/185lbs.

Not very difficult but I feel a cold coming on so I quit there. My so. Managed a 185lbs single at 135lbs bodyweight.

Lazy

I'm not sure if it's the time of year or what but after my last training day my motivation went straight into the toilet. I haven't been to the gym in almost two weeks. Considering my motivation was so high before then it was like a switch was turned off.
Today I managed to drag myself to the gym. When I got there I punished myself for being lazy.

Elliptical - 15 minutes.
