Bench Press

Both Squats and Bench Press are going in the right direction. It's hard not to load up the bar and see what I've got. My experience has taught me that small gains from day to day training lead to greater gains overall. 

Rebounding - 30 minutes. 

Light Stretches. 

Bench Press - 2 sets/12 reps/135lbs, 225lbs/12 reps, 3 sets/4,3,2 reps/315lbs.

NG Bench Press - 2 sets/12 reps/225lbs.

Last set of 315lbs was for a long pause. Feeling good and strong. Time to eat!

Squats

Considering issues I've been having lately I feel good and strong. Form is better than it's been in a long time. Being patient and taking my time is paying off.

Rebounding - 30 minutes. 

Leg Swings and Dynamic Stretches. 

Squats - bar/6 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 315lbs/6 reps, 365lbs/4 reps, 405lbs/3 reps.

Because Squats are going well I start to add Deadlifts this week. Now it's time to hangout with my lovely wife and eat supper.

Bench Press

Bench felt strong today. The weights moved really well. 

Rebounding - 30 minutes. 

Light Stretches. 

Bench Press - 3 sets/12 reps/135lbs, 225lbs/12 reps, 3 sets/2,2,3 reps/315lbs.

Rebounding - 45 minutes (later on)

Not lots of time today. Gotta go get my kid from work. Lots of Dynamic pressing power.

SSB Squats

A "one-two" punch this last week has kept training on the back burner. An infection in my left ear and a muscle spasm on the back right of my head really sucked. Medications for both meant take it easy and rest.

Today I feel much better. Time to train. 

Theragun. 

Rebounding - 15 minutes. 

Leg Swings and Dynamic Stretches. 

SSB Squats - bar/6 reps, 140lbs/6 reps, 230lbs/6 reps, 3 sets/6 reps/320lbs.

I'm pleased with this effort. Maybe next week I'll squat closer to the beginning of the week.

Rebounding and Push Ups

I strained the back of my neck yesterday. Sleeping last night was difficult. Nothing fancy today. 

Leg Swings and Dynamic Stretches. 

Rebounding - 90 minutes. 

Push Ups - 6 sets/15 reps.

The Push Ups were done intermittently during the 90 minutes of rebounding. My neck is still stiff.

Squats

There's still a little nagging issue with my Hamstring top insertion strain. Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy. It doesn't hurt but I know it's there. It seems to bother more when I'm seated.

Time for some Squats. 

Theragun. 

Rebounding - 30 minutes. 

Leg Swings with band and Dynamic Stretches. 

Squats - bar/12 reps, 2 sets/6 reps/135lbs, 2 sets/6 reps/225lbs, 315lbs/6 reps, 365lbs/4 reps, 385lbs/4 reps.

More Theragun. 

All reps didn't feel overly heavy and moved quite well, IMO. Slow and consistent increases. Feeling good. Feeling fat.

OH Pressing

It's been a busy week. Working yesterday. Working today. Working tomorrow. A patrol this morning and rebounding when I got home gets me to my goal of 10.5k steps. After that some OH Pressing. 

Rebounding - 20 minutes. 

OH Barbell Press - 4 sets/6,12,12,14 reps/135lbs.

Feeling good and pumped. These felt very comfortable.

Rebounding and Deadlifts

I haven't done any pulls since the strain on my upper right Hamstring. Obviously, rest is the best medicine but I'm not that smart. I've gotta do a little something. 

Yesterday, I rebounded for about 1.25hrs total. Today, I rebounded for about the same total time. However, I added some Light Deadlifts. 

Rebounding - 1.25hrs total. 

Deadlifts - (OH Grip) 5 sets/8,8,10,10,12 reps/225lbs.

My butt held together just fine. Nothing special. Just putting in the work.

Bench Press

My left ear still isn't 100%. It doesn't hurt but it is completely plugged. Nothing to keep me from lifting. 

Rebounding - 45 minutes. 

Light Stretches. 

Bench Press - 3 sets/12 reps/135lbs, 2 sets/8 reps/225lbs, 315lbs/1 rep, 4 sets/1,1,2,1 reps/335lbs, 2 sets/8 reps/225lbs.

Good workout. Not very strong but better than I've been in a while. Feeling good.

Squats

I've been taking it easy lately because of my ear infection. It's been a busy week and I've done a little rebounding. So, that's something. I didn't plan on lifting today. It just sorta happened. 

Rebounding - 30 minutes. 

Leg Swings and Dynamic Stretches. 

Squats - bar/12 reps, 135lbs/10 reps, 225lbs/8 reps, 3 sets/6 reps/315lbs.

I'm feeling more like normal lately. The Squats felt really good. Glad I decided to train.

SSB Squats

Hamstring strain then an ear infection. Nothing else please. I would like to get on with training. Today I am feeling alright so time for a little bit of something. 

Theragun. 

Rebounding - 30 minutes. 

Leg Swings and Dynamic Stretches. 

SSB Squats - bar/12 reps, 135lbs/10 reps, 225lbs/8 reps, 315lbs/3 reps, 315lbs/4 reps.

Everything felt super light and moved really well. No aches or pains. Good place to stop. Next week I'll ramp it up a little more.
