Squats

During my days away from the weights I try my best to rebound. Today I got off the bench and did some proper squats.

Rebounding - 20 minutes.

Theragun.

Squats - bar/6 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 6 sets/6 reps/225lbs.

No belt, only knee sleeves. My body felt solid under these and I was able to drive up with power. I also took a shorter rest between sets than normal.

Shoulders are gonna feel it tomorrow.

Driveway Tire Deadlifts

Damn it's hot and humid today. I wanted to train earlier in the day but family responsibilities kept me busy until after supper. By this time I felt like an ant under a magnifying glass. The sun was hot and intense. Combined with my big fat body Deadlifts where tough.

Tire Deadlifts - 225lbs/6 reps, 315lbs/6 reps, 455lbs/3 reps, 495lbs/1 rep, 515lbs/1 rep.

Putting weights away equated to a nice bit of cardio. Maybe next week will be more suitable for strong deadlifts.

Bench Squats

It is hot and humid out doors today. No breeze at all. I'm old and fat and I don't want a heart attack. Last week was heavy. This week I'll take my foot off the gas and coast a bit. That said, I'm still putting in the work.

Rebounding

I feel great today. No aches or pains. I'm tempted to do Bench Squats but since I did Deadlifts on Saturday I should really rest.

Rebounding - 30 minutes.

Theragun.

Using the Theragun afterwards ensures I'll be ready to go tomorow.

Ugh!

Yesterday I wanted to train but had to take my father to the hospital. I did manage to get about 30 minutes on the rebounder.

Today different story but similar result. After 20 minutes on the rebounder I started some push ups. After the second set of 15 reps my lower back tightened up again.

Hopefully stopping sooner than pushing through will allow me to deadlift sometime this week end.

Snowdaddy

Bench Squats

Busy, busy, busy. It's about time to get under the bar. I missed Deadlifts this last week so I must be punished.

Adding the squats to the end ensures I'm being honest with myself by hitting depth. Good idea me thinks.

Inclined Bench Press

It's been crazy busy with my parents here. I managed a few minutes this evening to get some Inclined presses done. Considering, my bar has been loaded since Tuesday after bench squats.

Inclined Bench Press - 8 sets/10 reps/135lbs.

Nothing fancy. Just moving the bar.

Bench Squats

What a ridiculously busy week end. My son arrived Saturday for a visit. My parents got here Sunday because they are moving here. Sunday we had the whole Snow side of the family over for Canada Day dinner. It's been over a decade since that last happened. Time to continue training.

I decided to continue with Bench Squats for a while. Or at least until I can put some real weight on the bar.

Rebounding - 30 minutes.

Bench Squats - bar/10 reps, 2 sets/10 reps/135lbs, 2 sets/10 reps/225lbs, 3 sets/6 reps/315lbs.

These all felt really good. That is all.
