Deadlifts

Today is Thanksgiving. That means family and food. I never like stuffing my face unless I have a place for all that food to go. Thats where the Deadlifts come in.

Rebounding - 30 minutes.

Deadlifts - 2 sets/6 reps/225lbs, 315lbs/1 rep, 385lbs/1 rep, 3 sets/1 rep/435lbs, 2 sets/6 reps/315lbs.



Nothing difficult. Working on gaining form from the floor again. No more tires for a bit.

Swiss Bar Bench Press

Had a little hickup in training yesterday. I was supposed to do Deadlifts after work but my Mom ended up going to hospital. We were there for about 8hrs so training didn't happen. Mom is alright.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. That means lots of good food. That said I decided to leave Deadlifts for tomorrow. Swiss Bar Bench today.

Rebounding - 60 minutes.

Swiss Bar Bench Press - 2 sets/12 reps/110lbs, 2 sets/160lbs/12 reps, 4 sets/6 reps/210lbs, 2 sets/12 reps/160lbs.

Dumbbell Side Laterals - 3 sets/12 reps/20lbs.

Feeling good.

Bench Press

I only had about 1.5 hrs to workout after work today before my family was going out to dinner. I made it work.

Rebounding - 20 minutes.

Bench Press - 2 sets/12 reps/135lbs, 225lbs/6 reps, 275lbs/3 reps, 3 sets/1 rep/325lbs, 2 sets/8 reps/225lbs.


My numbers are lagging lately. 325lbs for three singles is ok rightnow. Better than I've done in a while.

Off to dinner!

Bench Squats

I wasn't very motivated to lift today. I started doing regular squats but I was feeling stiff and sore. I'm not sure if I was genuinely stiff and sore or if it was mental. Either way, I switched to bench squats and paid my dues. I used the lower flat bench which is right at parallel.

Rebounding - 30 minutes.

Squats - bar/6 reps, 2 sets/6 reps/135lbs.

Bench Squats - 3 sets/6,8,10 reps/135lbs, 3 sets/6,10,12,16 reps/225lbs.


BW Split Squats - 3 sets/12,14,16 reps per leg.

HUGE PUMP right now. Gonna have trouble walking tomorrow. Very pleased with myself.

Swiss Bar Bench Press - 2 sets/12 reps/110lbs, 2 sets/12 reps/130lbs, 2 sets/12 reps/150lbs.


NG High Cable Rows - 3 sets/12 reps/50,60,70kg.

Dumbbell Side Laterals - 3 sets/12 reps/15lbs.

I'm still losing weight. Down to 352.5lbs this morning. Feeling better with lots of energy.

Deadlifts

Lately I've been too dependant on tires for deadlifts. Today I did Deadlifts from the floor and it really sucked.

Stationary Bike - 5 minutes.

Deadlifts - 3 sets/6 reps/135lbs, 2 sets/6 reps/225lbs, 3 sets/1 rep/315lbs, 3 sets/1 rep/405lbs, 505lbs miss twice. 2 sets/6 reps/315lbs.




I could come up with all sorts of reasons why 505lbs pinned me. The one main solution to all the problems is pull from the floor. So I shall.

Bench Press

Yesterday I was stiff and a little sore from Squats on Monday. However, I still managed 30 minutes on the rebounder and some Theragun work.
Today I was running around and didn't have much time before leaving for work. Enough time for some presses.

Rebounding - 30 minutes.

Bench Press - 2 sets/12 reps/135lbs, 225lbs/6 reps, 4 sets/1 rep/315lbs, 225lbs/8 reps.


At work I did a little training.

WG Lat Pull Downs - 3 sets/12 reps/105,120,135lbs.

Dumbbell Side Laterals - 3 sets/12 reps/15lbs.


A busy day turning productive.
