2/20 and 2/24:

rower 8x

[Crockett]

wip 39x10x3
chin 9/9/9
squat 310x3, 325x3

Chins are moving up, since I'm losing weight. Squat was heavy, but I think 330 is within reach next week.

[Crockett]

seated press 150 (2/3/2)
pullup 10/10/9
deadlift 405x1

Underslept and didn't eat much. After that rep at 405, I nearly blacked out, so I decided not to do the 415x3. Honestly, I probably could have, but since I'm cutting, it's no time to be a hero.

wip 38x10x3
chin 8/8/7
squat 305x5, 320x3

Just doing a top set triple from now on.

You also might consider needing more recovery time between workouts as well while on the cut. You are doing a lot of volume throughout the week.

[Crockett]

deadlift 410x3
seated press 150x3x3
pullup 10/10/8

Backing off of lower body volume now that I'm in the thick of my cut. Cut my calories this week again, and I could feel it in the pull. Last week, 405x5 wasn't that bad; this week, 410 felt crazy heavy. Press just won't move, and is in fact getting worse. Not sure what I'll do there. Whenever I cut, my upper body lifts die (proportionately more than my lower body lifts).

rower 8x

Muscles were tired today from squatting yesterday; lowest splits were only 1:19, and only briefly.

[Crockett]

squat 305x5, 315x5
wip 37x10x3
chin 9/8/7

Screwed up the 'priming' set (should have been 300), but actually it worked pretty well. 315 wasn't too bad, and I didn't even eat as much as I did last week. Finally got 37 lbs. on my weighted incline pushups. By the time I got to chins, I had run out of gas.

4th split hit 1:17. PR I think.

[Crockett]

deadlift 405x5
seated press 150 (3/3/4)
pullup 9/9/8

Tied a PR on deadlift.

[Crockett]

rower 8x

Hit 1:18 splits about midway through. That's about as low as I've ever gotten it, I believe.

[Crockett]

squat 295x5, 310x5
wip 37 (10/10/8)
chin 8/8/7

Squat volume was starting to trash my back (I'm on a cut), so now I'm doing a single top set preceded by a 95% 'priming' set, something I used to do. 310 felt fine, not great. 315 is probably within reach next week. Felt really gassed for the upper body; I'm not used to much training volume these days.

[Crockett]

deadlift 400x5
seated press 150 (4/3/3)
pullup 10/9/8

Oof on the press. Problem is, I've only been doing one lift per day, so I have no endurance. Next week would tie a 5RM for deadlift (405).

[Crockett]

wip 36x10x3
chin 8/8/7

Oof. Don't know why chins are getting harder...

[Crockett]

squat 305x5x3

Getting heavy...
