8.27.23

Squat: 220 5/5
Press: 122.5 4; 120 4; 115 4
chins: bw 12

felt kind of crappy. I was noticing some soreness in groin/hamstring left side on squat and didn’t want to risk pulling something, so stopped at 2 sets. Press was dismal.

9.5.23

Deadlift: 250 5
Bench: 197.5 5/5/5
pull ups: 20 4.5; 17.5 4.5; 15 4; bw 4

184.6 body weight!

I missed a workout or two, so thought my lifts would suffer. Surprised to pick up right where I left off. But bodyweight is going up, so that probably has something to do with it. Because of that, pull ups and chins are suffering a bit.

9.13.23

Squat: 210 5/5/5
bench: 200 5/5/5

Ran out of time so didn’t get to do pull ups. I’m still kind of rehabbing all these little tiny tweaks. So I went slower with the squat today into depth position. Felt pretty good. No spotter on bench. Last rep of last set a little dicey, but got it!

9.22.23

squat: 215 5/5/5
bench: 202.5 4/3; 200 2

182.1 bodyweight

Spotter on first set of bench. No spotter last two sets, so was being cautious. Disappointing though.

10.2.23

Squat: 215 5/5/5
Bench: 195 5/5/5
chins: 20: 5/5/; bw 6

182.3 bodyweight

Losing some consistency lately. Wasn’t sure what if squat (especially after tweaking my back the las workout on the press: upper middle right side). Bench has waned a bit. Had a spotter on last set and that was my best set. Was in a hurry on chins.
