I’ve been really liking the increased frequency and volume on bench. I imagine I need to start finding the time to press more…or just press since I haven’t been fitting it in. Training time is limited so it is usually the first to go.
I got in an argument with a coworker (don’t know him) when warming up with 225lbs for deadlift. He told me to be quieter and that it was terrible for my back. I told him I know it is loud and will try to keep it quieter, but it was great for my back. He continued to try and educate me and I kept telling him it is great for my back. Really just wanted him to leave me alone. The onsite gym staff came over to me and told me to be quieter. I told her that I’d just work out at home. I also told her that I was under the impression that they were ok with deadlifting since it was addressed in the open forum they had with the staff…looks like they aren’t. \rant

340 1@8 this actually felt like an 8 for once. Felt good.
310 4@8 also felt good to know I had one set this week. I’m excited for deadlift tomorrow.

I really think I could have done more weight here, but my right knee felt like someone was stretching the skin/tendons too far over the knee. A weird pain so I took it easy. I imagine it is from sitting all day and potentially a tight hip without warming up the squat appropriately.

295 5@9 knee feeling weird
My hamstrings feel nice and sore. I imagine it is from a deload week when I potentially didn’t need it, but not sure.

405 1@8 425 1@9 PR…but not @8 like I wanted. I thought I was at my knees and started to lock them out rather than keeping my shoulders over the bar.

345 1@8 felt like a 7 so went for 360 after watching video
360 1@9 I got on my toes but confident I had a least one more. Pissed I can’t execute with the heavy weight but I guess I need to get used to singles

Bench went backwards this week but can’t complain since it has been moving well the past couple
November 7, 2018 Morning BW 179.8 @home Feelings: back a little fatigued Training time: 1h20m I don’t know how others are keeping the training time down when I’m only doing 2 movements per session most days
