10/16/18 Seems like an appropriate time to transition over from SS. I’m back from Raw Natl’s and ready to start a new training block. I’ve got everything written down for the last three years, so no loss if I “lose” my log over there. Recovery Week reps/sets HB Box Squat - 195lbs 5_3 Bench (from pins) - 185lbs 1_5 Deadlift - 360lbs 1\*5 Hammer Curls - 50lbs 10\*3 I’m tired from travel, competing, and inadequate food. It’s nice that this week is “do your own thing”. Bike Sprints - level 10 /12 / 14 / 16 / 18 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off ---

Looks like we’re both easing back into things, BD/PD. My back is still bothering me a little bit but not enough to stop me from training. I’ll start keeping a codger’s quest log here with a slightly different user name. ---

Quick reps within the sets. Tried to superset the Bench with the Row…disasterous. Hands are a little raw after all the pulling. ---

I can hit depth much easier using this bar for some odd reason. Bench was fatiguing, again. I’m not cool with that at these weights. Block Pulls were a study in patience. I need to treat them like Sumo Deads, they’re gonna be slow off the blocks, but they will come up. ---
