I was gone all weekend so last week was cut short. Going to just keep going with the same weight this week since I start peaking next week.

Everything seems back to normal today. Which is good since I have to adjust my training yet again. Going to a wedding this weekend, and it’s about 3 hours from home. We’re leaving Thursday night and won’t be back until Sunday. I’m going to rest tomorrow, then deadlift Thursday morning since I won’t be here Saturday. Next week should be back to the regular schedule.

Had some extra energy at the end of today’s workout, so I tried for 315 since I’d never done it before. It was a grinder, and I think my butt left the bench, but I’ll take it.
What a father’s day weekend. I spent it almost entirely outdoors, doing things for other people. Such is a dad’s life.
I hit my daily minimum on squats, but when I unracked 475, my lower left back was still upset that I abused it making this thing: Solar heater for my swimming pool
It felt like it was going to do bad things if I actually tried squatting that weight, so I stopped there.
On the flip side though, had extra juice this morning while benching, so tried 315 for the first time in my life. I actually got it, so it was nice moral boost to end the session.

Had a half day yesterday, but did I spend it relaxing? Of course not….
Spent the entire afternoon and into the evening starting on a solar pool heater so the wife and kids can use the pool without their lips turning blue. Had little energy this morning. Started my workout, had no go-go juice. I know family responsibilities come before lifting, and I always remember that, but still frustrating when a workout goes to shit.

I did nothing but yoga and light barbell movements today. Between pulling carpet on Wednesday and yesterday’s workout, I’m feeling a bit beat up.
I enjoy doing these but never have since I don’t have a proper leg raise stand at home. This morning, it finally clicked how I could do them. This is incredibly simple, and I don’t know how I didn’t think of this sooner. I just used the dip attachments to hold myself up, and one of the safety pins to prevent my body from swinging around. I could probably put some type of padding on it, but it didn’t bother me enough to warrant it.
Side note, the position and lighting makes my triceps look way better than they actually are, so that’s always a bonus :ms:
