* bw at gym 206lb. had more carbs again before the 495 workout. 2 cups white rice and plenty of fruits. frozen pineapple this time. worked as planned. 495 was still not very fast but there was no sticking point. been skipping the 2-hand rows. there is some discomfort on my left shoulder probably from the vertical pulling volumes and i want all to be normal before i start with heavy weights again. the single arm rowing is not so bad.

* 200g+ of carbs in the morning post workout to try again if i can do a good 495 at lunch at 202lb dry bodyweight in the morning. got the 495 but it was slow. will get it again later if i eat and sleep well but most likely it will also be a crawl. will skip it later and do the 495 again on afternoons as scheduled. a few more workouts of skipped heavy rowing to fully recover my left elbow. nothing injured. just a little muscle strain.

* been avoiding the bw chins because the multi-day routine is not enough to stop the accumulation of fatigue to my lowerback (to support/balance my legs). will try a good tip for a gym regular. assisted with the footrest support just enough to not tire my back supporting my weight, but also not heavy enough that it is crushing my core to push me up. 30 seems like a good number.

* happy keeping my bw at low 200s lean. started increasing white rice. limited it to 1/2 cup per meal during the cutting diet. going 1.5-2 cups pass few meals and felt good already this morning. i do a few singles of bw squats holding on/pulling on a waist high barbel (usually at the spotters location on flat bench). i can tell using that simply stretch if my legs are go or no-go.
* strong on 495 at this weight but definitely not overpowering it enough to get a triple paused compared to my peak.

* used a fixed 20lb bb for my situps instead of holding 2 stacks of 10lb and the movement felt even better. focusing on more ab definition because i can see the effects fast at this 202lb very lean bw. i have also been consistent on doing a vertical pull using the neutral grip attachment and seating on the floor (at the tricep pushdown on the cable station). this vertical pulling is not adding fatigue to my back because i figued out that if i keep my base/feet close together and tucked in like on a bottom of squat, i can pull do some pulling painfree. weight maxes at 140lb before it pulls me up.

* this routine is working and has been reliable/repeatable without getting my broken for weeks now even with the downsized bw. i wanted to experiment again with the seated lat pulldown but don't want to risk straining my lowerback. i do my vertical pulling with my lowerbody tucked in like in a bottom of a full squat and brace from there. same thinking on forms applies to my seated veritcal pushing. knees close together and feet tip-toed to have a good brace between quads and belly.

* im maintaining the 204lb bw for weeks now. have to lower intensity of the shoulder pressing to get more freshness to my core. i'm getting tired of making sure everything is spot on just to get a 495 in the afternoon. will deload the shoulder pressing until i feel strong again for a 495x2-3. i won't rep it but just having reserves for it makes my routine a lot easier.

* already a lot stronger in the squats by lowering intensity on the shoulder pressing. i like how my shoulders look from the constant volumes of shoulder pressing so i will find a way to get a good shoulder workout in without killing my core.

* until i figure out a good routine for my shoulder pressing, i will spend a few workouts with this bare minimum loading to my push exercise. thinking it will be in the high sets of doubles or triples.

* might leave the loading of the shoulder press to 125 and start building up my tricep bench press again and use that as my heavy movement.

* back tightness is not going away fast enough. too much crushing fatigue from using 185+ on the seated shoulder pressing volumes. replaced exercise with inclined bench press. i prefer the landmine press but too many people are using it and prefer not to waste time waiting on it.
