^ha, oh man. I dont get any sleep attacks (yet...). He likes to sleep by my feet. Sometimes he’ll plop onto my actual pillow above my head and share the pillow with me. Lately he has been sleeping in other parts of the house and now i miss it lol.

And he is definitely handsome!

adopted him at 4mo old! He's very chill. i can hold his paws and he wont pull them away, it feels really nice pressing into his "palm" and feeling his toes spread out and claws protract.
kinda trained him not to playbite and grab human hands. he still does it every now and then, but much less so, and is extremely gentle with his play biting with my hands now if it does it.

and yes, he purrs like a motor  ;D

So I thought I was running out of time, but it turns out I left the gym an hour early... pretty annoying, but maybe this little "de-load" will turn out to be beneficial.
Squats felt weaker, RDLs got stronger.

In other news, I got my first cat.

Awesome to see my lifts keep going up! Hoping to squat 315x10 soon after which I think I should cut. Abs, though looking softer, are still visible. My main issue is putting on weight on my face which I hate

Added some volume with more lunges and goodmornings since I couldn't deadlift much without my straps

Didn't have time to do my back on my last upper body day, so I threw in a little back work today since I don't plan on doing upper body tomorrow.
Saved shrugs and calves for tomorrow - short on time today since I threw in back work.

Man I need to get to the gym earlier. Always short on time!

I used the weird 90lbs dumbells for back up sets... it'll do. Strange to lift with them but hopefully when I can knock out 12+ reps with them, I can be consistent with sets of 5+ on the 100's.

Ran out of time. My gym's closed sundays so i dont know if i'll be able to do back. Maybe i can lift with my friend at his gym

^^^ That's why I don't do 4 sets of 12 anymore or whatever. It's always something like 12-10-8-6 with a RIR of 1 on each set. I realized one day that if I do 4x12, then I have so much more left in the tank in the first couple of sets and maybe I'm not stimulating my muscles as much anymore

however i do want to switch up my training and add more high volume accessory work, especially while on my bulk currently. so thanks for making this thread!
