1/11/16 Monday BW=167.0

b-ball 1.5 hours
2x10 pull ups
4x25 push ups

1/13/16 Wednesday BW=166.4

b-ball 1.5 hours

1/14/16 Thursday BW=166.8

push ups 4x25
paused squat 6x135, 3x185, 2x205, 1x225, 3x10x210, 10x185

Been playing basketball and doing some push ups. Feeling slow but solid, nothing nagging.

Squats felt so solid tonight. Stamina felt great until the last set, I will need to work up to 20x185. Probably should drop weight down and get it done, then build up.

The last week has been challenging. Trying to get back into the groove. Basketball and cardio are coming back, weights are still a-miss.
My body loses fitness like lightning and makes progress at continental drift. Granted training is far from a priority and much less then ideal.
Good news is lots of room for improvement. I am going to focus on getting my reps up on my squat, as well as the weight. nice and simple.
2 or 3 days a week of basketball depending how I am feeling. No more upper body weights, just body weight movement when time allows.
More sleep and keep my diet in check a little bit better. Plus just keep on grinding.

^^^^My upper back is tight when unracking and through the first few reps. I lose it and things go funky once I get gassed.
My current problem is I get gassed very easily, even with weight that should be light for me. My body and mind are not working well together.
This winter I can't seem to get my body warmed up and my mind focused for progress, It gets frustrating and that starts the downward spiral.

1/2/16 Saturday BW=165.4

jump squat 5x45, 5x95
paused squat 2x185, 1x225, 1x235, 4x235, 5x225, 7x205
barbell lunge 3x6x205

Today is no different, can't get my mind/body in a lifting zone.

12/29/15 Tuesday BW=166.0

jump squat 5x45, 5x95
paused squat 2x185, 1x225, 3x5x225, 1x4x225, 1x5x225

peaks and valleys. some days I wonder why I even bother.

I can't seem to keep my upper back tight and my spine neutral through the lift. When things are going good I feel locked and can actually progress. other days not so much.

On a positive note it was actually better then last Saturday.

Only the SL bound video worked for me.

Placing the video in the comedy section is being a little rough on yourself.

12/23/15 Wednesday BW=163.4

jump squat 5x45, 5x95
paused squat 2x185, 1x225, 1x240, 4x240, 2x7x225
barbell lunge 3x6x205

12/26/15 Saturday BW=?

paused squat 2x185, 1x225, 1x235, 1x245, 1x225, 3x5x205
bench 3x185, 3x205, 2x5x200, 2x4x200
overhead press 4x8x100
bar pull 4x8xbw


My body is feeling the best it has in probably 1.5 years or more. I am eating horribly lately and I have felt slow and sluggish.

Wednesday I was able to get a couple more reps on my squat, but today felt horrible. At least I know it is not for lack of calories or rest.

12/18/15 Friday BW=163.5

b-ball 1.5 hours

12/19/15 Saturday BW=162.4

jump squat 5x45, 5x95
paused squat 2x185, 1x225, 1x235, 1x245, 7x255 MSEM
barbell lunge 4x6x205
bench 4x5x205, 4x205

I started off this morning feeling drained and beat up from last week.
Lifting alone in the cold of my garage is difficult sometimes. Seems like I can't push myself to move heavier weight most of the time. Tonight everything seem to click.
Recently I haven't had the gas to move 240, tonight 245 seemed light, so I moved on to 255 for MSEM. Thats 15#'s since last MSEM session. When small increases in weight seem difficult for me this is major. So much of progress is mental for me. My body is getting stronger but my mind is weak.

^^^^ thanks Vag. You are my role model.  :highfive:

12/11/15 Friday BW=162.6

b-ball 1.5 hours
paused squat 3x135, 2x185, 1x225, 1x235, 5x235, 5x225, 5x225

Friday felt like progress, my form was locked in and I felt a bit more explosive than normal. I couldn't get the last rep on the bench press today, and had to wriggle out from under a load bar alone in my garage. suck.

Super-solid.

super-slow progress > no progress

^^^^ holidays for my family seems to focus around inactivity and food. The food just so happens to be too good to eat in moderation.

jump squat 5x45, 5x95
paused squat 3x135, 2x185, 1x225, 1x235, 1x235, 2x7x210

went for 4x235, not even close tonight. I played my 1.5 hours of basketball yesterday after a brief absence, and it gassed me. I take it pretty darn easy and it still seems like it is too much some times?
