* got another heavier than usual 495 at home.  back tightness not noticeable anymore (got it from un-supported cable rows) on the squat walkouts. still bothering me a little because i don't feel 100% yet. did some very light overhead pressing on my cable station. i'm ending this year strong. no more stupid routine and get my body broken again. stick to what works.

Calves seated calf raise 2x45lb+25lb 5x3 sets

* skip the chest press machine at gym. want to get my back to 100% soon. squat is normal now but i can still feel the tenderness on a little lowerback muscle (which i broke doing volumes of unsupported rows, without doing any "learning" routine first).

noon
Squats 315-405-495
Rows double arm cable rows 175-190 5x8 sets | one arm rows 20-30-40 5x1 sets

Calves seated calf raise 2x45lb+25lb 5x3 sets rest
 
* squat felt very good. no trace of back issues anymore. then i messed it up a little on the 190x5 chest press. should have skipped it. back got very little feeling of tenderness on that last 190x5. nothing that will carry over to the next workout but still annoying.
* added very light overhead pressing on machine. this tenderizes my back for sure but kept it very light and will slowly build up the intensity. i was already at 150+ x5s when i was doing them but they are very taxing to the core.

* been taking off days from work on saturdays but this week i had to work all 4 days. i was not very tired but lifting heavy is going to challenge my recovery a lot more. there is also a line to use the only platform. guy using was kind enough to let me work in. didn't want to mess up his rest routine so i just started to warmup with 405. the next 405 was the workout.

late afternoon home gym
Squats 225-315-365-405-495x1
Rows one arm cable rows 20-30-40 5x1 sets

* bar is very nice. i was still recovering from sleep and was just taking it easy trying out if the 405 would still be quick. not so bad so tried the 495. it was heavy but there is no sticking point like the last time i did 495 at home. very happy with my bar. i will get 495 a lot better than this rep after i recover sleep.

495 at home with new eleiko bar

* windy but a lot warmer 58F this morning. felt very good considering the other morning workout were mid 40s. was expecting to get 495 because of very good sleep and diet. my core is not solid. the high volumes of rows yesterday added too much fatigue. might still be recovering at noon but will try to get that done. 

noon outdoor gym

Shoulders seated chest press machine 130-145-160-175-190 5x1 sets

* 495 not very easy but also not a back breaker. skipped the calf raise. too many people in that area. did another high volume rowing. feeling very good on the DOMs on my mid back. this machine hits the right spot.

late afternoon at outdoor gym
Squats 315-365-405-495x1

* semi heat wave and it was 70s at noon and high 60s in the late afternoon. back a little tight from the rowing but not that part of the back that stabilizes the squat.
* my eleiko bar gets delivered this coming friday. can't wait to see if thats the missing piece of my setup.

* felt very good this morning but a couple got to the only platform before me. had to do my other exercise. don't feel like pushing 495 when i'm not fresh.

noon outdoor gym

Calves 2x45lb, 2x45lb+25lb, 3x45lb 5x1 sets

* forced to use the regular plates for the squats and the 495 felt uncomfortable. had a little grind but not because it was heavy. it was just not moving smoother. something with the center of mass and bumper plates makes the lift feel easier to me.

495 at garage gym. felt very heavy.  :(
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxHPD5uPU7o" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxHPD5uPU7o</a>

i'm so close in purchasing an eleiko bar. i've been using a non-elieko bar at the other gym and the 495 also doesn't feel this heavy. i don't know what brand the other oly bar is but there is also a chance that its an above average bar. the vtx bumpers i'm using on the other gym are very pricey so i can assume that the bar is also expensive.

fukit. il just buy the eleiko bar while it's still available. i should have no problem reselling these cheaper fringe/rep fitness bars since they are out of stock.

* the end again due to covid. hoping that it takes them only a couple of days to setup the outdoor type gym with the equipment i use. i don't see a platform being moved outside but i'm hoping for the best.  i will try to get a 495 at home. been cutting back on intensity of the other exercises to get fresher. 
* its been 1 month a 4 days since Oct 26, to now Nov 30 that i lifted at least a 495 everyday, or multiple times on most days.

this gym is 1hr away from me but 24 hr fitness is slowly converting to outdoor gym with very limited daytime time reservations only. il get my squat and tan at the same time.

Shoulders inclined bench press 135-155 5x1 sets

* yey. it was a struggle but got 495 on a cold morning. heating up the garage very well before lifting helped a lot. even the platform felt better. will get 495 again later if my back does not feel beat. legs always weakest and uncoordinated in the mornings.

* that 495 got me tired. probably will not get 455 either. there is no pain or injury. the 495 rep just took to long and tire my core. rest for now.

late afternoon at home
Squats 315-365-405
Rows upright rows 25 5x1 sets | one arm rows 30-50 5x1 sets
Shoulders inclined bench press 135 5x1 sets

* squat felt better than the noon workout. could get 455 but not solid enough for 495. i will try for 495 at noon tmrw and not mess it up again by going all out in a cold morning routine. just placed an order for an eleiko performance bar. got no excuse now. the garage gym floor felt better after i blasted the space heater facing it. if it still feels heavier when im using the eleiko bars, then for sure the gym plates are lighter.

* got the 495 again and it was barely a little easier than the last time here at home. the gym 505 did not get my core tight. i'm probably exerting at least a 515-520 compared to the gym lift. good news are my eleiko bar is on the way, and the gym opens tmrw as outdoor for now. will pass by later and see if they moved the platforms out. stopped the 495 counter already. the bench pressing probably did not help also with my core tightness.

* not very strong with the 495 because of lack of complete sleep. work side of the week. can't complain. it was not a back breaker. theres a 10lb green before the 35lb blue at the tip of the bar. not enough 45lb plates outside.

* did the heavy bw chins then to the one arm pulling with the high pulls then mid pulls. don't feel like going to the outdoor gym. it's very cold outside. resting squat. exerted more than i planned last workout. i always do 5 reps on the exercise but don't track the sets. i do them for 30-45 mins averaging a good 6-8, sometimes 10 sets on a good day a workout. i do at least 4 sets each exercise.

* the 1/day reservation is back on the 24hr fitness gym. will use the workouts in the morning at this gym because it opens early at 5am. the other gym will take care of the other 2 workouts. added machine overhead pressing again for more front delt/tricep action but will not go too heavy and eventually fatigue my back again.

* tmrw might be the last day of indoor gyms again due to rising covid cases here in my county. our alert level was increased to the highest tier and now most indoor establishment will be closed. il get my 495 up another 3 tmrw but that 96-100 at home will be very challenging.

the california state raw, drug-tested squat record for 198-pounders aged 35-39 (can't remember whether you're that old yet but in my mind you and i are the same age, so close) is 534.6. for all ages it's 600.8. i'm just saying.

good numbers to aim for. il see if its doable after i know how a 525 feels like. i realize the 505 might feel smooth to me but i see a little correction already on the way up. thats very close to max for me.

* i'm putting more detail on the seated chest press. the weights are ramping to a top set for 5s, then down to somewhat mid-heavy weight going back up again. the other one hand pulling are only listing the weights and 5s per set. i do so many sets jumping back to a pushing then pulling. every weight change in the chest press means i did another set of a one arm rowing.
* the seated chest press machine tops out at 285lb but i rarely use it because the final weight usually sticks to the base and is very hard to get it going.

* volumes of chest pressing last night fatigued me. 495 was heavier than usual. kept it light today with 180 backoffs on the chest pressing for better workout later.

* ran out of blues again and had to go 505 again. prefer to keep it at 495 but the 505 was not bad at all. looks like i could have done another 15-20lb more but not risking it anymore.

* the single arm vertical pulling is tiring my left elbow. decided to use the hoist machine again. form is very good on this. problem happens when intensity goes up. i tire my back. no clear resistance to show because a portion of your bw is part of the load. its the lat pulldown where the whole setup moves.

* gym was very busy this afternoon. the cable stations are all taken. had to do my horizontal pulling on the hoist machine. got up to the 2nd to last stack. movement/ROM feels good but resistance is lacking. gone to max stack on the chest press.

Sun Nov 8

morning
Squats 315-365-405-455x1
Rows one arm rows mid 50-60 5x1 sets | upright rows 25-30-35-40-45 5x1 sets
Shoulders seated chest press machine 150-195 5x1 sets

* totally removed the tricep isolation movements from routine because i can't recover from them. move volumes of the seated chest press using a neutral close grip for more front delts and triceps. vertical pulling every now and then because these also are hard on recovery. i have to keep my lowerback fresh. exercise selection revolves around that.

noon
Squats 315-365-405-455x1
Rows one arm rows mid 50-55 5x1 sets | upright rows 25-30-35-40-45 5x1 sets

* screwed myself with the multi sets of bench press last night. my core felt wobly. need more rest. will try again later.

late afternoon
Squats 315-365-405-495#42
Rows one arm rows mid 50-55 5x1 sets | upright rows 25-30-35-40-45 5x1 sets
Shoulders seated chest press machine 150-270 5x1 sets

* got worried a little bit with fatigue. i was still able to recover and the 495 this afternoon felt routine. not 510 strong but not so bad. the seated chest press has to be my go to shoulder/tricep builder and i need to stick to that routine. i miss doing vertical pulling but those get my core fatigued fast too.

Mon Nov 9

Rows one arm rows mid 50-60 5x1 sets | upright rows 25-30-35-40-45 5x1 sets
Shoulders seated chest press machine 150-225 5x1 sets

* not as strong. the late afternoon 495 has residual fatigue and add that to the first workout of the day after a long night sleep. mid day heavy and a late afternoon maintenance is ideal. this is also a very cold 39F bay area morning. it will get better later.

* took it easy on the intensity of the shoulder work. the 495s are getting heavier and heavier the more i progress on the chest pressing. i've used the full stack of 285x5 days ago. the 195-210 mark is a good maintenance routine. need to freshen up because the work side of the week is coming again. took saturday off. have 4 more days and it will be a 3-week daily 495s (start sun 10/25).

* already felt stronger than usual this afternoon. the chest press intensity fatigues me fast when i go overboard.

* did not even have sleep between this morning workout and yesterday afternoons workout. felt very strong because of a heavy lunch at work. had vegan jambalaya and it was delicious. i always eat the same rice, egg and tilapia fillet. the vegan meal was a good refresher. the lowered intensity of the chest pressing probably did good things too.

noon

* yey. 3hr nap after a long night work and still felt very good with the 495. will take another 3-4 hr afternoon rest for another work night. the lunch time midnight nap during breaks at work is working well for me too.

late afternoon

Shoulders seated chest press machine 150-195 5x1 sets

* another 2.5hr sleep in the afternoon got another routine 495. felt like this is a good top set now. checked my BW and damn, the vegan jambalaya bloated me up to almost 210lb. thats from an empty morning weight of 204lb. no wonder i'm so strong today.

Shoulders seated chest press machine 150-195 5x1 sets | one arm 60 5x1 sets

* not a fluke. i'm still strong this morning. had a good post lunch nap during my work lunch break and it made a big difference. trying to add in a one arm front delts/tricep routine using the same seated chest press machine. using much less weight while getting the same stimulus is very good for fatigue management.

Kill that 500lbs milestone already now that 495 feels routine. Just for logging something > 500  ;D

500 looks ugly :trollface:

* was only planning my usual 495 on a good day top set but the gym ran out of blue plates. i do not have a lot of time because of baby duties so i had to do with whats left. 3 blue, 2 yellow and a green. better than 5 blues and a steel 2.5lb. felt just as heavy as a 495 on a bad day. there is only 1pc of blue plate on vid because the other was stolen. not an even number left.

505lb at 204bw.

* removed the tricep isolations from my routine. the seated chest press machine using a neutral narrow grip does a better job. i just log the weights but the sets i do is done for time. i do a chest press / row combo non stop for 15-60mins or more if im feeling stronger.  the first 15mins of workout is for the squat.
