Lol, same.
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Measuring reminder:

Pressed for time. Barely did any worksets, and left off shrugs and calves.

I think smolov jr is just a huge time commitment right now for me. What I can do, though, is add a 3rd day of squatting up to a 90% 1RM which is in addition to my two days of 1-3 sets of 3-6 reps at 80-87% max.

Hoping to get back to db benching 7 reps with 100's. The 100lb dumbells here are clunky so it's a little tougher.
The backup sets of high reps are done paused now so that I can more easily get the 100's off my chest for the first rep of every set. Thinking of also attaching some ankle weights to my elbows so that there's more resistance on my chest without adding resistance to my triceps. Should help with those first rep blast-offs. It's also a nice way to target my chest more without my tris taking over like usual!

Low on time, didnt do my pendlay rows or as many chin ups as I wanted

Upped the volume a little. The db benches with the ankleweights on my biceps/elbows were weird because they were too bulky. Didn't feel natural. Pretty annoying I don't have decent 90lb or 95lb dumbells, because clearly 100's are too heavy for me to make decent use of right now. Maybe I'll have to make do with the 90's until I can manage 5 solid reps with the 100's?

Here are the 90's at my gym. When you pick them up, the bent one rolls in your hand lol. They are slightly different shapes, too:



Here are the 100's. Clunky and tough to get off my chest for the first rep:



I think I'll just have to suck it up and use the 90's for work sets until I am strong enough to consistently hit 5 reps with the 100's for sets.

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

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!

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

man they crush you when you're not adapted yet.
