Was not feeling too strong today. Might be because I've been slacking on protein this week, but also because I jumped up in weight very fast the past week or so and now I'm at my "real" maxes. The gains are no doubt slowing down now!

Here is the gym I am lifting at. I hated it at first but had to make do, especially since a ton of the dumbells are missing. And the A/C doesn't work most days I'm there, so it's pretty hot in there.

But every day I love it more and more:

looks pretty nice! i'd rather go to a gym like that than some globo commercial gym.

the AC not working could be a good thing. Some boxing gym i used to go to way back actually turned the heat on some days etc, (even when it was hot as fu*k out), hardcore gym. training in there was epic.

Yeah im really liking the hot temp while lifting, probably moreso than room temp now. Freezing commercial gyms are the worst!
The more i think about it, the more i realize my only real issue with the gym is a missing 25lb dumbell, 30lb, 40lb, and then sets of 35’s, 45’s, 50’s, 55’s

Looking to build my home gym soon anyway with a DIY platform. Any ideas on a decent power cage? My company has a 50% fitness subsidy that caps at $500/year. Rather use that for equipment every year instead of a gym membership!

ah that's cool, the 50% subsidy.

i got my powertec rack for ~550 way back. thing has been through several hurricanes and been outside for like 12 years. still in great conditions.

just need a heavy duty steel rack. don't need to go crazy though. i'd def get one w/ pullup/dip attachments.

ive seen some @ local sporting goods store, even cheaper now, and with more features. seem solid. if you have any places nearby, go check some out in person.

pc!

Wanted to switch back to 7x5 mondays and 8x4 thursday for the bench. but alas, my right shoulder is bothering me so i cut it short today. last time this happened to me i was lifting 6x a week (like now) so my shoulder girdle is getting worked 4x a week (two push and two pull days), plus high intensity and volume on the bb bench. No good. pain went away last time with some rest.

so I think it's time i switch to body recomp and throw in a lot of fasting while lowering the volume on bench work. really want to just switch 100% to dumbells, but my gym is missing so many of them. don't have 80's, 95's, etc.

thinking of maybe doing an upper/rest/lower/rest split, with a ton of fasting on rest days.

Switched to an upper/lower split. I want to say I'm doing a body recomp now with a lot of fasting... but I keep eating a lot. Weigh 195.6lbs dry fasted.

Was running out of time before work, so I skipped the extra BW chin ups and T-bar rows

The dumbell situation is very annoying. 100's are too heavy for me right now. There are no 95's. One out of the two 90's is bent, and a different shaped dumbell altogether. I'm also missing a 70, an 80 I think, etc, so I have to drop to 60's after the 100's lol.
Don't want to go back to barbell benching. DB's feel SO much better on my shoulders, even with the too-heavy 100's!

Tried out neutral grip db shoulder presses. Didn't like them at all. They target my front delts a ton, but i want to target my lateral delts

Oh yeah, re-gains are a real thing! neural efficiency comes back quicker if you had it before, i guess.
getting to a 405 single might take quite a while though... i can do it fast if i get fat and squat 3x/week, but i dont want to get fat and don't want to spend too much time in the gym. or maybe i should smolov jr my way back up there quick and maintain? hmmm
