Thur Mar 19

afternoon
Squats 315-365-405, 405-405x1

Fri Mar 20

afternoon
Squats 315-365-405-455, 405-405x1
Rows seated row 150-170-190x2

* used a different gym. had to book my time because there a limited slots available for distancing. worked out very well for me. this work gym has very good equipment but on a very small area. legs  still tired but was able to get a 455 without any problem. rows using magnum bar grip felt very good.

Rows seated row 160-180-180-180x2
Pulldown 135-150-150-150x2

* still not going 455 to freshen up more. the pulling i did with double arm is with the mag grip attachments. motion feels very good with these.

* figured out that the lack of center knurl on the squat bar is throwing my form off. the last 2 singles of 405 became very easy the moment i focused on pushing the bar to my traps. it will be a good day tmrw.

* kept it very minimum today to freshen up for the next days. goal is to get to 455 on back to back days at least. bw and sleep is good. exercise selection is also good. just a lot of fatigue from the last bouts of repeated 445 backoffs.

* legs starting to feel a lot better now. could have done 455 but another skip day just to be sure i don't do too much to soon.

Rows one arm cable upright 50-60-60-60x2, 60x5

* had to bold the 455 because its something special again. the rep felt alright but still not very explosive. will ride out this fatigue wave. if it doesn't get any better, then it must be the setup. no wood floor, no knurl and fancy elieko bar etc...

* empty BW at 202lb. thats an almost 6-8lb swing in half a week. i'm full of water. my squat is not that bad. il max at 425-440 if the setup feels right. the lack of center knurl is messing up my form. if i forcefully push the bar high up my traps, i load my quads better and it becomes a totally easier movement. can't complain. this fight club gym is the only thing i have for the next couple of months.
* new treadmill so don't really know if the 4 is 4% or a level 4 incline. felt steep enough but my heart rate was not climbing to the 130s.
* added the cardio and the abs routine again. i'm coming out of this quarantine ripped.

* added 225-275 to the warmup to get the reps smoother faster. the 405 is still not very heavy but il be going all out to get a 440. 425 is still ok. months ago, a 455 would still be a warmup single at 210+bw. i'm 198-202 right now waking up.
* have the apple watch for almost a week now to track heart rate. numbers looking good with still a lot of fat left to burn. im 198lb 12-15%right now. il be in the 8-10%BF at low 190s/high 180s

* getting consistent now on cardio and keeping a target of about 75-80%HR 15mins daily. i tried doing a 5mph with the same 5% incline walking pace for a few minutes and it was getting too intense for my goals. 4.2-4.3 is a good leisure pace without it feeling like a near max effort in a matter of minutes.
* squats still alright even at 198lb. when i was strongest, i was still able to get 445 at 170lb bw. its not a daily routine but still a good benchmark.

* removed cardio. bw steady at 194-196 so i started eating a little more rice. felt very good and added a little backoff 315x3. the double arm rowing i'm doing is using a spiralstrength grip and it also feels very good on the mid back contraction. grip is awesome too.

* gym owner explained to me that the spiral handles attachment hit the back better because it disengages your arms by taking your little two fingers out of the gripping. i can see how that helps but didn't know from all the years i spent doing rows that a simple grip modification makes so much difference. rowing to target the right muscles is a lot more complicated than the squat.
* also found a way to use a 1:1 weight stack using the latpulldown instead of the cable crossover station for my rows.

* inclined pressing weak because of the added dips. dips hit triceps more so i like adding them for the summer lean look.

accumeasure caliper at 5mm (8%BF). 196lb. added progress pic because next week will be the 8th week of the leaning down. il slowly go up to maintenance calories again ~ 2700-2900kcal. cant find a good before pic but this one looks like im really bloated. posing with mini-me

* been doing the weighted abs more frequently now so added them back to the log. squat routine getting quicker now because i don't rest as long anymore. feeling a lot stronger when i'm not in a big calorie deficit. will go straight to 315 tmrw.

* felt strong on the squats and decided to go 315x10. i could have done 425 today but still don't feel like doing very heavy on this setup. the lack of bar knurl is messing with my form. if i explode very quickly at the hole from the pause, the bar rolls out of position. wanted to bring my own center knurled bar but all sources are still out of supply.
