* started the daily 495 last oct 25, making this day almost 4 months now. thats 1/4 of a year done. thats a good milestone if i can keep up with this bw and not get very fat. my blood pressure is still good at 90/60s so no worries staying at close to 210bw. i don't take any blood pressure medicine to keep it this low. i just spent the most of my teens to twenties doing distance running.

afternoon

Rows seated row machine 235-250-265x3
Calves seated calf raise 3x45lb,+25lb,+45lbx3 rest

* was planning on doing the calf raises after the standing cable face pulls but burned my legs planting on that rowing movement. skipped calves. i'm not going to make any big progress in weight on my other exercises so il keep doing these triples for a few more weeks, then go heavier with doubles if that works.

afternoon

* probably not a good idea to 2 workouts with backoffs on the same day. will see if i can recover with 8hr+sleep and very good diet. shoulder pressing with 185 also gave me a beating on the 3rd rep. this might go downhill fast tmrw.

* did not fatigue much from yesterday so i did it again. the shoulder press machine with 185 is getting a little easier but not by much. just very happy that i'm not fatiguing my lowerback this time. the resets and mindful arching of the lowerback is very helpful. no pain at all even with some crawling 3rd rep on some days.

* getting consistent with the unsupported cable face pull using rope. all are about face height but i adjust the notches 1 up and 1 down just to hit all the angles. feel good soreness on the upper rhomboids/lower traps. all good. i prefer to not overdevelop the shrug-affected area of the traps.

* failed the 3rd rep of 185 on seated shoulder press machine. did not recover enough from yesterdays volume. seated machine rowing now at full stack 295 and i still got to pause/squeeze at the top ROM. can add another 10lb using the moveable plates but this is already a very good top set.

afternoon
Squats 315-405-495, 475x3

* bad idea to use 185 this morning. the last morning had a 185x3. first rep was already very slow. did not even bother with a 2nd and burnout my back. will slowly add more intensity to the facepulls. weight is already maxed out so will increase volume.

* calf raises still shot even with a day off. the standing unsupported rope pulls are adding lots of fatigue. that and the two set of triples last sunday. 475x4 a little better compared to last time i did it. still not confident enough to try for 5th rep because the 4th already slowed down more than i wanted.

* i was not able to take a vid because the gym was packed and my camera had no good spot. it will just get trampled too. il get a vid in the next few days after i feel how much fatigue this triple will add.

Rows seated row machine 235-250-265x3, 280-295x2
Calves seated calf raise 3x45lb,+25lb,+45lbx3 rest

* skipped the shoulder press to get my core fresher for later. i will attempt another 495x3 if everything feels good.

noon
Squats 315-405-495, 495x3
Shoulders seated shoulder press machine 140-155-170x3, 185-200x2 | standing cable face pull-rope 100-100x5
Rows seated row machine 235-250-265x3, 280-295x2
Calves seated calf raise 3x45lb 3x3 sets

* 495x3 was stronger the first time i did it. i still got a decent 3rd rep but you can tell that my form was beat.
* i'm always skipping a calf day because i can't recover fast enough from my routine. il try this one now. lower weight with 3x45lb but with higher volumes to 5 reps and consistent 2-3 sets a workout. i could have added another plate on top but it just fatigues me too fast even with doubles only.

495x3

* legs felt alright. will only go 495 doubles when i feel strong. no need to add too much fatigue and rep a third with compromised form.

* summer weather high 60s this noon. felt like a very good day to be lifting but cannot lift well because the triple yesterday added too much fatigue. i cannot even double the 200 on the seated overhead press. don't want to grind a rep so stopped at a single. will skip afternoon workouts because i feel tired.

* felt so much better after my afternoon nap. gym goes indoors again tmrw after our county covid guidelines allowed them again to reopen indoor activities. reserved an 11am. the one close by does not have the free weight until thursday but will have a better 5pm-9pm operating hours this time. the one with the elieko plates (24hr fitness) only allows a 1x per day 90min workout with reservation. i prefer to use the one closer to me with the red vtx plates. (the one im going now outdoors)

* used the elieko plate gym on noon workout. don't like that 24hr fitness is limiting to 1 workout per day with only a 60min time slot. adding more of the vertical pulling because the machines are available again.

* did a quick 30 min workout at 5am during a break at work. the gym opens indoors now and it's not very busy at opening time. skipped the heavy doubles because those takes 3min+ rest before the next set.

* thought id be lifting a lot better indoors but it felt the same. my legs are weaker lately coming from the monday heavy triples. it added so much fatigue.

* can go to gym now at 5am opening time and do a blitz 20min routine during break at work. form on the vertical pulling feels very good. the machine top out at 18 but using 16 and heavier starts to tire my legs and back a lot because it pulls me up too much and i spend more energy just keeping myself planted to the seats.

thanks vag. i'm sure that if you've been using a top daily single consistently for 17 weeks multiple times a day, there is a very good chance you can triple that weight on a good day.
