BW = 174.5
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate

- warm up
included a couple of rounds of knockout. nothing gets me quite as hyped for jumping as that.

- DLRVJ x 8-10
best 33.5, a few 32.5-33, rest 31-32. the 33.5 was the highest jump i've had since may. every other jump felt good.

- squat 310 x 5,5,3
rep PR, obviously. last rep on second set was grindy but not terrible. might have had one more on the third set but it would have been ugly. also, i was a little worried about depth but had one of my oly lifting friends watch the second set and she confirmed that i'm going way below parallel. no problems.

- pull up +10 x 10+3+2
damn it

- dip +50 x 10+3+3

- SS1: hyperextension x 10
- SS1: GHR situp x 10
- SS1 info: 3 rounds, no rest between exercises, one minute between rounds.

- calf raise 135 x 16
arthritis makes it hard to keep balance when plantar flexed. still, this was harder than it should have been.

- curlzzzzzz 20 x 10e

- tricep cable pull down 100 x 10

- stretch

good workout. pleased. 174.5 is the most i've weighed this year, i'm pretty sure. that's surprising because i was away last weekend at a wedding and was puking up my guts all saturday morning. i have a weird reaction to alcohol sometimes; i wasn't especially drunk on friday but as soon as we got back to the hotel i threw up and then i was terribly hung over the next morning. every once in a while that just seems to happen but other times i'm totally fine. i can't figure out what makes the difference there. anyway, guess the milkshakes have helped. also, i found a gym very near the beach that has a squat rack, so i will get in a workout or two next week while on vacation.

also, my pants felt a little tight today and my vanity is kicking in and telling me my belly fat is spilling over more. this is absurd, as i'm not more than ~11% bf and i can still see my abs and veins in my lower abs. i'm not going to let that stop me from chowing down over the next two days, just noting it.

three plates on thursday. come on now.

With the dips you've got the strength you just need the endurance, which is only a matter of practicing doing bodyweight dips more often.

at beach in NC now. been getting in lots of low-to-moderate intensity exercise (swimming, tennis, walking, driving range, etc.) eating, and relaxing. been trying to keep calories up but it's fucking vacation so i'm not tracking. so far, so awesome.

gym tomorrow, will see about hitting 3x5x315. at least one brother might come with, which would be fun.

BW = ???
SORENESS = right rear shoulder, bicep, and wrist extensors
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low to moderate

- warm up

- squat 315 x 5,5,2

- hanging leg raise x 10

- stretch

had to make it a quick run to the gym in part because i had trouble finding the place. damn google maps. no idea about bw but based on ab definition i'd guess i'm a little bit lighter than last week. kind of mad about the squatting but whatever, i'm on vacation. hitting all five reps on the second set is an improvement, and i think i'm closer to 170 than 175, so there's that.

brothers didn't end up coming, hoping to go again with one or both tomorrow.

Bad luck man, was it just fatigue? Going for a heavy 3x5 would be pretty mentally draining for me.

yes, fatigue probably a major factor. i've been really tired the past two days, don't know why. vacation hangover? dunno. speaking of which, it's time for bed...

will go for 305 on wednesday and then 315 again this weekend. i've finally switched to whole milk, too. not sure what took me so long. let the eating continue.

BW = 178 PR
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right wrist (?)
FATIGUE = moderate

- warm up
tied all-time PR on DSVJ, 32.5

- DLRVJ x 6
peaked at 34, a recent PR, hit ~33 on most other jumps. yes. got high enough to dunk a dodgeball but failed to hold on.  :uhhhfacepalm:

- squat 315 x 5,5,5
YES MOTHERFUCKER YES

- ab pull down x 20

- OHP 95 x 10+3+3+3

- chin up x 10+3+3+3

- walk home

- stretch

ETA: can still see abs blurrily, more or less the same as they've been for a long while now. that's kind of surprising to me but maybe it shouldn't be. i've only gained like 5 pounds over my previous equilibrium point. weight is hard to compare with other measurements because i took it at a different time of day, different meal schedule, etc. still, that's the highest i've ever measured.
