Continuing my journey... Simply Jacked

Thanks! I am finally pretty much back up to my weights I was at before vacation. Took about 6 weeks to work back up. Was on a cut 4 weeks of that and just not feeling it plus fucking around with rp physique and 531 BBB trying to find what I liked.

Went back to my old tried and true gzclp programming that I was seeing good gains on the last 2 weeks and started eating at maintenance and am feeling great!

I am excited that my estimated 1 rep on bench is finally 135!! I can’t wait to test that!

9/6 147 incline walking 6% @3.2 just for 1 episode of bleach.

9/7 146 today is heavy squat volume bench.

I am finally going to try… 135 for reps. Been a mental block. Only did 2 reps last time I tried 135 months ago. But… I completed 130 for 5x3 with 5 reps. So… I should be able to do 135 right?!

Will log tonight

I just want to say that sets of 3x10 squats are getting HARD! Deadlifts, no problem. bench, sure why not? Ohp, well these are always a grind but weight only goes up once or twice every 3 weeks. Squats however… 3x10 at 105 (highest weight I have ever done for this volume) really took alot out of me. It was more work than any thing else I have ever done… I had to mentally prepare for each rep after the first 5 and for each set after the first set. Was not ready for that today.

9/20 143.4 rest today.

I am thinking about…going to the gym more often.

I like my current program that’s EOD lifting.
Thinking I won’t change it but… I will cut to the accessory work out and do them of what would other wise be off or cardio days. Like my triceps/face pulls and abs, and biceps/shoulders.

Also… Thinking those day I add in more body weight work. Pull ups, push ups, jump squats, ans, lunges, split squats, Swiss ball leg curls (or maybe working up to some Nordic curls) ect.
