Pretty much the same on my end on nightly events. Going in I was only at 14 but from the way it was explained I guess my body would catch them before it occur . Which was keeping me from actually getting into a deep sleep.
Or hope that you wonāt need to use the CPAP at all. Thatās a lot of weight. It could be possible
Have zero urge to jump on the treadmill todayā¦

Entered a mental funk regarding my liftingā¦ doing some evaluation at the moment.
Bench: ( slingshot) worked up to 415lbs/188.2kg x3 ā¦ lot of volume on these worked using 5% increments from 60% up to 90% plus set. In retrospect should have stopped on the previous set on these.
Incline DB press: 40/3 @ SW TR 43
JM SSbar Press: well getting stronger on these nothing to write home about. Only mustered 245lbs/111kgs for 9 on finale set. Sorta of chasing a guy I know who did 15 with that weight.
Seal Rows: 5 x 10 @ SW
Band pull aparts: 5 x 20
If no one has picked up on this alreadyā¦ this isnt 5/3/1

SSBAR squat: worked up to a manageable single with 425lbs/192.7 kgs. Probably could have gone up more but I felt that was plenty for the day. Besides I feel that its a good training max ā¦ which I am currently trying to establish on certain movements.
SSBAR GMs: 3 x 5-8 @ SW
Belt squats: 3 x SW for allot
Seated Hamstring curls: 50 total

Iāll be honest based off of how bad people mess up something as simple as 531 . Most people just should not even consider conjugate.
On that note i never understood why in Beyond 531 he talks about trying to integrate max effort to fit into the established protocols.

Had someone in the know look at my bar speed on the dynamic. He is telling me at this point I probably could easily up the weight another 10 pounds. The current issue on doing dynamic work is that i have no true idea what my actual 1 rm is for the main lifts. At the moment i am heavily dependent on using a max calculator. Which in itself can be hit an miss. Considering my intent is trying to work in a specific intensity range.
Dynamic squats: 12 x 2 @ 60%
Speed pulls: 10 x 1 @ SW
Kettle swings: 3 x 20 @ SW
Hyper extensions: Bunch, havenāt done these in years
But if your maxes are calculated off of like a 3 rep max for example, wouldnāt it be pretty accurate more or less?
You strong old bastardā¦rusty my assā¦
Smooth pressing mate! Still kicking ass
Yes your correct and I agree. The problem is I donāt have a true 3rm to work from . What numbers I do have are not on all out sets since i try to leave reps in the tank on most top sets . As it stands im having to base how dynamic numbers on a very rough estimated. Which Iām finding annoying but being that this is dynamic work the key being maintaining a specific bar speed in retrospect itās me being overly uptight.

Thanks ā¦ Well I was just saying that the movement felt very odd . I donāt think i have done a floor press in over 8 years or so.
