Wrestling, 8 (I think) rounds with a friend who has 20 lbs on me. I won 3-5 (donāt remember)

power (?) clean, singles to 125 lbs
(felt like setting a pr soo)
Deadlifts, singles up to a PR , 300 lbs
Jumped to 320 (only had 290 lbs that could fit on the barbell, so had to add dumbells. only had 5 or 15 lb dbs, so I had to jump to 320), couldnāt budge it
Done.
Almost there, if not there
I can push press 115 lbs for reps. So 15 lbs off if I was talking about push pressing (I donāt remember)

Squat- 1*20 @ 75 lbs
Weighted pullups- 3x5 @ bw+15 lbs
Press- 4x5 @ 55 lbs / RDF- 4x10/arm @ 15 lbs
Press- 4x10 @ 55 lbs / RDF- 2x10/arm @ 15 lbs, Lateral raises- 2x10/arm @ 15 lbs, dropped to 10 lbs on 2nd set (short on time)
Human stone loads 2x1 to a low platform (bed) @ 80 lbs (hard af, having a twitchy human really didnāt help)
Shoulders/traps dead
This is hilarious and awesome
improvisation at itās finest
and thereās built in progressive overload too (abit slow- like 3 lbs a year slow)
Weighted pullups would be a handy tool. Worked up to 3 reps before cutting it out.
This log isnāt dead
Yea- I have to find a good way to load them though (limited to a backpack, or holding a db between my feet. One causes hamstring cramps, the other probably canāt support much weight)
Notes to log- Something is making my hamstrings sore. Probably the new way Iām using to load the weighted pullups (db inbetween legs). Also could be front squats, or me damn near dive bombing the eccentric on 20 rep squats.
Work on another skill after I get the one arm pullup (free handstand?)
Run a variation of Guaranteed Muscle Mass the last 7 weeks of the T-ransformation
Thinking of doing a PL meet in December or January
*Edit- you here to stay? according to @flipcollar, you ācomes and goes in random threads, drops his fucking bombs, and disappears.ā
Try to find a couple feet of small chain and a carabineer. Works for a make shift weight belt pretty well, from a hardware store you should be able to get it for like $3-4 if thatās an option for ya.
Won my division in piano yesterday- will link the video when it goes up
Walked away with 30 bucks (but the entrance fee was 25+25ā¦)
good idea. Iāll add that to my wish list.
Power rack (doubt this is happening anytime soon)
More plates
Kettlebell
Chain/carabiner
Sandbag
Medicine ball
Ab wheel
Jump rope
Better db handles
Straps
Bands (are bands worth it yet?)

Squat- 5x5 @ 135 lbs
5 chins inbetween sets
Notes: I dislike squatting
Squats- Singles to a PR, 195 lbs. Had to grind it out of the hole for about 4 seconds- interesting experience
Right glute feels a bit weird after that
*Common theme- In the interest of not dying, I attempt squat/bench PRs when I have friends over
*Note to log- there is actually a ābody pressureā rather than just a āhead pressureā from squatting past 185

pushups, bench dynamic warmup from this article + sevend presses
Barbell row- 3x5 @ 105
Bench- 3x5 @ 105
Cushioned oblique crunches off bench, balance by holding onto bar 5/side
10 plate touches w 25 lb plate (ground-overhead) (try mountain climbers next time)
Called inside
Note- I zerchered the bar from ground-bench for barbell row/bench. Made it take longer than lower body workouts
Oblique crunches off bench actually trashed abs pretty good. just a bit painful on the hips
Tried constant tension BB hacks- dicking around with possible assistance/accessory exercises for future programs- felt meh. bar occasionally hit ankles/upper hammies
