Time for a few new goals, I guess.

Deadlift 190, current is 190. Yep, not making a goal
Squat 150, current is 140
Decline 130, current is estimated 125, but unproven
Incline 105, current is probably 100
Press 85, current is baaaaarely 80
Push Press 110, current is 102.5

Approach for achieving the above undecided.

Timeline on these goals mate?

3428

Good question. These arenā€™t super ambitious, so probably just a couple months. The press goals are the tougher ones.

Holy balls, I forgot how much that overloaded push pressing just mutilates my neck, traps and rear delts. Spent all day painting a fence for extra fun times.

Watching paint dry sounds fun.

Ugh, another day where I am too tired and not recovered. Show must go on, but went into this today on pure auto-pilot again. So I still have no specific plan, just making sure I am doing work until I figure it out. Results were still okay, but I hated every minute of it today. Use TM style just to have some structure, but obviously thatā€™s too easy for Press, so I added jokers and made the backoff tougher.

As per the does training have to suck thread. I am guessing you made progress tonight just because you hated it. Lol

Wellā€¦I got through it with a bit of stubbornness. But this is not my usual MO. Somewhere else it was being discussed the extent to which people lift with emotion, and I have to admit that I kind of do normally. Itā€™s like a focused rage or something. Using the Dark Side. Today was absent any and all of that, but past hard work doesnā€™t just disappear just because of a bad day. The body remembers what it can do.

Just remember that when we feel this way? The best remedy is a few thousand calories and a lot of sleep. I will be feeling just fine tomorrow.

Well it started with a dope ass taco salad for lunch. And I just at 350 grams of entrecote steaks for dinner. Yum.

Will wash it down with too much alcohol and a shitload of snacks.
