Saturday
Bench
Worked up to 305. Missed first attempt but got a paused second effort. Have to work on keeping my ass down when it gets heavy though. This was after spending the whole day flying back from 29 palms.
Today
Pullups (changing grips)
12, 10, 6
Walked casually for 20 mins.
14 more pullups.
Just a light extra day trying to get back into a normal swing of things. Might do this more often.

Pretty short on time as I am having difficulty transitioning back into second shift and waking up when I want to. Still got it done though (albeit a day later).

Sometime in the middle of box squats I went manic even though I was already tired. Just had to do something afterwards and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Had some wicked DOMS coming in but by the time I got done deadlifting it was pretty much gone. Now back to ESO until I pass out.

Easy recovery day. Also started my second cycle yesterday. Doing 600 mg test e for 10 weeks and starting with 100 mg of var for the first 30 days.
Goals for the end of this cycle. Hit a 500 lbs deadlift, 445 squat and 325 bench all with abz. I was 202 lbs on Sunday down from 214 2 weeks ago. So I will try to end up around 205. Not paying super close attention to total calories but getting in at least 250 grams of protein and relatively limited carbs (under 150 grams).

Felt pretty stiff today and I think I was a little high on some of my reps. Serves me right for trying to run. Now hopefully I can get back in town for bench tomorrow night with enough juice to get through it.

Went right from drill to the gym so not terrible being tired as hell. The 315 was paused but my ass came up a little still. Moved pretty quick though. Wanted to try working in a few raises considering I hit 2 of the 3 debts consistently and completely ignore the third (mid). Can’t be good long term. My PFT yesterday went not so well because my ankles don’t like running anymore and I rolled the shit out of my sprained one (again). Shit happens.
