Vacation goin well. Wrote up 8 weeks of training after this week. 5/3/1 style to build some strength , particular for my feetup paused bench goal of hitting 300. 5/3/1/5x5 week to end each run.

My buddy joe was over and took advantage of a spot i fully paused 245/265/285 so its within reach just off 5x5 training.

Going back to pendlay rows as well vs. From hang.

Testing my left bicep on e.z bar curls by doing sets of 20 starting with the bar. So far so good. Id like to power curl again. I just reverse barbell curlled 115x3 so the potential for a p.r is good as well on the power curl.
