Pretty sure this is a byproduct of temporarily artificially raising lift frequency but I will take it.

That first rep was a bit funky
Yeah it felt pretty terrible, it kind of looks like I stopped at the beginning of the rep. Probably just a misgroove, but damn it sucked.
Nice consistency brah

I was trying to record the first set, and as I started the set I saw someone walk in front of my phone. 100% breaking my concentration. First set was my worst set, everything after that went really well.
Did 1 set of 5 bodyweight chinups to warmup for weighted chinups.

In 2 minds about these. I want to continue doing it like this and to really push the limit, I think its a hyper effective exercise. At the same time the shit I am stepping up onto feels unsafe, like I am probably nearing the weight limit with weighing 210 and lifting 225ish. This Anytime by far has the best barbells of any of them but has no standard plyo boxes to do stepups with. They all are hard plastic or have a little give to them. So the 2 solutions are back up and do more reps or go to a different Anytime and suffer from the shitty barbells.

Emphasizing abduction on these instead of banging reps out. Using super light weight and focusing on doing it right.

3 x 2 @ 107 (Pause) (SS) Light Band Ass. x 7
First and last sets of 147 are rep PRs. 147 is the most I have ever Log Pressed any style and it was for four doubles. So next weeks 152 for 4 x 3 will be a all time weight PR for Log Press.
Chinups went a set of 3 body weight, worked up to 2 sets of 2 with 17.5lbs added, did 2 drop sets of 5 with bodyweight, and an additional drop set of 7 using a light band for a little help.

Nice log brah. I never got around to trying it out when I passed through a gym that had one. Whatever carry over from OHP is there? I can press 175ish so …
I had around a 90-95% carryover, but my barbell strict press form had a lot of lean back in it similar to how a log is naturally.

Don’t know how long my Inzer belt has had its screws loose, but I noticed it after my second set today. Retightened it. Going to maybe need to carry a screwdriver in my gym bag from now on.

Really happy with these. Was pretty hard so instead of more pause work for the backdowns I switched to RDLs. Second set was brutal from the moment it broke the floor on the first rep. I just keep finding the reps though.
Romanian DL
2 x 10 @ 315
Really happy with these as well. One more set of 10 with these and I will achieve one of my long standing volume/building related goals. Will probably do that next week. Another Deadlift related one is 315 for 5 sets of 10 which will probably be there when I switch back to that style of training.

Still focusing on knee abduction on this. Have not increased the weight on this the last 3 weeks, but now that I hit 20 reps on both sets I can add weight.

Jesus that’s a strong RDL. I’m trying to get 315 x4x5-6 on paused beltless RDL’s sometime in the near future.

Thanks, it’s probably my favorite deadlift accessory. Pushed it hard during my Off Season training and was able to turn around on a dime and add 25lbs to what I was doing for sets of 10. I like it because I have to exert a certain amount of control over it, I can’t bounce the weight or use stretch reflex.

Went on a 2 mile walk yesterday, my knees were sore and I need to get up and move around. A little cold but all the ice and snow has melted.

Someone took the rack that is underneath the rings while I was benching. So I just switched the v handle chinup bar. This gym has a lot of places to do pullups with a lot of unique handles, I just prefer the rings because they are harder.

Decided I only wanted to do one really hard set, otherwise I would be there til 2am.This fucking sucked but I mentally committed to 3 regardless of how hard it felt, I wanted to quit in the middle of pulling the 2nd round but kept going.
