Workout 8/1/23

Had to make it quick today, but I was feeling pretty strong so I pushed squat to what felt about 90% perceived effort and pushed seated over head to just shy of an all out 1 RM and was pretty happy with what I got. I feel I can now beat my 505 squat max but I’ll try that down the road.

Seated Overhead Press
185x8
225x5
255x1
265x1
275x1 (PR) but still thought I had a tad more in me. But no spot on site other than my wife in the other room of the gym.

Awesome
Benching mayne
Thanks. I think my 405 bench goal is right around the corner. Based on how 385 felt, I think I have it now but I’ll work up instead.

Had just a couple of drinks the night before, but it sure seemed to really hurt my performance as it normally does even if just a few. Took it easier in this workout as a result.

subtle flex
Don’t get me wrong it was still hard. But not all out. Considering I can get 7 reps at that weight haha.

I felt inflamed which explains my good mornings stopping early and me moving to one set of lighter RDL. My low back was feeling flared up, swapped to RDL but it still wasn’t happy so I stopped.

My shoulders felt inflamed too which is why I cut it short.

My entire body felt inflamed after two glasses of wine which was really more like a total of three. Me and alcohol don’t get along.

Workout 8/8/23

Started the workout like @eazy is doing with some of my own modifications. This workout is single set per movement and rest between sets are to be only long enough to catch your breath and be ready for the next movement. It’s also says to do everyday and only take rest days as needed, I will only do three a week.

I won’t lie, this kicked my butt more than I thought it would. But it does make for a quick workout, I completed it in 37 minuets.

My QL has been a little tight, when I started to do squats it was a no go for all out effort, so I subbed RDL and squats for leg curls (I know) and leg press until it feels good.

As suspected, I had more in me for most movements and set several PRs.

DB Bench
120x15 (PR)

Dips (db bench already had me fried for these haha, got the biggest pump ever after just these two movements)
45x16

Pull Ups
12

Barbell Row
135x29 (gotta up the weight a good bit here)(PR also for reps at this weight)

Hammer Curl
40x14 per arm

Leg Curl
120x18 (PR)

Leg Press
585x16

Calf Press on leg press
495x17 (PR)

Hip Adductor Machine
150x22 (PR)
