Great workout. Body weight presses for 7 lifetime pr.
After deadlifting last week I realized I was way undertrainng. I was able to deadlift 560 years ago so the strength is there just have to get it back. Deadlift is a funny thing with me. I need to undertrain it. When I push too hard I can easily overtrain and regress. So I left plenty in the tank again.

For those of you that follow my log I just want to say we are all different and we need to learn our own bodies. You need to log everything and be willing to try different things to see what works for you. Have a open mind and be the judge of your own body, what works and what doesn’t. There are so many factors, ( age, drugs, our own hormones, how long you have been training how close you are to your genetic potential, recovery ability, injuries, metabolism, muscle fiber make up and other factors as well. It’s a great journey, just have patience and analyze and document and you will be on your way to success. I have had trainers train me both diet and with weights and in the end I have found I know my body the best. Just my little rant.

Lift on fellas.

Congrats on the PR man, that’s great. Your standing presses have been pretty steadily strong. Cool to see you hit that.

Forearm work

I took some body measurements last night to see where I’m at proportionately. Compared it to January when I weighed 200. I am 196 now. Waist is down 7/8 since then. All other measurements are pretty much the same. Legs were down 3/8. According to my charts my neck is my strong point, 1 inch over what it should be. Chest back lagging by 1/2 inch. Forearms lagging by 3/8 inch and of course my calf’s lag by 1.5 inches. This is not the end all be all chart. I just like to have references to go by. Body fat is around 8 percent. Same caliper and places I always use so even if percentage is wrong I know where I am going because I have used this for years.

Forearm work

Another strong day, no problem with lifts, used same weights from last week. Next workout I will start bumping up the weights again. Tightened up diet too, summer coming to an end. I enjoyed taking it easy with the eating but I need to dial it back in. Right now thinking I will have a low surplus and go from there.
