Bench and Bodyweight

Squat Cardio Bodyweight

Tonight I just worked up heavy on my main lift and did some cardio. I think this will give me a better chance at developing some work capacity/being able to breathe while standing.

CARDIO

Bench Press and Bodyweight

Tonight was a good night. I put up 365 without a liftoff. From here on out I'm going to be doing triples and doubles on bench, no more singles until I have a spotter (which may be a long time).

BENCH PRESS
45 x 10
135 x 10
185 x 5
225 x 3
275 x 2
315 x 1
335 x 1
365 x 1
225 x 10

I got a good sweat going with this. I like the 225 drop set.

CABLE ROWS
10, 8, 6
(heavy!)

BODYWEIGHT
Still right around 347. My stomach issues have lessened pretty substantially, so that's good. Need to keep moving DOWN.

Rack Pulls & BW

Tonight I didn't feel like squatting as I had some stomach issues. So I decided to do some rack pulls since I haven't done anything like it in about 3 years. Felt okay, but I don't think I'll be doing them again anytime soon. I don't want to bend a bar.

RACK PULLS
(just above the knee)
135 x 5
225 x 3
315 x 1
405 x 1
455 x 8 x 1

CABLE LEG PRESS
4 x 10

BODYWEIGHT
I'm down to 348, which is about a 15 lb loss since July. I'm hoping this is real weight loss, not just from the stomach issues.

Bench (post-break PR)

Tonight was a good night. Got to talk to a college student who lifts at the gym. Asked him for a spot and hopefully helped him with a shoulder issue he's having.

Also, PR! I'm finally back over my (inexcusably high) bodyweight on the bench.

I ate like shit today, so I'm glad I hadn't gained too much. Back on track with shakes and rabbit food.
