Events day solo at my house

Had to lift solo at my house. Kinda nice to sleep in eat 6 eggs 5 strips of bacon and way to much cheese all scrambled together (with some diced broccoli....) got to keep it healthy! :) instead of driving 50 miles at 7am. Of course intensity is down and its a lot more boring and mundane by yourself in the woods.

If I have one shitty workout of the week please let it be bench

After the 315x20 squats walking has sucked and still does and I believe will continue too. My everything is sore. My strict press seemed to be sucking and bench was good benching on Monday and overhead on Thursday so I switched them up as I'd rather have a good overhead cause no one lays down before they kick some ass. I switched the days and guess what now my bench feels like crap it worked! If it sucks next week I'll lower my training max and work on the higher reps for the pump brah. #brotalk

Log Presses, back at it

Felt a little weak going into training today, not tired or anything just were you have a day that it seems like your muscles won't fire right. Decided to try my olympic shoes for pressing again, Think I will ditch them again. Didn't like it

Also my quads have just felt sore all day not sure why. Walking a lot for my job through uneven soft ground today doesn't help either.

Log clean & Press

95x......
145x5
185x5
205x5
235x5 PR+5lbs I know I am stronger then this but still technically a pr no reason to push it first day back at this lift. The pick off the floor made it look like I was lifting 500lbs lol wtf Form was still solid which is a plus. Nice good quick shallow deep dipping down and under the bar efficient push jerk.

Axle strict press

123x5
143x5
163x5

x10
dead hang

Deadlifting Training feel the tension

Got to the gym and Evan was talking about doing some pulls from below the knee with the short strong bands. It was hard to even get them on I knew it was going to be fun...... At the end of the day we weighed it all and it was 115lbs of tension at the pins and 250 at lockout fun.....

17.5" rack pulls against strong short bands *115 off pins 250 at lockout*

225x2
275x2
315x2
365x1

standard deadlifts with texas deadlift bar I love that thing......

135x5
225x5
275x5
315x5
345x10 

working 5/3/1 with training max of 405 I plan to just go to 10 reps on the final set for the first cycle which has 20lb jumps every week 2nd cycle I might push the reps a little higher as my low back strengthens back up and gets conditioned for the high reps again. 

Reverse hypers

3x10

45* back extension

10lb plate behind head 3x10

holy low back pump!

messed around with some atlas stone presses. Seriously maybe the dumbest most pointless lift I've ever tried
