Sat 7/10 Out this week with some back pain/not trying hard enough. Debating trying to swing the W3D1 later today/tomorrow and rolling a modified schedule until I ucan return to W/Sa, or if I just take a mulligan and start back with W2D1 this coming Wednesday. Either way, stay the course. More to fol...

Hi there folks, question about weight room warm-ups. What, if anything, do you do to warm up in the weight room? Warming up for HIC/E is usually straightforward enough-few disagree about running light sprints before 600m resets or light calisthenics before a brig rat-but I have heard diverging opini...

Sat 7/3 Fighter session 5x5 BP, minimum rest 3x5 SQ, 3 min rest 5x3 chins, 1 min rest Felt some extra juice on the bench today, so decided to go for the full 5 sets. Glad I did so. With my lower back thing the other day I didn’t want to load up the volume on squats, but felt I could push the RIs a b...

Wed 6/30 Fighter 3x5 @80% SQ 220 BP 180 Chins 3x7 (some rest pause on final set) Conversely compared to my previous Saturday session, this one was burning the (almost) midnight oil following a return from said flight that ended with a two day weather divert to Santa Fe. Little weaker on squats tonig...

Sat 6/23 Fighter 3x5 SQ 205 BP 170 3x6 Chins Did this e-a-r-l-y AM before departing on a three leg cross country flight. Had the gym to myself so rotated through SQ-BP-Chins every 2 min. Pleased with the power I was able to generate through all reps. Sun 6/24 Between walking around town, and to and ...

Wednesday 6/23 Fighter Session SQ 3x5@75% (205) BP 3x5@75% (170) Chins 3x6 @ BW, rest pause in sets 2,3 Minimal sets and minimal rest. Had to be a quick session since I did this on lunch break. Some elbow soreness in between sets of chins. I think the answer to that for now is to keep them in the wo...

Finally getting back on the train. Dealt with some Achilles and elbow tendinitis around the time I stopped logging. Haven’t been totally absent in terms of training, visiting both Simple and Sinister and Starting Strength again, but instead of hopping around I hope to be back to TB normalcy. Plan to...

Base Building Week 6 Monday-Fighter 3x5@75% Back Squat Bench Press Deadlift (1 work set) The squats were satisfying, but made me awfully sore. To be expected, I guess, for being off of them for six weeks. Bench went well. No comment. Deadlifts? Ugh. The weight went up okay, but it felt off. As Rippe...

Block 1/Base Building W5 D6 Bit of a longer combination session today. E/SE. 25 min on the rower, level 10. Covered just over 5000m. Then, about 30 min of back and biceps with a friend. Made me miss the meathead accessory work. Focused mostly on rowing and back fly variations. Finished with 20 minut...
