Diary of a Desk Jockey

**Tactical Barbell Operator/"Black Russian" W1D3**

Max Strength

Chinups: 5,2,2,1,1

Squat: 3x5, 90lb

OHP: 3x5, 65lb

Managed to grind out 5 chinups in the first set, but then my arms just didn't have it in them to go for more than 2 at a time. Maybe I need to rest longer between sets?

Day 120:

**Tactical Barbell Operator/"Black Russian" W1D4**

HIC

Chinups: 2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1

Run: 1.91mi in 25:02

Arms still sore and couldn't do that many chinups at once, so I added more sets to get some volume in. Running felt good. Was going to stop at 1.8mi, but decided to go a bit longer because I was kind of enjoying myself (never thought I'd say that about running!).

Day 121:

**Tactical Barbell Operator/"Black Russian" W1D5**

Max Strength

Chinups: 3,3,2,1,1,1,1,1

Squat: 3x5, 90lb

OHP: 3x5, 65lb

Arms felt fine all day, but when I started on the chinups the soreness came out, and I couldn't do that many chinups. So I guess they're still not fully recovered.

**Tactical Barbell Operator/"Black Russian" W1D6**

HIC

Chinups: 3

Run: 1.5mi in 21:08.

Kind of a "meh" workout. Feel like I just wasn't fully recovered.

Day 123:

**Tactical Barbell Operator/"Black Russian" W2D1**

Max Strength

Chinups: 5,4,3,2,1

Squat: 3x5, 100lb

OHP: 3x5, 70lb

Chinups went well. Felt like I even had a rep in the tank for most sets. The squat and OHP felt pretty heavy, but I manged.

Day 126:

**Tactical Barbell Operator/"Black Russian" W2D4**

HIC

Day 127:

**Tactical Barbell Operator/"Black Russian" W2D5**

(Forgot to post earlier)


Max Strength

Chinups: 5,4,4,3,2


OHP: 3x5, 70lb

Deadlift 3x5, 150lb

Went fine.

Day 128:

**Tactical Barbell Operator/"Black Russian" W2D6**

Endurance

Chinups: 5,5,4,3,2

1.77mi in 30:00

Last chinup in each set was a grind, but I managed. I am kind of impressed with how I can "just" do a chinup without having to psych myself up or wonder if I will make it. On a good day, I can even crank out 2 or 3 without issue.

Max Strength

Chinups: 6,5,4,3,2

Squat: 3x3, 112.5lb

OHP: 3x3, 77.5lb

Everything went well. Still kind of shocked by how many chinups I can do now.
