Barkadion TB Logs

[Barkadion]

1/2/17
Black OP block#3
Week#3, Monday

Lifts
SSB Squat - 4x3, 195
BP - 4x3, 190
DL - 3x1, 315
RI - 2-3min

Finisher
TRX Face Pulls 3x12, BW
RI - 90sec

Notes
*Feels heavy but doable. I need to pay attention to my left (post injury) side to make sure I get full ROM and the side is fully engaged.
** I have looked into my old logs.
- I was able to do 5 pain free BW pushups on 4/23/2015 for the first time after 2 years of non-training injury recovery.
- I have failed 4th rep of 135lb BP by dropping bar to my chest on 12/16/2015. So, it took me 1 year from dropping 135lb to 3reps of 190lb.
- 20lb is added to estimated/calculated TM since August 2016 winch is dedicated TB progressing.
- I do realize that 190lb is really stupid number for adult, but I feel damn good about that. Hopefully, I can get back to 1K club one more time at some point before entering old fart territory for good

Not a stupid number at all. Progress is all that matters, and you're clearly doing that. Keep it up Bark.

Not quite sure if I understand this Bark;

So on Dec.16 2015 you were able to do 3 reps with 135lbs, and now you can do 3 reps with 190lbs?

Yes this is the case. I've been on the long road of upper back injury recovery and started from ground zero (BW) in 2015. I was able to move to DB/Barbell around winter time of 2015. My TB journey started around May of 2016 with Base Building. I am here with the black continuation now.

UPD - I see the confusion. It's 1 year (I put 2 years by mistake). Never do calculation around new year

That's nothing to sneeze at man, adding close to 60lbs on BP in less than a year is excellent by any measure. Nicely done.

Thank you mate! Most of the progress is done with TB template, though. It does work!
