Training Log: Entry 808

Back from my cruise.  Had access to 80lb DBs, a lat pulldown tower, and a dip station.  Managed some decent upper body deloading, and did a ton of band good mornings.  Nothing worth recording.  Have been off creatine and fish oil for 10 days.  My diet cleaned up a bit while I was there.  Saw some pictures of me from the cruise, I've really gotten big.  Both fat and muscle.  My gyno is coming back pretty hard, which is partially genetic and partiall reflective of my reduced chest work.  My belly is protruding pretty good, and my arms and back are building up.  The big stomach is helping my lifting, but I might need to try slimming down in the future for the sake of my PFTs.

I've purchased a cheap jump rope and some boxing gloves, and intend to get 1-2 days of conditioning into my training.

RE deadlift

Conventional deadlift of 335
15,10

Notes: First time training in subzero temps in my garage.  It was around -10.  Needed to wear underarmor, long sleeve shirt, sweat shirt, shorts, sweat pants, 2 pairs of socks, and winter gloves, but I managed pretty decently.  The gloves messed with my deadlifting a bit, but I managed.  Been a while since I pulled, need to work more on dive bombing the leg drive and falling back.

Squats of 405
3x3

Notes: Can't wear the gloves or sweatshirt on the squat, it messed with bar placement.  Had to keep hand warmers in my pants, to keep my hip flexors warm between sets, and to thaw out my hands after they went numb on the bar.  I've reset on the weight, to focus on getting that final "dip" before coming out of the hole.  Last 2 sets felt easy.

SSB split squat of 165
1x8

Notes: Too icy to lunge up my driveway, so I need a new movement.  I don't like the split squat, but it's the best to train in my cramped driveway.

Band good mornings
Averagex40
Lightx40
Minix40

Notes: Something I discovered on the cruise to get some volume without messing up my hips.  I'll try for multiple sets in the future.

May be moving my ab work to my conditioning day.
