Training Log: Entry 847
Decided to get some sun and outside training today with some trap bar farmers. Paced off 50 paces with size 12 feet, so give or take 50 feet for a length.
225x4 lengths
315x2
405x1
405x1
315x2
315x1
225x1
Notes: Hands were really the variable here, not grip or body. Knurling on the trap bar is still sharp. Still was fun. Traps are killing me, and the 405 sets were a good challenge.

SSB box squats of 340
3x5
Notes: I'm no longer wearing my sweatshirt as the weather is getting warmer, which makes my belt fit a little looser. I'm doing that upperback rolling on the way up, need to watch for that.
Conventional deadlifts of 225
1x22
Notes: Think I'm just going to keep the weight here and build up my conditioning/work on my form. I had some good reps and some bad ones. I still round my lowerback due to hamstring inflexibility, however I've improved so much on keeping the bar close to the body and shoulders behind the bar that I've reduced lower back strain in the initial pull. Small adjustments in form can help me maintain safety even if I lack certain physical tools.
Strict press of 170
5,5,3
of 95
1x17
Notes: Jacked up the first set and hit a screw on the power rack the way up, then got it caught on the way down. Took away some energy, but I don't mind progressing slowly on this lift.
Chins w/45lbs
3x5
1x15 of bodyweight
My formatting is all screwed up

I'm on leave until 21 Apr, so I'm just training however I can. Today was a good day
Fat bar pull-ups
5x10
Bodyweight dips
22,10,9,8,7
Then I pushed and pulled an old football tackle sled around the field. I'm in Denver, and the altitude change is messing with my conditioning.
Afterwards I run and walked several miles

SSB box squats
3x5 @ 335
1x20 @ 260
Notes: My box is slightly lower now, as I broke one of the supporting plastic pieces while using to fix my garage door, but it's having minimal impact. First few reps start out strong, last reps degrade a little, for every set. Work capacity set was ugly and brutal. Belt makes it tough to get air.
Dips
3x5 @ 105
1x20 @ BW
Notes: Work capacity set went smoothly. Don't know why.
DB rows
3x10 @ 150
Notes: Set a PR, but was dying. Only running off 2 candy bars at this point. Cut out the work capacity set.
Training Log: Entry 841
SSB box squats
3x5 @ 330
1x11 @ 260
Notes: I've hit the point in weight where the set is no longer easy. From here on out it's going to be 5lb increases. The work capacity set fell apart, my head just isn't in the game. Further proof is my workout got cut short as I hit the bottom of the garage door as it was going up on my way to the gym, and spend 2 hours repairing the damage rather than training.
