* bare minimum routine to get myself fully recovered. i don't like having minor aches in the lowerback/core. i'm nowhere near doing 495x3 right now. i don't think i can even do a no-rest 314-405-495 too. my having 225s in there means im not very strong from the beginning and need more reps to get going.

* feeling very weak and sleepy in the morning so skipped that workout. feeling weak only on the noon workout so did the bare minimum. the caloric deficit from all the walking slowly got to me. now i'm thin and weak at 206lb. had to do my special grilled thigh/egg combo for lunch to thicken up for the afternoon so i maintain my 495 daily streak. worked as planned. was back to 210 after a strong lunch. the 495 was strongest it has been in days.

* removed the vertical pressing for more better back recovery. added horizontal push but very light only. doing them close grip and focusing on front delts/tricep by bringing elbow down close to body. felt the front delts activate nicely. might stick with this if it does not cause any back fatigue

* 495 getting harder and harder. the volumes of the backoffs of the push/pull are adding fatigue. bw going down sub 208 and i'm now eating a little more to maintain a 208+ so i can do repeatable 495s a workout without burning out.

* found a way to do one arm pressing easier to balance. i "lean" against the handle where i'm pushing up. the weight is light enough but theres also noticeable fatigue to my core supporting that weight for the duration of the long set. when im leaning/balancing on the handle, it feels a lot easier on the balancing.

* added 225x10 for more coordination since i'm thinner lately. will keep steady at 204-208 for a few weeks until i start to struggle with routine 495s. might add more inclined walking, remove all caffeine and aim to lower my HR down agan to the 40-50s. i'm at 60-70 now with 600mg/day at least (200mg costco energy shot preworkout)

* the 225x10 light backoff set is not adding fatigue but helping very much with coordination. i started my routine this afternoon with 405 already because the gym was very busy and i don't want anyone to take the 45lb bumper plates. hard to hoard 4 plates but 2 can be reasonable.

* 225 backoff felt very good on form. its light enough that i got to 20 reps without requiring a breathing reset. i used 225 because its about half of my top set. same thing for the machines, i use a weight a little below half the heaviest weight used.

* i had to do 2 sets of singles on the 315 because the first set lately has been not very smooth. skipping the backoff of the shoulder pressing for more core recovery.

* removed the 205x10 seated row backoff. its tiring. no wonder i can't figure out a breathing rhythm while doing 10 reps of these.

* bw still in the 208-212. i'm hesitating on losing weight because i might not get a 495 on the last week of the month. i want to end my 10-year daily squat with a 495. no point in chasing 545 again and be not lean. 495 is a good parting weight.

* finally the deload on rowing volumes added better recovery for my squat. got the 495 this lunch time with more in the tank. i could have done backoff 2-3 reps but im still catching up on sleep coming from a 3-day work week, il do the backoff volumes some other time.
* about time i get to use the +X on my top single. on my best day, the 495 get a +55 for that 545 single. im sure i could have gotten an ugly 550 but another 10lb on top of how that 545 rep looked like is wishful thinking.
