Happy to be squatting 3 plates for 5 reps again! From prior experience I believe this puts me at a 365 1RM

I felt the tiniest bit of something, don't even want to call it discomfort, in my shoulder during seated lateral raises. So I skipped them for today

Wanted to switch back to 7x5 mondays and 8x4 thursday for the bench. but alas, my right shoulder is bothering me so i cut it short today. last time this happened to me i was lifting 6x a week (like now) so my shoulder girdle is getting worked 4x a week (two push and two pull days), plus high intensity and volume on the bb bench. No good. pain went away last time with some rest.

so I think it's time i switch to body recomp and throw in a lot of fasting while lowering the volume on bench work. really want to just switch 100% to dumbells, but my gym is missing so many of them. don't have 80's, 95's, etc.

thinking of maybe doing an upper/rest/lower/rest split, with a ton of fasting on rest days.

Yeah im really liking the hot temp while lifting, probably moreso than room temp now. Freezing commercial gyms are the worst!
The more i think about it, the more i realize my only real issue with the gym is a missing 25lb dumbell, 30lb, 40lb, and then sets of 35’s, 45’s, 50’s, 55’s

Looking to build my home gym soon anyway with a DIY platform. Any ideas on a decent power cage? My company has a 50% fitness subsidy that caps at $500/year. Rather use that for equipment every year instead of a gym membership!

Here is the gym I am lifting at. I hated it at first but had to make do, especially since a ton of the dumbells are missing. And the A/C doesn't work most days I'm there, so it's pretty hot in there.

But every day I love it more and more:

This is for a water fast, correct?

Would be interesting to see a dry fasting chart as well. Autophagy kicks in much earler on a dry fast from what I know.

Was not feeling too strong today. Might be because I've been slacking on protein this week, but also because I jumped up in weight very fast the past week or so and now I'm at my "real" maxes. The gains are no doubt slowing down now!

So dead tired today since I slept late. Doesn't matter that I woke up late as well - night sleep is so much better than day sleep

may lift at night tnite, or double up tomorrow (but with less sets)

So glad to be doing sets of 225 on the bench again! Plan is to stick with this weight until I can hit 7 reps on the first set, then move up in weight. Incline DB's for that pump afterward. Gotta combine the neural gains + myofibrillar hypertrophy + sarcoplasmic hypertropy!

I remember when i was a toddler. I used to sit in a chair and chew on the corners of my toenails.

Today I can barely smell my foot. My nose is probably ~10 inches away from my big toe. Very stiff
