8/9/16 Tuesday BW=167.2

squat 5x135, 5x185, 4x5x205

Recently went on a 4500 mile road trip and took my first vacation in ages. Didn't do anything but gain weight and lose strength.
I have been doing pretty well at lifting weights about 2x a week for the last 10 years. After the break I got back in the squat rack and it turned out bad. I forgot how damn sore you can get. My BW Pull up/dip/push up routine has been hit 2x this week and is feeling good.
Positive is my body has no nagging issues. My back feels great!

jump squat 5x45
squat 2x185, 1x225, 1x240, 6x230, 7x220, 7x220

Today I am feeling worn down. hopefully just rinse and repeat.

Lost the brakes on the weekend car on the way home at the end of a 2-3-4 tuning pull...that was hairy lol! No brakes at ~140ish. Turns out I have a caliper leaking internally past the seal. Yay! New one on order.

That is sketchy. Hopefully nobody was around so you could just roll it out, or even better you were at the track?

What is your weekend car BTW?

7/14/16  Thursday BW=166.2

squat 3x185, 1x225, 1x235, 5x230, 8x215, 8x215
barbell lunge 3x5x195

There we go. I missed working out yesterday and tonight it was super late before I got a chance to lift. However I was able to muster up enough to make it happen. Only a couple reps and #'s more then last w/o but it felt so solid. need to stay after it.

When I am more active during the school year, I assume I feel worn down from all the activity.

Now that I am a month into summer I can't seem to catch up, still wasted wtf?

Motivation to improve is low atm. Today was my first day off in a spell and get going enough to visit the barbell. best workout all month.

Have not done much in a bit. I took a full week off after the school year. Felt mint until last saturday when I did a 8k mud run. Just now feeling solid enough to work on progress.

I've been riding my bike to work about 6 miles total everyday so that's something.

barbell hip thrust 3x10x95

I felt great this morning playing basketball, but no explosiveness. This afternoon when I went to lift weights this trend continued.
Tried some jumps and practically couldn't get off the ground. Somehow I was able to better Saturdays effort under the bar.
Good stuff. I have been slacking on the mobility work, but have gotten in plenty of upper body BW work. Seems like when my upper back is a bit sore My squat improves.

^^^^ thanks man. The motivation of what you and others on this board have got done keeps me rolling.

solid workout. warmed up with jump rope, and my side was splitting after 1.5 minutes.

cardio wise I blow. Been working a band to gain some more mobility in my ankle recently. It really seems to be helping. That + lacrosse ball rolling on my foot for the win.

Been mailing it in the last half of the month. Focus is at 0 with 3 children. Could not mentally push it tonight. Nothing obvious or nagging just can't get 100% out of my brain.

Had too much on my plate this weekend. weights ended up getting pushed then rushed. Still 5x250 felt great. I hit a wall on the third set and had to call it a day.

Usually I can't seem to move weight as well on a basketball day, but today felt great. Jumps felt solid, and 250 moved smooth and easy.

Friday got in some ME jumps during basketball that were solid, probably another .5"-1" then my recent best.

Saturday I got in my push/ dip /pull up routine that I missed all last week. Saturday night into sunday morning I got to feeling sick again.

Lounged the morning away and did some mobility work. Finally got the energy up to lift and killed it. My form was locked in and I felt relatively explosive.

This last week has felt like major progress.

3 step jumps 5x5
jump squat 5x45, 5x95
squat 3x185, 1x225, 1x245, 1x255, 1x265, 1x270

yesterday my stomach was twisted, had to finally just lay down. This morning I still was not feeling 100%, by the time I got off work I was beat.

Took some green tea caps and pushed myself to do something. Surprisingly my jumps were better then they have been in years. Got up to 270 on my squat didn't feel like 275 would go up easy so I stopped. Today feels like progress.
