10 min jog
1.04 miles

Bench: 225x3x3
Oh strict press: 155x5 then drop sets
Ss bar squat: worked to 200lbs testing out my IT Band.  Leg felt good.

Lat pulldown 3x10
Tricep pushdowns: 3x10 for rope and Vbar

1 handed bb grip holds
Worked to 185 for like 5 seconds

Tomorrow will be stepper for as long as I can and wallballs.

Also weight is 259
From my sickness I went down minimum 9lbs.  I think I would have been about 15lbs down at most. 

Eating is back to normal though so I'll take 259 for now. 

My goal is to last an hour on the stairmaster.  Tomorrow I wanna just shoot for 30 minutes.

what do you do to keep sane on the stairmaster? running on the treadmill makes me want to stab myself after about 20 minutes. i'm okay again after 40 minutes but that 20-minute stretch in between is crazy-making.

20 min jog.

Felt slow but only thing that stopped me at 20 minutes was the insides of my feet started to feel raw like they were going to blister.

Did 100 wb
So we have a new wallball which is an actual wallball.  It's probably 4x the size of the slamball I've been using but still the same weight.  This one is actually harder and immediately burned my shoulders, biceps and chest.

Bike for 10 minutes

Bout it, gonna do some stuff later.

Nothing today, woke up late and I thought my power steering pump just had air in the system but I noticed a leak so had to take it to the garage for them to find out where it is.

20 min jog

Squat with green bands
Front squat from 95lbs to 215 or 225
Then back squat to 275
All doubles.

Seems like around the 275 with green band weight is when i start feeling it in my IT Band.  I'm trying not to push it and hopefully let it heal more.  Previously I'd feel it on bw squats alone.

Did ss bar good mornings
Just doubles and triples to 155 i think.  I like the ss bar more than straight bar but cambered is still king for good mornings in my opinion.  I feel like the position you can get in on a cambered bar is more natural and the weight is distributed more evenly so it's not putting you in a position where it's mostly all lower back or something. When we had a cambered bar I'd feel it all on my pchain.

Anyway that was it, i have a interview on Monday and I needed my hair cut.  My hairdresser had issues with her dog and she cancelled yesterday so I made an appointment today with just anyone and she cancelled again but they didn't tell me until I got there so I was cruising around and waiting for a solid few hours before i found a place where people were working.

Anyway tomorrow is some cardio, stretching, and bb stuff, basically full body to hit stuff I didnt hit during the week.

Did other stuff idk nothing exciting, might take it easy on leg days, my it band is fucked again so idk if it's the squats or the stairmaster or both.

Anyway my 2 weeks of just getting it going again is done and time to hit it hard now.

I am supposed to find out about the job next week or the week after.  I think they want to start the new people mid March.  When that happens since it's a lot of forklift work I want a treadmill but a echo bike would be nice too.  Chances are it'd be a treadmill. 

20 min walk
Clean: up to 225x1
Tried a second single but nope lol
Squat: 315x1
Just did quick jumps until I felt my IT Band start to ache.
Db RDL: Up to 125dbs for 10
Leg curl for 2x10 both legs but worked up doing single leg
Leg extension: 3x10
This new machine sucks so much ass. I used it once when they got this new one and hated it.  Gave it another shot and it still sucks.
25 minute walk. (Incline)
