Logging my Lifts

Sunday - 5/24/20 - Home - 9:30pm

Pause Sumo Deadlift - high pause - 1 sec pause
135x5x2, 225x2, 275x2, 315x2, 365x2, 395x2 355x5x2

Done. Skip squat again. Can feel adductor pain even with sumo DL. I'm guessing its some type of adductor tendiopathy. Not the best DL day,, but got in some work. May switch up squats with some pin squats for a week or so and adjust depth depending on pain tolerance.
 
Monday - 5/24/20 - Home - 10:30pm

Squat
95x5, 135x5, 185x5

High Pin Squat - no belt - 4th peg below bench peg
185x5, 225x5, 275x5

Did a lot of warming up and trying to rehab that adductor. Did a lot of adductor ball squeezes and a bunch of sets with the empty bar. Also did a bunch of SOHP with light weight. Was considering just squatting, but switched to pin squats. Could definitely feel it still, but was able to keep form which was good. It's not much, but better then nothing since I almost called it a night

Bench Press - comp grip
135x5x2, 185x2, 225x2, 255x2, 285x2, 255x4x4

Done. 285 felt harder than I was hoping. Wanted to add spoto presses after but times up and kids are still wide awake...need more volume if I want to get stronger benching only 2x per week

135x7x2, 185x5, 225x3, 275x1, 295x1, 275x5

2 year old woke up from his nap way too early WTF! With that being said 295 moved pretty well. May finish up tonight

My recently purchased Airdyne is in the garage, and whilst the UK isn't the hottest of places in the world, I certainly come out of the garage following a session on the Airdyne drenched in sweat.

I can't imagine doing cardio in the garage when it's blazing hot, lol. My area gets pretty damn hot, but luckily the sun sets towards the back of my house and walls are insulated except for the garage door so that helps quite a bit.

2-Board Bench Press - comp grip
135x8, (added 2 board) 185x5, 225x5, 275x5, 295x5x2, 300x5

3-Second Pause Bench Press - pinky on rings
225x3, 255x3x3

Pause CGBP
185x9

Done. Got to finish up my bench workout. Was going to do a RPE 9 AMRAP with 185, but my 2 year old climbed on top of me during the 9th rep so that was it, lol. Really wanted to add in some rows and curls. Possibly tonight.
 
Monday - 6/1/20 - Home - 6:15 pm

Pause Sumo Deadlift - modified stance - 1 sec pause
135x5x2, 225x3, 275x2, 315x2, 365x2, 405xMISSx2, 365x3

Conventional Deadlift
225x3, 275x3, 315x3, 335x3

Shit deadlift day, even though 365 felt good and moved well. Everytime I adjust stance slightly and make bigger jumps I tend to miss the weight, lol. It's like I have no confidence in my bracing and just give up. Brought stance in since adductor is still acting up more than usual. After that loss all motivation and only had a short period to train. Did a few easy conventionals and time was up.
 
Tuesday - 6/2/2 - Home - 7:30 pm

Penlay Rows - no belt
135x6, 185x5, 205x5, 225x5x3, 245x5, 205x5

Got to knock these out while the kids played out front. Feeling stronger an stronger at this exercise, although definitely some heaving/cheating with the 245 which I'm ok with. Wanted to add some light squats later that night, but passed out with the kids again. Will try to get some in tonight.
 
Wednesday - 6/3/20 - Home - 7:00 pm

Squat
135 for multiple sets in the 5-8 rep range

A lot of warming up and rehabing the adductor while playing wtih the kids. Had no time to go heavier. Probably did 6-7 sets messing around with different stances. It was too late to train later that night so that was it. Ideally tonight I can bench and then do some type of squat movement. I'm thinking about including some type of squat twice a week as tolerated instead of pushing through since that may be making it worse. Will then follow that with some heavier GMs since I think I could do those without pain
 
Thursday - 6/4/20 - Home - 7 pm

Pause Bench Press - 1 sec pause - comp grip
135x5x2, 185x2, 225x2, 275x2x2, 245x4x3, 250x6

Thats it. 275 felt heavy so decided not to attempt 295 for a double and just go 2x2. Everything felt heavy in my hands, but at least got in some decent volume
 
Did ridiculous amount of yard renovation on Friday and the entire weekend that I was way too beat up to train, but this was pretty much cardio/GPP combined. I haven't carried that much bags of mulch in my life. Also did mulch bag tosses trying to beat the distance of each toss, lol. A lot of digging, bagging, moving bricks, etc. Maybe it's a good thing to give my adductors a break while staying very active. Will bench tonight

Wednesday - 6/10/20 - Home - 9:45pm

Sumo Deadlift
135x5x2, 225x5, 275x2, 315x2, 335x2, 355x1, 375x1, 345x4

Conventional Deadlift
135x5, 225x5, 275x2 315x5x3

Passed out with the kids last night, but got 8 hours of sleep with only 1 interruption. Trying to avoid any adductor pain or aggregation. Can feel it with sumo a little even moreso with controlled eccentrics. Don't really feel it with Conventional much. May squat ultra light tomorrow and follow with GMs
 
Thursday - 6/11/20 - Home - 9:45 pm

Squat - Close stance ATG - no belt
75x8, 95x8, 115x8, 135x8, 155x8, 175x6x2

Good Mornings - no belt
175x5, 205x5, 225x5, 245x5

Times up. Started feeling it in the adductors by the 4th rep at 175 for squat so called it there. Just trying to play is conservative instead of pushing through. Did a few GMs to follow.
 
Saturday - 6/13/20 - Home - 9:30 pm

Bench Press - comp grip
135x5, 185x3, 225x2, 255x2, 275x2, 280x2, 265x4, 250x4x3

Thats a wrap. Wanted to do rows and flat dumbells presses but no time
 
Monday - 6/15/20 - Home - 9:45 pm

1.5" Deficit Conventional Deadlift
135x5x2, 225x3, 275x3, 295x3, 315x3, 335x3x2

SSB Squat
85x5, 115x5, 155x5, 175x2

Adductor pain. Switch to Hatfield Squats

SSB Hatfield Squats
175x5, 195x5, 215x5, 235x5

Times up. Hatfields may be a good exercise choice as I can adjust load on the fly holding on to the rack and get some heavier weight on my back at full ROM without pain
 
Tuesday- 6/17/20 - Home - 9:30pm

Bench Press - TNG - comp grip
135x5x2, 185x5, 225x5, 245x5, 265x5x3

2-Board Bench Press - comp grip
275x10

Done. Was going to do Larsen presses with long pauses, but I had to attend to one of my kids so by that point I was already cooled down. Some decent work at least. Now that my shoulder feels 95% I may go back to more frequent benching since I just don't have dedicated time to do enough volume in 1 session
 
Wed - 6/18/20 - Home - 9:30 pm

Pendlay Rows
135x6, 155x6 ,185x6, 205x6, 225x6x2

SOHP - using SSB
85x6, 105x6, 115x6, 125x6x3

Done. Basically went back and forth between rows and OHP, some earlier sets with no rest. I did the same with the most recent DL and SSB squat on Monday. Felt pretty good overall. Definitely more wobbly doing SOHP with SSB. 2nd set of 125 I got so out of the groove on the 3rd rep that it just messed with me for the rest of the reps. You would think that was a RPE 9 by the way it was moving, but the 3rd set my start position and groove getting under the bar was so good it felt like a RPE 5. Goes to show how much technique is involved and why I've had some horrible SOHP days.
