Was a little later than usual doing my workout as I had got lucky and got a really good deal on some old York 100# plates. Went and picked them up and it took me 1.5 hours to get it all done.

Good lower body day

Wasn't sure how today's workout was gonna go, I got a lot of sleep and ate a lot of food hoping to speed up some recovery. Decided just to do a nice 3 reps on the squat. Decided on around 90ish percent of what I did last month.

Back Squats
135 x 5 x 2 sets
185 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 3 added belt
315 x 1
345 x 3 easy and super deep. Decided to stop here, these felt good and I wanted to end my squats on a good note.

Leg Extensions
can't remember

Box jumps to 30"
3 x 5

Abs
4 sets

Nice quick workout, plus Gabby lifted with me which made it that much better.

Shit tastic upperbody night.

Been a rough week, sleep has been horrible, and work has been busy. I don't have a hard job, but it does wear me down when I am working open to closes. Money has been good though, so that I appreciate.

I felt good for todays workout but that was just a feeling I guess.

Log press
Lets just say these sucked and leave it at that. Needed a deload on them anyway.

Close grip bench
195 x 5
225 x 5
255 x 5
These felt crappy also, no drive.

Ring extensions
5 x 10

Ring pushups
50 reps

Band pushdowns
100 reps

Grip.

That was it, supposed to do a heavier squat tomorrow, but if I still feel tired, I will skip it, better to let my body rest for sunday.
