Comments: Definitely feeling this week in my bones. I
could feel just fatigue in my forearms the day before. Trying to keep what
hurts healthy. I have not been feeling this week haha. Not to say there hasn’t
been good things for me. I did feel a little worn going into this training day.
I had to alter things slightly. See, neighbor two houses down was hosting a
taco truck for 2hrs. I thought nothing of it seeing it on the neighborhood bulletin
on my walks. Nobody really does anything here besides the neighborhood wide
garage sales. Wrong. Had to be like 50 people lined up and there were people
parking on both sides of the street. I’ve been away from large groups of people
for several months now and it reminded me how much I dislike them haha. Didn’t
want to walk through that so I took a different route for my warm-up and it
ended up being a bit longer. But that is ok. This is the second deadlift and
squat day that I’ve not worn the compression socks. I think one that they were
making my legs tight on the warm-up walk and two, I’m not pulling where my
shins are covered to keep from really rubbing my legs anyways. First exercise
was squatting to a box. As has been the case. Really light for higher reps.
Seem to be doing my some good and keeping me fresh for pulls. It was too hot to
keep the garage closed but with people outside (a lot of youngsters) I had to
be ready to skip the song on my iPod if it was maybe not ok. Only had one oops
with that haha (that darn Eminem). Next up being rack pulls again. Doubles this
time with the same plan. But I probably went too heavy. Safe, moderate,
comfortable. I have a hard time with these terms it seems. Especially when I
get comparison. Little bit more on the sheet was reflected by 50lbs more. I
figured I could do that. Had to do that. Same setup with using the saw horses
and the Mouser block. I do intend to get the rack setup this weekend. Probably
Sunday. I wasn’t feeling nearly as sweaty and glistening as I was two weeks ago
wearing the red booty shorts haha. But still, I told myself not to go above
405lbs without straps. 405lbs would be enough and I had farmer’s walk with max
distance again so save it for the time when grip is going to matter. It is
probably a good idea that I didn’t hold off with the straps as the first set
with straps felt alien. Not sure what that was about. I was trying to not hype myself
up on these as I knew that if I wanted to hit my goal for the session, I’d need
to hype that lift up and if I needed to hype up to get these lifts leading up
to it, then I wasn’t going to be getting it. Starting to realize that I really
can’t go much above 800lbs on this bar with the garage weights but I’m not at
that level yet and I got a lot of time before that time comes. If it ever does.
My last set before going big was the same weight I dd the triple with last
time. I had indicated that it was a two rep PR and it was. It was for me coming
back from injury as of 2016. However, it was not a lifetime PR. The next weight
would be. 585lbs didn’t feel as hot as last time but I was hyping myself up for
that one. Anything over 585lbs without a suit on any of the lifts would be the
most I’ve done in training raw at this point from after the 2016 injury. But I
remember lifting 625lbs for a double on this lift almost 8yrs ago to the date.
I didn’t want to just have background music playing. I wanted something that
made me feel something. I find that it gives me just a little more extra when I
have something with the music. I had success with a love song last week on axle
rdls so lets give that another shot with something like that. Got set and
ready. I could feel like I was about to puke. I hadn’t felt like that all this
workout. I would be so mad if I missed this lift. First one was hard but it
went up fast. I knew the double was going to be troublesome. I didn’t want to
use the rebound and bounce. Needed these to be dead stop reps to count. To mean
it. Much slower. Legs got shaky. But no hitching on this. My grip went in the
right hand but holding on with finger tips. I know I can do more than this from
the floor with a suit with how this felt. I got a year to try and replicate
this from the floor to feel like I’m in the 700lbs range raw. But this was a
near maximum effort for a double. Hopefully I’m not burning things too fast
here. Progress has been very good the last four weeks on my pulls. Makeshift ab
roller using the barbell and 45lbs plates. Same as last time but advised to do
1-3 more reps. My one leg wasn’t cramping up this time. I feel like these are
difficult but I can keep doing them. But I’m going to save the reps for next
time and just try and be smart with some of the things I do. Sore abdominals
make other stuff difficult haha. Side plank raises followed that. Easier I
think this time. The disparity between the rigidity and stability was almost
equal compared to last time where one side was difficult and the other was
super easy. At leftovers and then stretched before cleaning up. I think I can
do big things if I stay healthy.
