Finding weight

JM
C2 Row 5min
Inclines 95x5, 115x3, 135x3, 155x3, 165x3, 175x3 - Never had access to an incline on a regular basis so these felt weird. Right shoulder was angry with my pinkies on the ring, but everything felt OK with a medium grip (for me, a thumb's distance in from the smooth). 165 feels like a good starting point.
Chin/pull-ups 5x3
Front squats 135x3, 155x3, 185x3, 205x3 - Everything power cleaned in to position. Just like in the past these come up easy, but keeping the bar racked on my shoulders without putting a shit load of pressure on my wrists is the hardest part. I'll be working on wrist and triceps flexibility to help while practicing this lift.

Squat

JM
Leg swings
C2 row 5min
Squat 135x5, 185x4, 225x3, 285x(1,2,3)x3 - a little knee drift but not bad at all. Seems like the more I focus on the knee drift the less I have going out of the hole. Its never a problem with this weight but hopefully keeping my knees out will be second nature soon and I'll be able to maintain it when applying near max force

F-it ladders it is

I forget what I did on Friday, but I wasn't with it and felt like a change. I'm going with ladders until they peter out for me. On a weekly basis I aim to do 2-3 squat sessions, 2-3 bench sessions, and maybe 1 deadlift session. Its going to be free form with to goal of getting those in.

Squat m1 w1

I'm probably trying too many things at once. I reset back about 30lbs for squats and deads, and 15lbs for power cleans. I felt like things were getting too grindy. I'm also switching to a new 3-day full-body template. On top of that for the 5/3/1 stuff I'm going for 3s on week one, 5s week two, and 1s week three. I plan on getting the prescribed reps then doing an additional set with the top weight up to 8 RPE, or some singles up to 8 RPE. I'm hoping to fit in cardio and accessory work on the other four days during the week.

Maxwell Daily
Leg swings
C2 rower 750m
Power clean 95x5, 115x5, 135x3, 145x5, 165x5, 185x5 - a royal pain in the ass with the flat sided plates
Squat 135x5, 185x3, 205x5, 235x5, 265x5 - hard but not too hard
HLR 2x6,1x7
Seated and standing calf raises 3x10-12
Bad girls 3x10-15

For the record I'm following this template from lift-run-bang.com for getting my conditioning back up without fucking my calves/shins again.


week 1 - steady state 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes. Walk the same way if you are outside and try to increase the distance by a little bit each time in the same 30 minutes. If you are on a threadmill (yuck) then just up the MPH a little bit each time.
week 2 - same as week 1 but add in a jog here and there during parts of the walk. You don't have to do it very long, 10-15 seconds is fine. Throw in 2 or 3 during the 30 minutes.
week 3 - 45 minutes, add in 4-5 jogs at a slightly faster clip.
week 4 - drop a steady state day and do hills or interval sprints. Do not run all out. Just a nice sprint.
week 5 - same as week 4 just increase the number of hills or interval sprints
week 6 - go to 1 steady state day and 2 days of hills or intervals.
week 7 - 2 steady state days 1 day of hills or intervals
week 8 - start going back and forth between weeks 6 and 7. You should be in decent shape by now. If you want to take it up a notch just keep bumping the number of hills or sprints. When you can run 20 hills without any rest except the walk back down, you're in fucking shape. No doubt about it.

-I'll fuck around with 195 again before doing 205. Surprisingly I felt like catching the PCs put me in a better rack position than setting up from the squat rack. I think I'll continue to clean in to the position for as long as I can.

Chin-up ladder 35x1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,4 super setted in with PP's - Move to 45 already.

Hit the gym and did about 15min of reverse curls, push-downs and incline sit-ups for sets of 10. Finished off with a few sets of easy calf raises.

OMFG a One Rack Gym Sucks!

5min stationary bike
Bench 95x5,135x5,185x3,205x2x12 or something a couple triples thrown in there. I was feeling extremely strong.
DB Rows in between 9 or 10 sets of 3s and 5s 100# - easy
The squat rack was taken up the this whole time so I started doing front squats with with a power clean to get it in position. These really sucked since the bar was bent and thus rolling in to my neck at times. Also, it occurred to me that I'm not very good at getting from a racked position to a press type position. This is essential for me for two reasons: #1 so I can clean and do overhead work with something heavy, #2 so I can lower the bar in a controlled manner from the clean position and not piss off the gym owner.
Clean to front squats - worked up to 3x3 with 175
Front squats 175x3x8 or so
Worked on going from rack to press position up to 185 - just getting confident with this shit.
A few sets of 12 calf raises in between the above shit.
Anyways I felt pretty strong on the benches - Holding my breath from rack to first rep seems like the way to go for a big single.
Life has been getting in the way of hitting the gym - I need to be more vigilant about going and doing what I can when I can and quit pussing out. The shit is only going to get more busy in the future so I might as well get fuckin used to it. Fuck all this introspection. I feel like deleting it now.

5min stationary bike - its raining and I pussed out on jogging there
Squats 95x5, 135x5, 195x5x6 - Easy... I'm going to start skipping 95 in warm ups. It feels good to stretch with it a little but it feels like nothing.
OHP 95x3, 135x3, 145x1s, 2s and 3s for 30 total - I had planned on just doing ladders of 1-3 but 145 for 3 is a stretch at times when fatigue sits in
Chins - narrow parallel grip 25#x3x10 or so - just 3 between most sets of presses
Tried out a few face pulls for sets of 10 toward the end. Feels good but they are definitely an accessory movement and only good for an off day.
Overall some good training economy today. Less than 15min for squats and around 20min for chins and presses.

I should and could be going faster. Next time I bench I should work up quickly to a hard single then use that as a percentage. If I feel like shit do 185 again but faster.
