Gonna drop soda entirely for November. I switched to diet years ago, but I don't need this poo poo in my life. This is going to suck, but I expect to be miserable and occasionally drunk all month anyway so might as well get good returns.

My dude if you drop the alcohol loving watch the pounds slide off. My go-to right now is a big glass mug of icewater with a squirt of lime juice and its better than any soda. Use soda water and im sure its even more ballin. E: like I've been without the alky for a mere month and that spare tire of mine is all but completely gone. poo poo works.

The maxim goes; 'don't drink your calories' and is the truest truth. It's like 30 degrees Fahrenheit in my workshop but I have tunes on and am lifting things because I skipped days being ill with the flu.

My friend brought me a bunch of beer from a brewery 5 hours away, so we stayed up a bit too late and drank a bit too much. I'm switching chest day from incline BB bench, cable fly, flat BB bench to flat bench, fly, then incline, in an attempt to hit that 10x225 flat bench. Of course today everything but the decline bench was busy at first so I did: Dec BB bench : 12x45, 8x135, 10x205, 10x205, 9x205, 8x205, 7x205 Fly : 12x71, 12x71, 12x71 BB bench : 10x155, 10x155, 8x155, 8x155, 7x155 then I ran out of time Felt pretty spacey and out of it for the first half of the workout, so I was leaving a few reps on the table while benching. My decline bench is usually 20lbs higher than my flat bench, so that's effectively less weight than I was doing last week when I wasn't even full recovered from chest day. Not going win the first to 10x225 contest at this rate.

Scale dipped below 320 today  I'm basically off the intermittent fasting wagon at this point but turns out counting calories still works, all shall bow down on the altar of thermodynamics.

I picked up a heavy weight on Sunday. JFC I got to do more gym work. I might be cardio fit but that means jack poo poo when my max's are a LONG way below what they should be.

I had a setback with my neck and shoulder a couple days ago, so back to physio. Fortunately I think I've worked out what's triggering it, and that thing would be bench press.

Heading to the gym in a bit. We'll see how light 225 is... Benching 5@155, 5@175, and 5@200 first.

Yeah, seriously my body is on some bullshit. That's alright, I'll try again later this week (schedule permitting) and see what happens. I'll go for 225 directly instead of doing my workout first. Real talk that weight not wanting to come up is a little scary. First time that's happened.

Adiabatic posted:My dude Im sorry for missing this but you're definitely close. LETS MAKE THIS A THREE WAY I'm not sure how fast I can add 40lbs to my 10rm, but I'm shooting for it. Tomorrow is chest day again so I'm hoping to have the flat bench free instead of the decline. I did back + biceps day on Saturday, four sets of pullups, four sets of pulldowns, then four sets of machine rows, followed by six sets of db hammer curls then six sets of bb curls. Felt fine after, just a little tired, but then I came home and mowed the lawn, then some extra yard work with the string trimmer and leaf blower. Everything still felt fine, then I decided to cut my nails and got horrible bicep cramps. They were bad enough I could only finish cutting my nails by leaving my hands down near crotch level, any attempt to raise them even to belly level resulted in incredibly painful cramps with a side of spasms. Took a shower and had a similar experience trying to shave. I then got tacos and went to a beer tasting, which seemed to help, so I think the answer was my body needed carnitas to fully heal.

Did some shoulder exercises using the women's weights (below 10 pounds they're rainbow colored  ). Shoulder is feeling better after going only a couple times, so hopefully I'll be back to being able to do stuff in the next couple months. Clavicle is about 50-60% healed says the doc.

The only flat barbell bench was in use by an old guy forever this morning, so I had to resort to the decline bench again. I hate ending with incline bench but it was the only thing open, it's non-adjustable with a steep angle so I always do way less weight with it than I do on the flat bench. Ended up doing: Dec BB bench : warmup, 12x215, 10x215, 9x215, 8x215, 7x215 Cable fly - 5 sets Inc BB bench : 11x125, 10x125, 8x125, 7x125, 7x125 then 5 sets of cable upright rows and 2 sets of machine rows. 12x215 felt pretty easy, pretty sure I'll have no trouble with 10x225 next time, but my decline bench is ~20lbs higher than my flat bench. After next week I'm taking a deload week, I don't realistically see me hitting 10x225 flat bench until mid-December at the earliest (and that may be aggressive).

Deadlifts tonight. I love deadlifts and now I'm able to pull decent weight without straps....and as I'm typing this I realize I'm basically pulling my bodyweight - Did 5x330 and I'm 343ish. Also squatted 5x225, 260, and 295. If things go as planned (and they drat well better), I'll be doing OHP and benching on Saturday and I'll give 225 a run for its money.

Okay, nearly no one in the gym, no stress and no rush. I got 2x3@225, then 1@225. The rest will be in my log later; I am sitting on the end of the bench writing this I suppose if I hit a set of ten I'll have to have a video or something as proof?

Hell yeah you'll have to have a video, and it better be calling me weak and small In other news I need to take a breather from bench, as this: Adiabatic posted:185x10 and 195x10 tonight! Last 195 had a pause but first 8 or so were solid. caused some pretty significant bruising between my biceps and shoulders.

Keep an eye on it. No use tearing up your shoulders for an internet challenge. Granted, I tore mine and had no outward signs of it, but still. You dropped a barbell on yourself, didn't you?

QuarkMartial posted:You dropped a barbell on yourself, didn't you? Man I wish it were that simple and stupid. So after that 205x9 I was feeling a burning line on my left side from the center of my bicep through that bruise and ending front of my shoulder. This morning after that 135x15 same line is hot. I must've pulled something. Gonna skip chest day for a week or so and let it heal, I guess. QuarkMartial posted:No use tearing up your shoulders for an internet challenge. DONT TELL ME HOW TO LIVE
