Acorn’s A.D.D Almanac 2024

[acorn93]

Front Squat 300x1 (10lb PR)

[acorn93]

3 Count Pause Bench 255x1 (5lb PR)

Only a day of rest between this and DE day (80% for 8 triples) so not recovered. Picked a variation I haven’t done in months instead of going for the planned 305x1 on TnG Bench.

[acorn93]

SSB Squat 340x1 (5lb PR)

I suck at this variation.

[acorn93]

Press 192.5x1 (2.5lb PR)

Went conservative here considering I haven’t pressed much since the shoulder injury in December. Pretty happy with this. 200x1 should happen this year.

Press 192.5x1 (2.5lb PR)

Nice. Hardest PR to come by among the big four, in my estimation.

[acorn93]

2” Deficit Deadlift Straps 435xfail (5lb PR miss)

Disaster of a day. This pretty much confirmed that I should switch away from ME 1RMs for a while. I’ve had my eye on running 8/5/2 for a while so I think that’s what I’ll do. I’ll probably just upload my last sets here.

[acorn93]

8/5/2 Touch and Go Bench Last Set 205x9

First day of the new routine. So detrained from higher reps. Also fucked my right shoulder up at work. Realistically I probably have a small cuff tear in both shoulders. Started doing some exercises at night but need to be better about it. Got this session done in under an hour which is a plus.

[acorn93]

8/5/2 Conventional Deadlift Hook Grip Top Set 315x8

Easy set. Got the whole workout done in about an 1 hour and 15 which includes the 2ish mile jog beforehand.

[DanCR]

852 Conventional Deadlift

Ha, got reallly caught there for a second.

[acorn93]

That would be one hell of an increase lol

[acorn93]

8/5/2 Press Last Set 135x8

I’m not feeling this like I was with conjugate. Honestly thinking about going back but need to set some stricter rules.

[acorn93]

Low Bar Pause Squat 380x1 (5lb PR)

Short lived fling from conjugate to say the least…Conjugate I can’t quit you baby!! Lol Squat was a little high today so I’ll need to watch that next time.

[acorn93]

45 Degree Incline Bench 250xfail (10lb PR miss)


45 Degree Incline Bench 242.5x1 (2.5lb PR)

Should’ve went w/ 245 first. Still walked away with a small PR. When this lift goes up so does my flat bench. I should start pushing this again now that my shoulder is better.

[acorn93]

High Bar Squat 385x1 (10lb PR)

Lost some tightness at the bottom. This angle makes my squats look a little high but from the side they’re at parallel.

[acorn93]

Low Bar Squat 410x1 (5lb PR)

All time PR. Maybe a little high but I’m still happy about it. I think I may switch out high bar squats for low bar for DE days in the future.

[acorn93]

Also forgot to add no video from Monday’s bench as I unexpectedly missed my last warm-up at 265 on paused Larsen bench. Definitely has to do with fatigue from the day before. I’m considering moving ME bench to Friday so i can come in fresher.

Noticed the thread count went from 399 to 400 and had to see who it was

Good luck, I’m also trying to wring out the last of my “golden years”. Using any pre-workout? Dieting tricks to put on weight?
