Medically Diagnosed with a Well Developed Appearance

[Allentown]

That time again:

Mar 29
Left adductor felt awful

Must be contagious. At least you did it squatting. I did it on the fucking good girl machine.

We don’t have her kids this weekend and she’s on call at work (which at her job effectively means, “going to work”), so I plan to use my freedom to sit on the couch all day with a book in one hand and the massage gun in the other.

This one?

In an attempt to make sure I can walk for the rest of the week, I cut 3 sets of pause squats out. Overall easy session, hardest part was the last few reps of elevated squats from fatigue.

About the same as last week. Probably drop the weight on all these movements a bit and get more solid.

A slight bump in total volume over my last DL session where I felt good coming in. Like 40lbs kind of bump. 495 felt @9-9.5, but last set of 440 was probably @9.5-10. Overall pretty solid session.

Deadlift 495x2 […] @9-9.5

Nice

Can't say I'm sad about a 5 plate double.

School is out, and we did a bad job Petey getting into any summer programs.

Except this week, apparently, where I forgot he has tennis camp 9-10 every day, and managed to schedule two work meetings I am leading and a dentist appointment for that time...

Curls were brutal. Probably the most agonizing thing I've done since Xfit or something. Hands falling asleep, crazy lactic acid buildup, it just hurts.

Kept top set very reasonable, meaning @9 or @8.5. Mostly wasn't super thrilled with the second rep so I decided two was fine. Added two to pause squats though, because I can't be reasonable for a whole session.

Second set of 265 was @10 so I cut the weight.

This far on this "bulk" I've stayed largely at the same holes on my belt, but a tad tighter on those holes. Getting close to needing to move the lever back out on the lever belt though.
