203.5/202.1

BBB 2.1.3
Jogmill, 14:1
6ish miles in 1:18
Odometer read 6.22, and I felt faster but the speed wonkiness.

I was nonstop all day and under-ate by a bunch. Run felt good though.
Rehearsals went ok today.
Feeling a bit more in control

In a fit of rage I punched a filing cabinet (like a back fist movement).
My hand has been hurting all day. Hoping it’s not broken. Or probably just deciding it’s not broken. I have full ROM.
Whatever…

ETA: updating my spreadsheet and I realized I never logged monday. Pretty sure I did a YMCA workout on Monday but I don’t remember

Yesterday
After a nope day (Wednesday), I tried doing day 2 yesterday. Nope again
I got
Squat (45,135,185,215,240,270)x5 shut it down and went to sleep

Today
203.3/202.5

Gonna try to press and TBDL today

For the last week of 2022 I’m going to try to
1) get my 800 miles (20 to go)
2) Finish the core bits of my BBB challenge (5x10 TBDL, SSB squats and iBench)
3) Keep my daily calories under maintenance
4) plan my next block (GGBB accumulation phase)

206.7/203.2 ok I gotta stop for real.

Tested my NGPUs
I got 21, definitely not dead hang and with some body English towards the end. Still better than reps I have seen at the Y, but that’s a low bar.
Still owe my BBB challenge incline bench and SSB squat 5x10. If I skipped the deadlift and press main lifts it’s not the end of the world.
Oh and 14 more miles
Oh and a Murph.

This is a sketch of what the next block is going to look like. This is based on GZCL’s GGBB, which is focused on a top set followed by half (or 3/4) sets. Basically I’m trying to turn the 6s into 12s and the 10s into 20s. I’m committing to at least 5 weeks of this, up to 8. Then I’m going to take wherever I end up and run it out linearly for 6-8 weeks.
We’ll see.

I don’t like waved progressions where the reps aren’t matched to the effort. 531 5s pro just doesn’t work for me. Maybe I can accept that now.

Monday
Pullaparts
—ss w/ bench warm up
Bench 205x6
— ss w/ wtd NGPU +25
Incline Bench 135x10
— ss w/ upright rows 55xMRSx3
Run intervals

Tuesday
Hanging Leg Raises, DB curls
— ss w/ squat warm up
Squat 255x6
— ss w/ TB row 160x10
TBDL 280x10
— ss w/ pullaparts
Leg Blasters

Wednesday
Long jog

Thursday
Ab Wheel
— ss w/ press warmups
Press 105x6
— ss w/ bw pull-ups
NGBP 150x10
— ss w/ lateral raise
Run intervals

Friday
Nordic Curls
— ss w/ DL warmups
DL 375x6
— ss w/ ez curl
SSB squats 200x10
— shrugs?
Half Cindy or Burpees

Saturday
Long jog

It's funny I also recently came across this GGBB idea of top set and half sets. I like it a lot, especially for bodybuilding style work.

I've run the OG General Gainz program a couple of times over the years. The big difference is the inclusion of T1 intensities and the follow ups are singles. I couldn't really volumize T1s well, but it was fun starting with a 6rm and running it out to a 2 or 3rm.

I remember my deadlift liking a 3rm-5rm rep max with straps, followed by hooked singles

206.3/203.5
Fun facts:
weekly calorie avg 4640
Weekly calorie high 6598
I’ve been hitting protein, but all of this food is junk and beer

BBB - the end
SSB squats 3-4 minutes rest belted
205x10x5
I had to blast Wutang and the slam the bar a bit to get to the last set.

205 is my close to my bw and ~67% of my SSB 1rm max

Going to RI for at least a day, should get a run in there tomorrow. Then I’ll start the new block whenever.
