Exodus Strength

Combo update of yesterday and today. Of course I did my cardio (exercise bike) and light bro stuff Sat and Sun.

sets x reps

12/3/2018
Press (Strict)
110x2x8

I don't like 8 reps on the main lifts about as much as I dislike OHPs. I'm thinking of sub'ing incline press and some DB bench work for the OHP. If I keep OHPs I might try OHPing with my bulky MG-1 bar which makes me lean back like an incline press at the start and finish.

Light Bench:
175x6x2

Today:
Squat (low bar)
205x8x2

No more 8 rep sets on my main lifts for me for awhile. I have wanted to try 8 rep sets on my main lifts; I can now check that off. Besides, I have enough problems breathing normally and getting light headed...; consequently, these 8 rep sets, even at light weight, just plain sucked for me. Normally, I try to keep my rests between sets to 3-4 minutes. However, with these two light 8 rep squat sets, I was still trying to catch my breath at the 4 minute mark--ridiculous.

SGDL:
165x8x2

I'm using straps for my SGDLs.

I haven't been feeling worth a crap for awhile. But, today I'm trying to get back into the saddle. Nothing fancy. Pure vanilla. I hope you have a good laugh. Here goes:

Notes: Nothing really to report. I just wanted to get back into the garage before to much time passed. My latest 2019 goals: try to stay out of the sick bed and try to stick with at least one routine for 12 weeks. You know as long as I'm still alive that's a win, too!
