Shoggoth Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hey Eric, never see you post your grip training. Do take a fairly minimalist approach there too and just focus on 1-2 movements? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Sundays I do meet up with the guys and typically hit a few heavy sets of Saxon and a rolling handle. But I’m about to start training more seriously for Tucson, so maybe I’ll log that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Bench 50x5 70x8 90x5 110x5 130x5 @9.5 Thinking either the extra volume or throwing in military presses for the first time in a while last week may not allow me to bench twice weekly. Or I just need to adapt. Muscles still slightly sore today. 122.5x5 @9 Ok, definitely not even close to recovered. Better stop.

EricMilfeld Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Squat 75x5 75x8 105x5 125x5 150x16 Wasn’t good for the 20 rep PR I wanted. That’s okay, because mainly I wanted to get in a hard workout before my surgery Monday. Luckily I only have to refrain from lifting for a week. And I can console myself with the fact my body weight is down 10 pounds. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My chihuahua is a exceptional scavenger and possesses a warp speed drive. As of my bedtime last night he seemed to be doing a lot better. Kidney failure is the real fear, so hopefully he continues to pee ok today. And fortunately he puked it all up. Three bags of trail mix. He left the plastic alone, thank god. Sandy is in big trouble for leaving the pantry door open. But I could use this as leverage to return his rightful name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
