-DB bent shrugs (squeeeeeeze and stretch): 100s x20,15,12

Crushed everything today.  Had to add weight to the CG work to make it productive!  180 felt like it needed another 20 pounds on there!  The 160 sets increased to where hypothetical reps 6-7 would've been rough grinders on the third set.

Bought and brought back to life a nice old incline bench today! Great, sturdy frame. Had to build a new backrest and seat for it. Working out the kinks but it turned out damn fine, especially considering the $50 I have invested in it!

-Strict log press: 160x7x3

Kind of a slog. Low energy day, and I just listened to a podcast while I pressed. Turns out I misloaded again - made a 10# jump - supposed to be a +5# week. Feels good to have stuck it out though. 
Have a nice weekend.

Thanks man. Big things in the works. Just getting back into the neck work. Trying to get back to 53x3x50 a few times a week.
 

Elbow tendons are pretty bothered lately so the grip work has fallen off to just grippers. Trap bar is tough too, oddly. It’s a new movement and all, but definitely more challenging than I anticipated. I’m not accustomed to that much leg drive off the floor. Should pay dividends if I stick with it. I needed some alternative as barbell/axle/conventional/sumo everything else was irritating my SI joint.

Good stuff, i need to get back to it myself. Not done any in a couple of weeks. Sitting at 17 "relaxed now so need to get back on it.

Take it easy and let those tendons heal if you can. The trap bar is good. I used to like to standing on something to increase the rom. Would smoke the quads.

-SSB: 350x2,2, 295x5,5,5, 245+50# chains for a single. Just playing with the new chains for a rep. Unloads about 20# in the hole and allows me to get really deep easily.

Took two full rest days. Restored an elitefts GHD I picked up locally. Frame was rusted and the pad was torn, but nothing duct tape, staples, a wire brush and some paint couldn’t handle! I think it turned out great!

Pull ups: 5,5,5, +25x3, +45x5

Very pleased with the press. Weighed 186.8 today so that’s nearly a bodyweight strict press triple. I had more in me but didn’t want to crush anything this week; just take it for a little ride. Probably could’ve tied the 185x4 I hit earlier this year in elbow sleeves. My biceps and elbows/forearms are still cranky from all the pulling and curl volume the last two weeks. Shut the pull ups down early. Good little back-off session.

Knee issues popped up Friday so I took three consecutive days of rest, went hiking over the weekend and finished painting all the gear for the gym. It’s pretty bad ass.

CRUSHED the bench. Way too light but I’m sticking with the plan, for now. Sometimes you need some easy wins. Knee felt good.

Taking care of the elbows.  Overdid it a few weeks ago and paid for it.  fortunately, that was just before my deload week.  My arms are plenty big for my taste, so the curls are there for a little maintenance-plus and some elbow/forearm health.  Backing off the row weight next week as my technique is getting sloppy.

- Front squat: 300x3,3, 265x8,2, 140x2
(50 pounds of chain added to achieve numbers, unloads 20# in the hole.  First set of eight crushed me. Just keeping the bar in place and my torso rigid was murder.  Weight was easy.  Nothing left to finish the second set though.  Even with 140 lbs, body and brain said "NOPE!")
