10/1 push B
Well weight didn't climb like I would've liked this week but all wasn't lost and some gains were made. Il spare the whining and crying but it was a shit week outside the gym. That said, surprised myself incline barbell pressing today after using Smith for so long. Shoulder/elbow just can't handle being locked into position like that. The barbell allows me to move more freely and naturally and monte agreed to it. As long as I have a spotter and make progress, that is!! He's been pretty great so far, so shout-out to him.

Thanks for the updates brother! Looking ripped. Deadlifts when you still have DOMS is the worst, even just trying to squat to take a sh*t is painful. Loving the log!
9/26 pull(back/hams)
Twas a good day aside from rows just felt/were weak AF and because my legs are still wrecked I absolutely could not get down into position to pull deads conventional. Was able to pull sumo tho so not all was lost. I tried 3 or 4 times conventional but I knew it wasn't right before I even watched video.
Lastly, supposed to do my close grip pulldowns with long handles but they were nowhere to be found so I assume they were upstairs which was closed already so had to use 2 D-handles.

Finally feeling human again so we to gym today finally. 2 WEEKS IS FAR TOO DAMN LONG!!! Only lost 6 lbs through this flu/covid ordeal and strength loss could've been much worse. Didn't do any intensity techniques tho so as to not push it and probably won't over the weekend either. Anyway, on to the good stuff.

Bi weekly meeting went way longer than usual this week so I missed my last super set at the end but I suppose I got the most important stuff done. Got all my pressing and one isolation for each part so could've been worse. Been having crazy pumps this past week I've noticed. I assume the glycogen stores finally got filled back up last week finally after show from eating a little more every coupe days. Up 8lbs so far but I'll be glad to be back to 200+ lbs. Wheres my post show rebound, WTF [emoji19] lol.i know this is smarter healthier way tho. Slow and steady back up the ladder.
