My bar is a slightly cambered buffalo bar after bending it doing rack pulls the other day. Does make it feel a little harder.

Save some pussy for the rest of us clubber Lang. That set up is warrior shit. Reminds me of benching with rusty weights and boxing in my friends backyard in high school

Out here building character and a bigger bench.
Liking that old-school backyard weight setup. You going for that Rocky-style training now?

Haven't got motivated for cardio just yet.
Might be a good time for that

Cardio is sets of more than 10reps in this forumMight be a good time for that
Well that makes sense...

Was kind of in a hurry to lift and get to work yesterday, but I just did the bench portion. Worked up to some easy doubles with 325lbs.

Went off program and tried a conventional deadlift AMRAP with 500lbs for the hell of it. Got 500x10, which I think my all time conventional 10 rep PR was 495x10, so not bad with all the time off. All time sumo 10 rep PR was 565lbs.
After I catch my breath will finish up with 5x4 at 325lbs slingshot bench in place of bench with chains.

Week recap and plans and changes
Going forward I'm dropping the HGH for awhile to see if it helps with aches and pains. Also I think it'll bring my heart rate down a little. It's creeped up a lot this last month, which I guess is to be expected on a high test cycle.
I guess it's still within what's considered normal range, but it feels uncomfortable to me. Makes me feel anxious a lot. I'm used to mid 60's to low 70's since I got this Fitbit in December. My girlfriend says I should quit wearing it because I'm kind of obsessed with it and that probably makes it worse.
Blood pressure was also creeping up and I started up some Lisinopril a few days ago. Checked it this morning and it was 77/118, so hopefully that'll keep it in range.
Hip hurts pretty bad today. I've mostly just been lying around watching TV over the weekend and I'm sure that doesn't help. I was planning on getting back to regular lifting tomorrow, although a lighter squat training max.
Sleep was mostly decent besides a few days only getting six hours.
Food intake was good besides two days I woke up still full and couldn't finish my breakfast. I'm doing my food prep now and adding a tablespoon of olive oil to all my shakes. Also trying out a new protein bar recipe using almond butter and snickerdoodle flavor protein powder.
Got some board press singles with 380lbs coming up this week. Curious to see how that weight moves. Also finally got that MK 677 in yesterday that I ordered back in February. Not gonna use it for now as the water weight would add to blood pressure issues. Might throw it in at the very end of the blast if I totally fail to gain weight so I can maybe put up a bigger bench through increased body weight.

325 instead of 320 on bench because weird plate math. OHP in place of dips.

Bad session today. Hit RPE 10 the first set of 360x2 board press. Just went ahead and stopped there. Haven't had time to get enough sleep this week so I guess just not recovering. 325x3 bench felt like nothing on Monday.

Bench moved kind of shitty. Skipped squats and accessories to sleep an extra 45 minutes and still only got five hours. Just dead tired and feel like shit. Looking forward to getting some sleep this weekend, hopefully Monday's session goes better. Just not nearly enough hours in the day.

Well, looking at the videos bench wasn't terrible. Never any grinders, just not super fast. The 340x2 were maybe RPE 8ish. Just felt shitty. I'm like the Snickers commercials except I'm not me when I'm sleepy.
Is the heat getting to be a problem yet? Heat and lack of sleep is a nasty combo.

It's not really that hot yet. It's been raining almost every night, so hasn't been too bad.

Strict press 185x5x3
Pull ups 3x6
Worked up to a 555x1 conventional deadlift and missed 605x1
Might just finish off this blast running Smolov Jr. for bench and just do squat and deadlift when time and sleep allows. Will be the last blast I do until I can get a place closer to my work.

Been following mostly on IG lately bro. Everything is looking good. Do you expect a new bench max this cycle?
Perrin Aybara

Yeah, I think at least 425lbs is reasonable. More would be nice.
