If I thought I could’ve got one, I would’ve! Training went well though, deadlifts and bench both felt great. 280 x 4 x 5 on paused DL’s, and 305 x 4 x 5 regular DL’s… 210x 4 x 2, 225 x 3x2, and 240 x2x2 on bench… no pain in the shoulders or biceps tendon … hips felt loose on deadlifts…
I trained yesterday and today, even though the weekend was sub par and not optimal at all! Yesterday was squats, 200 (supposed to be 190 but used a 55 lb Buffalo bar) for 5x3, followed by pause squats 4x4 at 60-70%, I went with 60% as I’m lazy, and close grips 2x10 @ 190. I made it through all that, and then the bad part of my day started. My wife left the gym pissed off at me for nothing, I chased her down and we got in a pretty good fight in the middle of some street by our gym. After that I locked myself in our room and left everything off to de compress.
Today was slightly better, I deadlifted even though it was a deload. 280 x 4 x 5 off a deficit, 305 x4 x 5 off the floor, and bench was 210x4x2, 225x3x2, 240x2x2. Bicep wasn’t very happy, but honestly I did not care and muscled through it. I’ll probably pay for that this week. Deadlifts felt great, and I even managed to hit my accessory work today.

Squats tonight, hit 200x4x5, wasn’t feeling paused squats as my right hip has been a little tender this week, so I skipped them, and added close grips back in even though I’m not supposed to do them this week with maxing on bench twice (Thursday and Sunday). Accessory work went well, until my wife called me freaking out about a wall cloud over our house) so I had to cut short and GTFO and go home. I don’t think I’ll ever go much heavier on squats than I am now, in hopes to preserve my knees and my right hip as long as possible, sets of varying reps at 185-200 seems to be giving good cary over into deadlifts, eventually I may throw in some extensions, just to help with quad size, as my legs prior to my hip injury were always my alpha muscle group.
We’ll, the workout didn’t go quite as planned… deficit pulls we’re EASY, 325 off a 2” deficit FLEW, and everything felt good. I got a wild hair up my ass and decided I was going to bench between deficits and regular pulls, so I wasn’t too fatigued for my 1 Rep at RPE 9… I had done my first warmup at 95 and decided I needed to raise the J-hooks on the rogue bench 1 number as it’s new and I’m not quite sure what numbers I need to use off it, so just like on the titan bench/squat stand I did it by hand instead of using the levers… but fucking mistake, because this happened
Needless to say, 15 min later my wife was back at the gym taking me to the urgent care clinic to get my exploded hotdog looking finger put back together……. So, my workout was shit!
