So, been a bit, stress level is back to being way too damn high which sucks, but I'll live, it's what I do. The promotion at work is in effect. So still have to learn a bunch of crap about that. We'll shut up there with the randomness.
Monday was "heavy" bench night, I'm still not going over 405 on anything but heavy bar shrugs. My plan was 3 bar press for a few sets/reps of 405, however I think I might have been a bit dehydrated because I could not get my triceps to stop cramping. So instead of like 3-5 sets of 3-5 I got 1 set of 3 and 1 set of 1 before I knew I had to stop because I was done. Kinda sucked but those days happen.
Tuesday was "heavy" deadlift night. I was feeling better coming in the gym tonight. Decided to pull from just below my knees, that's the 2nd pin while standing on a 3/4" piece of plywood. Went to 405 and did it 5 sets of 4. My back was pretty toasty after that but... did bar shrugs 3 sets of 8 with 495. Finished up with 3 sets of pullups to failure, was hitting 6-7 reps on those. That was it, back was tight from work and tonight had to do a little bit more rolling than normal but it felt good.
Since I'm pretty much off every Wednesday I'm going to redo my heavy days have them alternate again so that way I can pull heavy on Wednesday one week, then bench heavy on the next. That should work nicely and give me a bit more rest before. Now, as for the weight loss, as of Sunday morning I was 306.2 pounds. Once again that's still kind of terrifying, last time I was this small was probably around 2004 so I still have that nagging voice telling me I'm getting small and weak. The loss has been slowing a bit over the past few days, 306.0 this morning, which makes me think I'm about to plateau out. If it is right at the 300 mark that'll be a nice area to plateau in. That way I could switch up weight classes pretty easily. Still gotta keep trying to shut that voice up that's telling me I'm smaller and weaker.
