30sX20, 12

Face-pulls, rope extensions, rope hammer curls - 1 set of 100 each

Treadmill - 8 sprint interval, 5 minutes jogging

All good.  Glad I dropped back to the 30s instead of trying to keep pushing the 35s.  These sets felt much higher quality.

Another good session.  Nothing really to say, as everything went about as it should have with bar speed, etc.

Forearms were really burning after the shrugs.

superset with
EZ Bar Curls - BarX70, 35

Weighted Vest - 25 minutes walking

Nice session.  Bench was fast and smooth.

Pulldowns were a little rougher this time, but I was using the "other" machine which has no knee brace and the seat is directly under the pulley.  That makes everything sort of awkward, and the muscles at the top of my abdomen and on either side of my sternum are actually a little sore from keeping my torso braced.

The EZ bar I used today was a little lighter.  It's just the one that was nearest, but I weighed it to make sure I wasn't imagining things and it's 2-3 lbs. under the other bar I'd been using.

Wife walked with me this evening.  How much nicer it is to have some company.

LRB 365: 100 Reps. Week 3. Squat

BW - 197

Weighted Vest - 25 minutes walking

Squat -
BarX12 (paused)
115X5 (paused)
135X4
165X3
185X2
215X1, 1
225X1

Cable Rows - 1 set of 100

Lunges - BWX50, 30, 24

Ab Wheel - 2 sets of 10+

Everything was pretty solid.  There is a little mental thing I'm fighting with where the non-existent rest times are making these lighter squats seem harder than they "should."  Just gotta remind myself that rest-time plays into it along with everything else.  Top sets are still smooth and strong.

Cable rows were a little bit rougher today, but I think that was due a lot to training early in the AM.

Max rep lunges still suck.

Had some time till the bus, so threw in some ab wheel.  Throwing this in once a week or so to make sure the sit-ups in the next phase aren't a nightmare.

LRB 365: 100 Reps. Week 2. Accessory

BW - ???

DB Press -
20sX15
30sX15
35sX13

Face Pull, Rope Extensions, Rope Curls - 1 set of 100 each

Treadmill Intervals - 8 intervals, 20 minutes

Solid little session.  Next week, I should probably just stick with the 30s and rep those out.  Got to remember the point of all this.

BB Shrugs - 135X65, 35 (no straps)

Everything went pretty well even though I'm operating in a big sleep/nutrition deficit because of having company in town all week.

Pause Squats were smooth, but I'm making them be harder by pausing long in the bottom and really focusing on exploding upwards.  What I mean is, these would be easy if I just dropped into the hole, held it for a beat, and then casually stood back up.  Much harder this way.

Deads are all still feeling strong and fast.

Decided to try the shrugs without straps for some extra grip work, and it wasn't a problem!  So I'll keep that as I work towards getting 100 non-stop.
