First session training by my lonesome full time after my coaches and team moved to another town.

Press was okay, but surprisingly heavy. I may move to 2.5# jumps after this.
More chins.

Conditioning. Week 3. Intervals 2
Intervals - 3, 1/4 mile intervals
My wife decided she wanted to start running again, so we did as many quarter-mile intervals as she felt comfortable with. I'm happy to down shift so that she can keep up.

Novice LP. Team Training. Session 7
Squat - 290X3X5
Bench - 170X3X5
Deadlift - 295X5
Last regular session working with my coach. He and his business partner have opened up their own facility in the next town over. Went up and trained with them on this day, but will not be continuing regular training.
All the lifts went well.

Novice LP. Team Training. Session 6
BW - 222
Squats - 282.5X3X5
Press - 110X3X5
Pull-Ups and Ring Chins - BWX3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2
Pull-downs - X8
My coach and I mis-communicated on today's weight, and so we mis-loaded the bar. We just decided to stay at the weight and just balance the load back out. These went well.
Press also went well.
I tried out some pull-ups. First time in a while. Hard. There's no chin bar in the room where the team trains, but someone had hung some rings. After a few sets of pull-ups, I went back into the team room and did some ring chins. Also hard.
This is almost certainly the last team training session. Kratos Strength, the coaches I've been working with, are opening their own facility. It's in a less convenient location, and will be more expensive than the current set-up. I'm going to check it out over the weekend, but it's hard to imagine I won't be back to training on my own-some starting next week.

Conditioning. Week 3. Intervals
Intervals - 5 Intervals @ 14:51 total, ~2:58/interval
Just couldn't find the time for conditioning last week. And it probably showed here. 2nd interval was really tough, before I started to drop in, but then I lost track of my pace and came in way over. Need to do better next week.

Novice LP. Team Training. Session 5
BW - 221
Squat - 275X3X5
Bench - 165X3X5
Deadlift - 285X5
Everything went pretty well, but the discomfort in my low back is continuing. If I do everything right as far as bracing hard, speed of decent, and bar path, it doesn't bother me as much. Any technical mistake makes it flare up. I'll probably need to make an appointment to go see my regular P.T.

Novice LP. Team Training. Session 4
BW - 221
Squat - 265X3X5
Press - 105X3X5
Chin-Ups - BW; 11 sets, 23 total reps
Pull-Downs - X7
Busy week. Tried to find time to squeeze in conditioning, but it was either lift or run. We'll try again this week.
On my own for this session. Barbell lifts went well.
As long as I'm on the LP, I think I want to alternate Chins and Deadlifts. On this day, I just kept doing AMRAP Chin-up sets until I couldn't get a single, strict rep. Then I hit a back-off set of pull-downs. Lats and brachialis are lit up two days later.
