Notes: Failed on the 4th set I think I just lost the groove. I'm benching a little wider. The first workout with pauses the only thing sore were my triceps which made me think I was a little narrow, so brought out a little. Nice pump on the pecs, but with that much volume it was going to happen.
Right knee is sore, I missed a step on vacation and hurt it a little. Not sure what I do Wed, I need to deadlift but I think I like Squats on wed and then deads on Friday so I might wait we'll see.
I don't like my arms they look too small so been doing more curls.

Post Covid I had lost a lot of weight and I really forced myself to eat extra. Probably overdid it a little. I'll pull it back here now that the weight is back up. What I am really liking about the pauses on the bench is that for some reason I am finding the groove and each rep seems pretty much the same. I'm really liking that as I was seeming to have a hell of a time fin ding the groove. As far as the Squat I'm just really happy with the depth and I'm starting to develop some explosive power at least with the lighter weights. Feels good!.

I sprained my erectors on the Squat the other day so called it after the pullups. Maybe do some light pressing later. Haven't done that in a while.

The bench looks I think worse than it is because of the paused reps, it is bad but it is also getting better.

My erectors were still sore so I used that as an excuse to grab some aerobics. Was very slow on the hill with the 40lb vest but got the 20 flights in so that was good. Maybe I'll run on Friday and just do aerobics on the legs for a while. Covid has really knocked the wind out of my sails and I think I need that.
On the Bench I'm only going to go every 4-5 day so I'm upping the volume. If I can't get strong I'll at least increase my work capacity.
Still kickin ass!
Trying to get that Back strong so you can haul deer on your back, eh? =)
For sure the work with the weighted vest, helps getting up and down those ravines with a pack.Quote:

My right arm is really weak at the lock out and it seems to have gotten worse with the paused reps, so back to touch and go. Getting stronger on the curls, go figure. I'm missing the Squats and Deadlifts.
Lots of work in here!
