My strength is back from covid. I still need to learn how to pull again but at least 365# went up without a problem. Decent day. Shouldn’t be too sore for PT tomorrow.

I’ve forgotten how to pull, my hips hurt, and I can’t lock out my right knee. Today sucked but I did a pull up.

Today wasn’t fun. It hurt. Covid robbed my legs. The 5th rep was pure ego. Yay shrugs.

To hell with the deload, we rocking. Pulls felt solid. I was a little stiff but was able to loosen up. I need to concentrate on form and really work on leaning back. I’ll generate more power. Skipped the x10 deadlift work today. Should stick to at least 2 sets. The rest was gravy. Shrugs should be 70#. Inverse curls need to lighten a bit at well (counterbalance). Reverse curls can be heavier. I’ll load up 55 next week. Guess and check.

I liked today. I enjoyed today. Looking through my phone, found a video of an ugly 365# pull October 25. Today’s 355×3 was solid. Shrugs need to go up in weight, as do curls and pulls. I’m getting stronger.

Solid pull day. Progressing to a full 5×10 is still going to take time. I do not have any knee pain tonight writing this which is good. Still, should have pushed for the 3rd set.

Deadlift day is always a favorite. Solid pull day. Got a little side tracked talking to a couple of people but doesn’t kill me to be social every so often. Inverse curls probably need to drop down to 205? They should have felt a bit spicier. I want to make good use of that machine for at least two blocks. I’ve not really done any focused bicep work in 5-6 months? Was happy with 40’s. Should probably try 45’s.

Good pulls today. Only needed to hit one so very pleased with three. Was a bit short on time today so this one was hurried. Skipped planks.

Raining today so farmer walks were skipped. Messed around with some Kelso shrugs (thanks Drew!) as well. I am rather uncomfortable at the moment (dammit Drew!). I’m going get to 5×10 for deads just to prove it’s possible. That first and only set of 225 was murder. I need to make use of the inverse curl machine. Next block. Pulls felt solid.
