Nice day out, almost 50, not much wind....track is clear after that storm missed us and several days in the 40s. Really pounded these 110s, went full speed on all of them. Few more weeks and I'll take a time in the 100 to get a baseline for where I'm at.
Not super energetic here, but still enough to get 280 on incline benching. Dialed back a bit on the deadlifts this week, reps I did do felt like a bit of a grind though, didn't have a ton of pop in my break from the floor. That may have been because I had to use the thick bar; it's almost Texas-Bar type thickness.

Played some basketball for maybe 15 minutes beforehand...I forgot how much I love it. I can actually jump even higher now, makes driving to the hoop easier.
Slushy snow on parts of the track, really slowed me down on the 400, just did one here. I never thought there'd come a day where only doing one 400 was odd for me. I'm hoping once the track is clear I can get back to doing 2-4 during these sessions. We may have another Nor'easter coming, which would be the 4th in 3 weeks, hopefully it blows over though.
Well this was a fun session...bumped up 1/4 pin squats, probably not going to keep it there though, just too draining. Benched 300, felt good & clean too. Got 250 on 2 different sets, haven't done that in a while either. Haven't done DB rows in ages either, so that was fun. Continuing to move up on triples with squatting; I'll probably stay at that weight next week as well.

Still snow on the track, it's melted a bit, but there's still like 4" on it, made this session particularly tough.
Nothing unusual here, was a bit tired so I didn't go high on the weight really.

Well, no track today, but did get about 60 minutes of shoveling in, over 3 sessions...kept getting wetter & heavier as time went on. No bueno.
Went up the ladder here with weight on guillotine pressing, going to try regular benching next week. Front squats went well, hit 300 again. Dropped weight on the paloff presses, feel like I was getting sloppy with them. No reason to be prideful there, I'd rather have nice abs.

Some snow on the track from a recent storm...starting to melt though making it slick, so I wore hiking sneakers for this one...
