Week 2, Day 2
~4" Deficit Deadlift: 4 sets of 2 with 380 (no belt)
Bench Press, Paused: 3 sets of 2 with 240 (no belt)
^ This was the top of a pyramid.
- I increased the 80% to 240 from 235. I'm also doing the same increase for 85%, going to 255 from 250.
Deadlift: 5 sets of 3 with 465
^ Toward the end of the second portion of deads, the manager of the gym suspended my membership, which I canceled at the end of the session, because a personal trainer told me to stop using chalk, and I refused. The callus under my pinky became severely torn because I was using their ineffective Liquid Grip, before I started using the real thing. He allowed me to finish my workout, so I did some accessory stuff before leaving and never coming back.
- New gym on Friday, one that hopefully doesn't ban chalk after I start a contract with them, like this gym.
One-Arm Grenade Pulldown: 2 sets of 8, each arm, with 100
Good Morning, Arched Back, Straight Legs: 3 sets of 5 with 245 (no belt)
Lateral Raise, Machine: 9,8 with 135

Week 2, Day 3
New gym. This one was recommended by a friend who does powerlifting/strongman, and looks much better in regards to chalk and deadlifts.
Squat: 5 sets of 3 with 375
Bench Press, Paused: 5 sets of 3 with 225
Squat: 4 sets of 4 with 325 (no belt)
Hip Abduction, LifeFitness Machine: 3 sets of 10 with 260
^ First time on this one, the opposite of the adduction machine which I used on Monday. My inner thighs were still sore from that!
One-Arm Dumbbell Curl w/ Fat Gripz, Preacher Bench: 1 set of [5 (right), 2 (left)] with 50
^ This was too heavy, especially for my left arm.
Leg Raise, Straight, Forearms Supported: 10,9,8 with BW+20
