Vin1968's Journal

[Vin1968]

Well, I guess I will start logging my workouts at M and B as well, since it looks like all the cool kids are doing it.

I have been an Intermittent Faster for about 8 months now. I was 198 lbs when I began following the Leangains protocol in March, and I have been holding steady at 165-167 lbs for several months now. I have been using Reverse Pyramid Training for about 19 weeks.

I am currently nursing a strained deltoid (I assume I strained it. Dr.? What's that?). It is feeling better each week, which is amazing considering the fact that I still push super hard with it, lol, I am a bit hard headed.

Deltoid still hurts. It felt really good last week, until I squatted. Squat position wreaks a bit of havoc on it.

Good day today. Last time I pulled 385, Nov 13, I had that plucked guitar string feeling on the 3rd rep, today felt good.

I received my "V" attachment yesterday, so I was able to do T-Bar Rows today.

Gonna start doing front squats on deadlift day and see how I like them. Struggled keeping the bar on my shoulders for the first set, so I dropped way back for the 2nd. Last set felt good, I will have to think about what weight to go with next week.

The way my delt felt yesterday after the beating I put it through, I am amazed that today it hardly hurts at all, that is unless I really push the limits of the R O M.


Rest day tomorrow.

Thank you, come again

You'll do it no problem. But the target will probably be higher than 88 by next week

But you're my target, when it comes to deadlifts.
