Entry #926

Might get kicked out of the apartment. Gonna tell the landlord to shut up and squat.

Yesterday:

Safety-band squats:
285, 5x5
> Doing Bill Star's template so this is 12% less than day 1. Legs were sore as sin going in but now they feel a lot better. Already getting used to squatting thrice a week.

Deadlifts:
315 x 5 (overhand)
405 x 2 (overhand; grip failed)
405 x 5
> Just testing the waters. Really happy that my shoulder can handle deadlifts. Was originally going to do one-handed deadlifts. And 405 pronated is pretty swell. Also, I've never done deads this heavy after squats.

One-armed dumbbell strict press, standing:
75 x 5, 5 sets (right arm)
32.5 x 6, 35 x 15, 40 x 20, 45 x 8, 45 x 7 (left arm)
> Felt some clicking in both shoulders. Going to start prehabbing with Turkish get-ups.

NG pull-ups:
x 5
32.5 x 5, 5
35 x 5, 5
> Sweet, I can do pull-ups now, too.

Great session. Can't wait until I can bench press.
