Badly bruised my right heel on Saturday while messing around with the only 2 friends I see now in quarantine. Doing some stupid parkour shit and landed wrong on it. Can't put too much weight on it, walking on the ball of that foot. I think it's getting slightly better but can't be sure. Definitely can't squat on it so I'll be doing sissy squats tomorrow.

After George left I bench pressed with the remaining friend, up to 330x2. Had a third in me but was having trouble getting leg drive. Haven't done boxing in awhile with him, something we talked about doing next time. After I hit that I did 245x10. Gotta say I was surprised at how light that felt, I could have told you I was benching 215. Didn't get to do much else due to training him and time constraints with him having to leave by 4:15 so I'll do some more today.

Benched 310x4 with my friend spotting me. Also dumbbell pressed 125x6 afterwards. Felt sorest I've been in months. I'm working him up to repping 95 on the bench. Something super impressive is that he farmer walked with 200 lbs.

Welp, my (free) laptop isn't holding a charge anymore so computer time has been down. Building a new PC though which will free up my main bedroom-stationed laptop that's hooked up to a mointor for portable use so I can use it for work in the living room.

Currently taking a deload. I started feeling really run-down recently. Already did a squat and strict press workout, and today I did an extra workout for traps, rear-delts, and neck. I'm going to be doing shorter but more frequent workouts in general since I have so much time at home, rather than one mega 2+-hour session.

Lifted yesterday with my quarantine friend. I'm teaching him boxing as well. Went over a 1-2-3 and we took turns holding the pads, then did some light free sparring. Letting him get the hang of it a little before I get stricter with enforcing hands staying up. Watched Rocky 4 to pre-game. We watched a bunch of strongman last time.

Did a friend workout in the rain with one of the only two people I'm seeing during this lockdown (same goes for them). Helped him train and did some fun things on end like a 15-rep 405 deadlift and some farmers' walks and keg carries. Got a good chest pump from some banded chest flyes, too. Beer, which is not usually my drink of choice, is also incredibly refreshing mid-workout.

Did some hill sprints this morning, followed by a short jog and some light shadow kickboxing.

Strict pressed 215x2 on Friday. Looking back to a year ago I was at 195x1.

Been reading entries this morning from one year ago when everything was normal and not a disease-ridden death trap. I've made some really good progress, especially on my press, which has gone from 195x1 to 195x5.

Gonna practice this a bit: "Learned a combo-string: low right kick, 3-2-3, right body kick, 3-2, left switch kick, overhand right and left hook to the body, circle out with double-jab. Started with just the first portion of that and added on."

Squats
Up to 485 x 1
Drop-down to 405 x 5, 315 x 10,225 x 10, 135 x 10, 45 x 10
* This no longer kills me, I'm happy to report.

Banded good mornings
Up to 150 x 10 (4 sets total working up)

Did an at-home Muay Thai workout in the evening, just about 15 minutes.

Logging should be more consistent from now on. Got a new laptop charger so I can compute from anywhere in the house.

* Didn't feel confident on my first attempt at 325. Feet were in a bad position too so I couldn't get good drive. Took a short break to input some work data (did this workout while working at home), ate a banana, came back, and eased through it.
