Currently up about 5 lb, hovering around 198 in the morning with no clothes.

Bench press
235 x 5
275 x 5
310 x 5
Joints and tendons hurt but feeling strong as hell. Benched with some pain in my pec tendon and brachialis (both left arm but ignored it and did this easily after being stuck for two cycles.

Did some band pressing with the iron woody thick bands and t-bar rows. And did with skull crushers and heavy band curls.

Tng mat pulls (6)
565 x 5
Best TNG performance yet. Still a new element for me to control weight this heavy going down but I think it will do a lot of good for a 1rm.

Belt squats
360 x 10, 12, 14

Dumbbell lunges
50 x 14, 30

Kettlebell rdls
50 x 80

Abs

Axle strict press
170 x 5
190 x 3
215 x 2
220 x 2
Realized I miscounted and only hit 215. I really wanted that 220 and luckily got it. This was a good cycle for strict press.

I'm doing a lot more volume lately. Tons of super sets and isolation work almost like a bodybuilder, sometimes two times a day. The workload has been making me lazy with updating this log. Going to strive to record the important stuff at least.

I'm eating to gain weight. Nothing crazy but I definitely want to get to at least 210. Last time I weighed myself I was 192 but that was several weeks ago before I started making homemade weight gainers again and making a concerted effort to do this even though it was in the back of my mind. Friend already commented that my love handles are coming in.

Squatted 470x3 day before yesterday. Really brutal drop-down sets, managed to gut out 405x5 right after but could only must let 5 reps on 315. Something to work on as the top set continues to increase.

My heel is much better, probably 95%. I should be good on running now but the exercise bike I ordered a while ago finally arrived and I'm really happy with it. Good way to do zoneout cardio when I don't want to go outside. Will be good for fasted sessions in the morning while I watch TV.

* Nailed it finally.

Spent the rest of the time switching between axle bench, weighted chins and pull-ups, and training my friend, who started out with mat pulls. He got up to 185x1. Capable of more but he's recovering from wrist injuries that flare up, but this was more than he's ever done so it was a good pr. What I found super impressive were the farmers' walks he did a few sessions ago: 100 lbs in each hand down the length of my yard. I also had him doing pull-ups using a band under his feet for assistance, he did a bunch of sets for 5. Bet he's gonna be sore from those because there was a lot of grinding.

We finished off with mitts, reviewing the basics and then taking turns throwing 1-2-3s, and then did a couple of light sparring rounds. Boxing only, didn't want to kick up dirt at each other by kicking. Another time I may set up the patio pavers under us so we can kick or take our gear to the park.

Will probably do some isolation work on my own for biceps, chest, traps, neck, and rear-delts. Not sorry, the bodybuilding sessions have been making a difference and my traps and chest are growing.

Put in an order for a compact foldable exercise bike and a mini 45 lb Muay Thai bag which I hope is heavy enough to not go flying everywhere. The bike was intended for my heel which is thankfully getting better finally.

Squatted 500 a few days ago and benched 350 yesterday. Trained my friend on the squat day. Haven't done boxing in a while with him.

Felt pretty weak yesterday. That 350 was a bit of a grinder. Maybe something to do with all the extra volume I'm doing lately via two a day workouts.

Mat pulled 565x1 off of 5. Everything felt light until the 565 which I couldn't even move on the first attempt. Caused a headache every time I tried to break it off the mat. That single was actually pretty smooth but as I lowered it I felt my body just shut down.

Removed the 35s off each end and did 500 for eight easy touch and go reps. I think with some recovery I'm going to crush this soon.

plus this was a victory because my heel has been getting better and I wasn't sure if I could handle this and especially the 500 squat. Glad to know this won't set me back after all.

I'm going to go in for some lunch and to let my heel recover before I go back in the evening to do some squat accessory work.

Had a pretty good leg workout yesterday, all things considered. Squatted with the SSB up to 200 lbs on the balls of my feet. Felt tendon strain in the problem leg while doing this but I was able to knock out 3 sets of 10. I immediately super-set each of these with banded leg extensions, and triple-set those with banded leg curls. Then I did kettlebell goblet squats with 50 lbs for 40, then 30 reps. I'm pretty sore today. 

May try to squat heavy next workout, we'll see.
