Press
145 x 5
170 x 5
185 x 5
-
Last set super-set with NG chin-ups
10
Ugh, hate seeing my top-set be so low, but I was struggling before this reset. Press is always the roughest when losing weight. Read a recent T-Nation article reminding me that a lot of it comes from losing cushioning as fat and fluid retention dissipates, and it's not necessarily the muscles being so drastically weakened. This felt like a stronger showing than the rough 190x3 I gutted out last week, as well. But fuck that reasoning, this is weak and I need to get stronger.

Axle press
140 x 2 x 8 (clean every rep)
150 x 9 (clean once and press away)

Super-set with NG chin-ups
12
45 x 10
90 x 9

Did this while juggling work-from-home meetings and office tasks on my phone, managed to get through it in 2 hours which isn't as horrible as it could have been. Going to do some pump-bro accessory work in the evening after my in-person job when I can be free from distractions.

Now that I'm fully vaccinated I'm also in the market for a boxing or Muay Thai gym again, have a few in mind to hit-up.
