Happy Thanksgiving y'all! What a fun week (so far). We have both daughters and a daughter-in-law in town. Add to them my wife's sister and her husband, and we had a wonderful Turkey Day.

Lifting doesn't stop, hopefully, on holiday weeks. This week, it kinda got adjusted though. November 21, Heavy day:
SQ: 3x4 @250#The squat felt rough the first set, but I settled in by the third set, which felt great. OHP was doable. The landmine rows I hadn't done for weeks and weeks. The last time I did them I did 4x10 w/2 x 45# plates on the bar. Tried that Tuesday, and no, only 4x6! Arnold press was easy, may have to move up to 25# dumbbells next time. Bent-arm (plate) raise was good. Will do the 25# plate till I do 4x12 then move to the 35#.
Should have done Light day on Thursday but, Thanksgiving. Wife and I had too much to do to get ready. Therefore, I skipped L day and did Medium day today:
SQ: 2x5 @225#Squat easy-peasy. OHP wore my arms out. Programmed for 1x1 @102# but thought I'd try 105#. Went up easy. Calf raises again wearing my 20# ruck and holding the 24kg kettlebell. Theoretically today should have been deadlift vice CR, but I've found doing DL heavy once a week is wearing, so I'm floating it to every 9-11 days.
