Lifting, week of 26 November

 Good lifting week!

  • November 27 (H)
    • SQ: 3x5 @250#
    • OHP: 1x3 @90#, 1x3 @102#, 1x1 @108#, 1x1 @114#
    • Row: 4x6 @90#
    • AP: 4x8 @25# db
    • BAR: 4x8 @25#
Squat felt heavy, new PR. OHP final set was 1 x max but I could only get one rep. Row still feels heavy. Moved up to 25-pound dumbbells for Arnold press. Still using the 25-pound plate for bent arm raise. 
  • November 29 (L, H)
    • SQ: 1x5 @200#
    • OHP: 90# x 7, 5
    • DL: 1x3 @270#
Light day except for DL, which felt very heavy. Slowly creeping up to my pre-COVID 325# 1RM. OHP was 12x1 @90# but I always hate that, so do 12 reps in as few sets as possible. 
  • December 2 (M)
    • SQ: 2x5 @225#
    • OHP: 5x3 @96#, 2x1 @105#
    • CR: 4x10
Everything felt good. Again did the calf raises with my 20# ruck on and the 53# kettlebell in hand.

Songs this week: "Jacket Hangs," by the Blue Aeroplanes; "Caledonian Road," by Shop Assistants; "Beautiful James," by Placebo.
Books this week: Finished American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis; started The Unlimited Dream Company by J.G. Ballard (Audible) and Butcher's Crossing by John Williams.
