Sets/reps
Squats
275x3x3

Had a bad week, got sick and lost a few lbs. So I dropped down in weight for this workout and these felt rough.

Bench
175x3x5

Dropped down in volume on these in addition to the weight.

Going to be a tough week or two coming up as there's a bunch of things going starting tomorrow with fixing the leak in the drain pipe. I will try to fit in workouts when there's some time.

Felt like i was run over all day long. Really didn't want to train but with nothing else going on i needed to do some lifting as it's been sporatic the last week. So, maybe it wasn't the best idea to dip my toe into the RPE pool but i did it anyway.

Sets/Reps
Rest 6min
Squat
285x3@9 - i was hoping this would be an 8 but didn't work out like that
275x3@8
275x3@9 - i don't know if it's because of how crap i felt going in or I'm off on the RPE gauge. Probably a little of both.

SGDL

Strong work, @RobD +++

You must be feeling at least a little better.

[RobD]

Yeah, felt better yesterday than the day before. Still got a long way to go to get to any level of respectability.

Thanks for the support.

Sets/Reps

Squat - 6min rest
285x3@8
285x3@8
285x3@8.5 - These felt better than last week so I kept the same weight until the RPE went up. Not sure if this is the 'right' way but gave it a shot.

CGBP - 3min rest
175x4x5 - some added bench volume work. I've made it a goal to focus on bench for the time being. I'm not going to really push the press for now, I may add it in for some assistance work for shoulder health purposes.

SGDL - 3min rest

So far 2018 has not gone as hoped. I continued to lift but got lazy and did not log it here. There have been a lot of stops and starts due to life getting in the way so I regressed quite a bit. Then in April I tackled a foundation leak repair at home and being a cheap bastard did all the work on my own in the evenings mostly. So my last workout was April 17, which was bench and Squat was on April 15.

It's taken a few weeks to finish the job, mostly because I had to break up 4 yards of concrete in order to fix the issue. So I was to tired to lift afterwards.

Now that the job is done, I started back yesterday. Going to take it easy to see how I respond and then hopefully get back up to where I was before.

Squat - 3min rest
205x3x5
- These felt fine and no issues with soreness this morning.

Curls - 2min rest
65x3x8

Due to time constraints and life obligations, the best I could do if devote 45min to 1 hour in the evenings to get my workout in. I will most likely do one main lift per day and some accessories.
