@EricK It was less of a "yeah buddy" light weight and more of a "just want to get toned" light weight. And I was sore the next day. #embarrassing

Took too many days off in a row due to busyness and it has snow balled into full blown laziness. I'm all off kilter on sleep though, so maybe I'll cling to that as my excuse.
Bench 285x4x3, 1x5
Long rests due to aforementioned laziness.
Squat 340x2x3, 1x9
I was planning on 5 sets but was feeling especially lazy after only 2 so I just did the rest of the reps with the 3rd set. For your meat head math.
I'll do the rest tomorrow.

A rather productive “fuck this.”

You're doing it wrong.

@EricK My laziness was manifesting in the form of set avoidance/procrastination. Once I'm under the bar it's like, "well I'm already here, may as well get it done."
I also need to occasionally remind myself how many reps I can actually do with a given weight. Those low-RPE sets have a way of feeling heavy when your arousal/motivation is low. It's good to know I can get a set of 9@9 with a weight I was not enjoying for triples.

If it’s in the log, it’s canon.

Chiropractic Musings: Last week he gave me stretching and foam rolling homework, to be done daily. It seems to have aggravated things? Or maybe it's because I actually squatted some weight for some reps last week? Either way, everything is pissed off back there.

SSB Squat 295x2x5 @back pain
LTE 128x3x12, long rests

TFW you're not quite feeling it but the first song that plays in your music app hits just right.
Inverted Row BW x 22, 16, 16
Lateral Raise 30x 14,
Slowed the eccentrics way down on these. Got a lot fewer reps.
Incline DB Curl 12, 11, 10
Single Leg BW Calf Raise x 12, 10, 8, alternating sides without rests

Nah, it’s a fair play. Honestly wish I’d opened it before I started squatting.

Yeah, I know my notation is weird. 5x2 = 5 sets of 2. That's how I started writing it in my little paper lifting log when I was jist a boi, and now I'm powerless to change it.
To be faiiiiiiir, yesterday I was crunched for time instead of feeling lazy.

Deadlift 350x5x3
Triples at 70% weren't too bad. This is encouraging.

Incline DB Curl 20x 20, 16, 14
Kept my elbows pinned to my ribs for a wicked stretch at the bottom.
BW Calf Raise x 26, 20, 18
Slow all the way, hard contraction at the top, pause at the bottom.
I was able to feel the whole muscle when I kept my toes splayed. (I usually only feel the medial portion)

That's very interesting - gonna try. Into calves right now and was pissed at myself for skipping them today, but I was in the gym for nearly three hours doing next to nothing and it wasn't funny anymore. (By which I mean, I knew that my girlfriend didn't think that it was funny anymore and I needed to be present at home.)

Calves are decently sore today after just those 3 sets yesterday.
