Notes

Phew, eating remains tough but I've kept at it.

I haven't done much benching in years; my lifetime high was 5x5@265 back in college, with a max just shy of 300. I was happy to be able to dial in a probable max at this point, and I'm setting my double weight at 260 for the purposes of the next few workouts.

The complexes were aerobically tough, BUT I didn't feel the usual mobility limitations overhead. INTERESTING! I'll keep bumping this up and see what happens. I love the little tests that show up in this program, sloshing between squats and complexes / bench.

I forgot to note it in the last log entry, but I have been following the squat prescriptions for bigger kids, up at 185-205. This isn't a decision I've fully made, or one that I don't have some fear about... I have been feeling solid at strength endurance, but the program gets HARD and I haven't ever knocked out a set of 50 reps at bodyweight! Everything at the higher weight class has been doable so far, so I've been deferring the decision. The next workout is the crux. Do I attempt 50 at 185 or 205??
