Training 10/31

Training and, even worse, diet have been pretty terrible lately (~week to 10 days). It doesn't seem like long, but it feels like a lot getting back into it. Didn't run at all this week, so run this morning was whatever. Decided to do lower body today despite usually doing that on Mondays. Stepping away from ladders (yay, training ADD!). Need to groove my squat a lot more at lighter weight, so that's among the lifting goals for now. That and stop being a bitch. Insofar as I can.

Run - 30 minutes
Squat - up to 250x1, 215x5x5, 185x20

Forgot to do my box jumps. They will generally go first in the workout, but I was more focused on just getting something done today and it slipped my mind. I'll try to do them tomorrow, then on deadlift day as well. Any auxiliary work will simply be based on how much time I have after the main lift. Lower auxiliary - abs, pullups, band hamstrings. Upper auxiliary - rows, guns, delts.

Training 10/17

Obviously, my effort to post every day fell apart rather quickly. Regardless, training for today:

1 hour weighted vest (30 lbs) walk (yohimbine + caffeine prior)
Fat bar bench - 4x8 @200 lbs
Close/mid/wide grip - 90 sec b/w sets - 130 lbs - 12/10/10
Rows - 4x10
Curls/delts - 2x10-12
Russian twist - 2x10

I can't help but feel like a fair amount of what I'm doing is garbage volume. I want to trend toward more like 1-2 really heavy sets, with some lighter backoff work after if I feel up to it. But I feel like I have to have a certain amount of volume, and like I need to leave myself the wiggle room for days I really don't feel it to not go heavy. But the inability to figure out what the fuck I want to do is one (of many) of the reasons I've struggled to make the desired progress in my training.
