 I got to the gym at 4:30 pm and was done 4 min shy of the 5 pm close. I was seriously on the move! I finished things off with a super long walk home (fast paced 20 min walk) and then took the stairs.

Looks like a long sesh. Sorry about your gramp.

Can you get naps in? I get 20 minutes to 2 hours a day, feels great to shut down and recharge every day.

 The sessions have been intense. I'm usually getting all of my training done in 45 min tops. The longest session I've had in some time was my "heavy" squat day from the 21rst. It took me almost an hour and a half!

 Thanks for the condolences.

Napping is awesome! I love it, although it tends to be counter productive (for me at least). The days I nap are the nights that I sleep the worst.

 I really hate myself when it comes to sleep. I love sleep, LOVE IT! But for some reason my body fights that shit tooth and nail. Why I don't know, but fuck its frustrating.

 Food and sleep haven't been the best since my grandfather has passed away, especially sleep. In turn this is starting to effect my workouts. This past week has been tough. I'm really hoping to get my sleep back on track as soon as possible.

7:09 am - Home

This morning I completed Baker Barbell 5x5 (Wk 2D) as follows:

Intensity Deadlifts  3-135, 3-205, 3-245, 3-295, 3-335, 3-385 (2+)

Volume SSB Squats (16" Box)  3-45, 3-135, 3-185, 5-230, 3-230, 3x5 @ 225, 5-190

Superset:
Weighted Hypers  5x10 @ 50
Multi-Grip Chins (Recon Ron Wk 2) 7, 6, 5, 4, 4

Bodyweight: 208.6 Pounds (Down 13.6 pounds from 222.2 on 7/9)

Workout Duration: 0:53:13.69 h:mm:ss.ms (with 1:00 rest between sets)

Good workout today.  I stayed home, which has become a rarity on Saturdays and enjoyed lifting here for a change.  I love Untamed, but there's something really satisfying about knocking out a good workout at home.

Everything felt tough today for some reason.  The deads felt a little heavy and the SSB Squats felt very heavy.  I actually dropped my squats down 5 pounds on set 3 of the 5x5.
