Reduni's Log.

Looks like some solid strength gainz Rich! That 185 OHP was awesome! Grats on the 305 bench, the 315 milestone is right there for the taking! Bummer about the 505 pull but no doubt that is gonna go real soon.
Very solid progress

AGREED

Been lacking in my jounaling and I've been sick to there was some time off too. Just haven't been in front of the puter much.

Anyways.... I started BBM's the bridge v 1.0 again. First week was a feeling out again. Started week 2 today and it went pretty well.

Thanks Shawn. Just getting comfortable with the increased volume and RPE again. I liked the program last time so it stands to reason I should get some results again. I'm hoping weights will increase a little quicker this time with more squatting and variations.

Pause squats looking excellent, also looking jacked in the vids buddy.
I really like the bridge too and will revisit it one day. Didn’t really like the bench programming but I never did finish the program, got sick with the flu before I finished

[Merkley]

Sessions are looking awesome! Good job on the paused squats!

Thanks Shawn. I think the accessories in the 531 version I was running added a little mass. I'm hoping to keep it.

Thanks Merk. I like paused squats. Don't ask why cause I don't really know either.


Another day done on the bridge. Just some gpp tomorrow. The weights moved well. Paused bench was an rpe8 except the last set I'd call a 9. I don't mind tempo squats but it's hard as hell to remember what rep I'm on. I think I did 9 on the first set and 7 on the second. I went back and did an extra rep when I realised. Enough chit chat. Here's the results

GPP today

pull ups alternating with seated narrow cable rows. sets of 5 at 190  on rows for 7 min. think I got 6 sets of pull ups and 5 of rows.  Also did 30 sec planks for 7 min. 8 rounds worth. finished with 25 min of treadmill at a fast walk. Start of week 3 tomorrow.

Back at it again. Took about a week off. I've literally bought the farm so we are moving. I'm trying to stay in the gym as long as possible in between packing and all the other shit that has to happen. Things didn't work out as well as we had hoped and the closing on our house is mid august but we don't close on the new house till the end of the month. Means we're homeless for about 2 weeks and we essentially have to move twice. Not happy about that. anyways, here's today's session. I'm trying a little hypertrophy for now. It'll keep me lifting without beating me up too much. I liked the last 531 template I was running so I'm using that but instead of the 531 for the main lift's I'm just doing 4 to 5 sets of 5. Also going to drop a little weight and do more slow and controlled reps.

3 x 10 x 340
