I don't care how boring or standard it is, tell us about what you did at the gym today.
>be me, it's designated rest day
>feeling cheeky
>go to the gym anyways
>get in the pool and do some laps
>get in the sauna afterwards
>feeling good
>go home and eat green bean salad
Hit 3 beginner PR
70kg 5x5 bench
95kg 5x5 squat
130kg 1x5 dead
Feels bredy gud
>home gym
>did wow emissary quests in between sets
>listened to sadboys music
>squats, ohp, power cleans, and pullups
>made a digiorno pizza when i was done and ate the whole thing
Started off with deadlifts, and the only place to lift was right behind two girls doing squats
I'm certain one of them thought I was staring at her ass even though I was trying hard not to
At least I set a PR
Bad bench day, good rows and legs. At this rate my row is going to surpass my bench because I have a weak upper body.
I finally got to 5x5 1pl8 bench last time session and felt great- was surprised that I failed so much at 140lb with how much I was eating in between and the quality of sleep I got.
Will hopefully get to 3pl8 DL for 5 in the next few months, sitting at 260 for 5.

???????????????????????
Push day, at my apt gym because day off (otherwise I go to my gym in the city after work)
All DB workout:
Bench
Shoulder press
Incline bench
Lat raise
Shrugs
Triceps pushdown
And some leg raises, push-ups and glutes bridges to warm down/up
The dude I see on Scruff was there (his photo is of him in that gym kek) too bad he is ugly though.
>shrugs on push day
????????????????? that's a pull
do it on pull day near your face-pulls/lat pulls
Law of attraction is true after all...

Played WoW pretty much all day, lost track of time. Third week of 5-3-1 cycle, had to hit 95% 5x5. 255 lbs. Got it for three sets but only managed 3-4 for the last two. Endurance is shit, Kill me.

This gives me hope actually. Don't lose him.

At my peak I had 2.5 plate 5x5 squats and Deadlifts. 2 plate Bench.
Now I can barely do 1 plate for all of them.
Feels bad man, but it feels good to get back to the gym. Uni is goddamn meme btw.

Only took me 6 hours and I drank 18 litres of water. Don't know how I'll fit 4 litres of milk though. Enjoying steaknana and giving advice to noobz on Veeky Forums
