* Notes:

- The squats have become a bit more laborious lately due to weight loss, travel, and a poor diet.  Today was the first time in what seems like an ego since I've squatted above 180kg.  I hope to keep the momentum going with a goal weight of 200kg.

* Notes:

- 180kg!  Who would have thought; especially, after an abysmal performance from yesterday.  I need to seriously dial back the training this first week back from the move.  I think being a little more conservative will pay big dividends later on and prevent a possible injury.

170kg Back Squat

Reverse Hyper (Strap) + Dips:
((110 x 10) + (bw x 10))5

KB Seal Row + Hand Release Pull Up:
((25 x 6) + (bw x 2))5

* Notes:

- I'm moved in and finally back on the squat everyday horse again.  170kg felt like a metric ton and my legs feel weaker than a newborn baby chick's.  This is going to be interesting.

2019DEC07 (REST)

Rest:

- A day of unpacking boxes and trying to figure out where things will go into our new home.  It's absolutely insane making for no time to squat.

Friday, December 6, 2019

2019DEC06 (REST)

Rest:

- My household goods were delivered today, so with all the chaos of moving, I'm unable to get a squat workout done.

Thursday, December 5, 2019

2019DEC05 (REST)

Rest:

- The movers arrived yesterday and today I'm enroute to Boonville to receive our household goods.  Another day off from squatting.

Wednesday, December 4, 2019

2019DEC04 (REST)

Rest:

- I'm unable to lift today because our movers arrive this morning to pack our household goods for the move to Boonville. 

Tuesday, December 3, 2019

2019DEC03 (REST)

Rest:

- Another day off from squatting.  I traveled back to Kentucky yesterday from Missouri.  I got home late after a 7 hour ride and had to start the arduous process of finalizing the packing of our house in preparation for the movers.

Monday, December 2, 2019

2019DEC02 (REST)

Rest:

- Traveled yesterday down to Boonville, MO to close on our house.  There just wasn't any time to lift today with all the responsibilities of preparing for the move.

* Notes:

- I had to end my workout short this morning because my right knee felt like it was going to split in two.  The button that was implanted in connection with my ACL reconstruction surgery from over 10 years ago felt as though it was shearing.  To say it was painful is an understatement.  It felt like a knife was being applied to the site around the button.  I decided to call it a day.

* Notes:

- The morning started off rough with the pain to the right knee but after walking around and getting the knee to warm up; plus, opening my stance in the squat made a huge difference.  I was able to return to the squat rack and get back up to 160kg without any knee issues.

* Notes:

- I'll have to admit that the front squats are starting to get dry.  The bench press at 140kg for a double was life threatening.

160kg Front Squat

* Notes:

- A missed 160kg due to a barbell that was sliding off my right shoulder, or maybe because I've been in a slump lately where the weights feel heavy as hell?  However, to my defense, I did manage to front squat 160kg after my failed first attempt -- without a belt no less.

2019OCT30 (REST)

Rest:

- Today's day of rest wasn't planned.  I should have packed some workout attire for my house hunting trip to Columbia, Missouri; but, I didn't, because I wasn't expecting to get diverted from Columbia to Peoria, Illinois to pick up our van which had been damaged several weeks ago due to a collision with a deer.  As fate would have it, during our return trip to Kentucky, the collision center notified us that our van was ready for pickup -- giving us approximately 3 1/2 hours to drive from St. Louis to Peoria.  Needless to say, it was a very close call with only 15 minutes to spare before the collision center closed.  To make matters more unnerving we still had to fuel and drop off our rental car.  Thankfully, an Enterprise-Rent-A-Car center was located a couple blocks away from the collision center, along with a Circle K gas station -- what luck!  We made the drop off of the rental car with 4 minutes until they closed.  It was absolute chaos.  Afterwards, we found ourselves with another 6 hour drive back home to Kentucky, in the rain no less.  14 hours from the time we got in our rental with the intent on driving home to Kentucky, we found ourselves finally home.  A drive that normally takes 5 1/2 to 6 hours was more than doubled and we finally arrived home safely at 2:30 a.m. on Halloween.  It was a crazy drive filled with delays, wrecks, road construction, and foul weather, so by the time I arrived there wasn't any motivation nor energy to get my front squats done.  Additionally, the 24 hour period had passed along with my streak of squatting consecutively everyday for the past 137 days.

* Notes:

- I should have done more axle presses, but after the superset with the reverse hypers I was tired and on a time crush to finish early so I could get back to packing.  Plus, having a sore low back convinced me that the front squats were enough for one day, so I cut the workout short.

* Notes:

- 30kg jumps to 170kg for a single, I'd say that's progress.  170kg is becoming more and more of a routine lift.  I believe the 182kg goal weight is around the corner.  Soon, but I must remain patient and put in the work.

* Notes:

- I was slightly hesitant on working out today due to my strained back and abdomen.  I was seriously in a hurt locker yesterday with unpredictable and involuntary muscle spasms throughout my abdomen causing shortness of breath and stability issues.  Sleep was less than desirable with the inability to move or twist without pain, so I had to sleep entirely on my back like a vampire.  Regardless, I managed to get my front squats done.  I was extremely cautious and deliberate with my movements; as such, I was able to surprisingly walk away with a top set at 160kg.

170kg Front Squat * PR MATCH

* Notes:

- I'm not at 100% today.  During my warm up, I somehow managed to strain my upper back and possibly the cartilage between my ribs.  It's most noticeable when taking heavy breaths and bending over by allowing my thoracic spine to flex.  It doesn't feel great, but wasn't enough to stop me from squatting today.  Even with the "injury," I was able to front squat up to my most recent PR max of 170kg with relative ease.  This genuinely gives me hope for the coming weeks to break past the 182kg mark!

170kg Front Squat * PR MATCH

Reverse Hyper (Strap) + Standing Band Cuban Curl:
((110 x 15) + (Green x 15))3

* Notes:

- A PR Match is always a good indication that training is going as planned.  Well, in this case, not so planned as I'm using a chaos mindset with the daily squats.  Nevertheless, the 170kg was after an easy initial wave up to 160kg.  This is progress.

* Notes:

- For the life of me, I can't remember the last time I had a press PR.  I would guess 5 years, if not more.  This was completely unexpected.  Could leg strength have an indirect positive influence on upper body strength?  It seems likely.

160kg Front Squat

* Notes:

- Bare bones workout today.  I had to break away from the barbell at the initial ramp up once I reached 100kg to take an unexpected dump.  I pull the barbell out of the rack and had the most intense sensation to shit -- not what I was expecting.

- 160kg moved a little better today compared to yesterday.

* Notes:

- Too much whisky and not enough sleep results in the most challenging 160kg front squat that I've experienced since undertaking the squat everyday program.  I need to clean up my diet and find some better sleep habits.

* Notes:

- I was trying to mix things up today by doing a semi-chaotic increase in weights and it kinda worked.  I finished off the front squats at 163kg, which didn't seem to challenging.  I might give this unorthodox method another run in the next couple of days.

- The missed bench press at 155kg was agonizing.  It was so damn close but I stalled in the press.  I lost momentum and speed, resulting in a failed lift.  I'll get it next time.
