God dammit...
Just came back from the gym. 3 Indians were doing a trial stinking the place up. Guess I willed it.

Vutu: Before I try my 1RM I am going to try to get 3 sets of 7 at 205(mostly paused reps), which was my goal before I started the Smolov. I think I can get it as long as I focus on efficiency.

They are the worst, my son is going to kill one of them soon I think. They seem to think the towel rule is just for fun, theyll use the preacher bench always like 11 of them going chest bis and tris every fucking day but not use a towel to bare armpit to equipment then the thing smells like the ganges for a week

lil Vutu has just hit puberty and lifts and is getting mad testosterone rage lately, I think its just a matter of time before he up ends Raj

How do you guys eat on rest/off days? mine I keep the same as any other since I dont think daily fluctuations of macros really matter that much but interested to see if you guys drop total calories while keeping protein up or similar.

Lower left back has been hurting for about 3 weeks now. Think I might take a couple of weeks break with the dealifts.

I eat more on work out days but Im no nutritionist. I just want the extra energy.

Did squats today, went much better than last time. No mental block. Zero pain in my tendons until the drop sets where I just had a little. To reduce tendonitis I've been trying to lower volume and I used Soms idea of using big jumps in weight in the warm up, and lower weight and reps in the drop sets. It sucks that so much of the challenge of improving my squat is dealing with shit like this but Ive accepted it for now. Im not in a rush to get a big squat and my goals are not too lofty.

Bench day today, gym was packed this fucking old Persian cunt threw me off my game by asking to work in which is okay it was packed but then hes giving me advice so I packed it in and let him have the bench

Im trying to be a nicer person at the gym and its backfiring, I think its time to go back to being the angry guy in the hoodie

Som Id back off the DLs for a while too but only in weight, DLs are good for your back just maybe need to back off a big but im no expert
