First time at my new gym and it's definitely an adjustment. Looks smaller than my old one with older and different equipment. Some are cool but some are missing. Like I see no stretch machine and no weight racks. Plus where the hell are the paper towels? :mindblown: Gonna need some time to get used to this. :aicmon:

Today was supposed to be my rest day, but I had to go today so I don't miss the game tomorrow.

I don't trust myself to get up early enough and I'm not gonna want to go tomorrow night after 5-6 hours of basketball coverage (and probably a few beers).

Man I'm still :patrice: about what routine I might switch too for fat loss/cut. I just gotta get these obliques right.

I just know I gotta keep front squats since i'm getting close to 225 for reps.:mjcry:

So I finally think I have officially advanced to an intermediate level lifter. I discovered some strength inconsistencies that I am going to work through but I will start concentrating more on volume and endurance. I'm 37 5'8 and 198 LBS. The deadlifts are what's kicking my ass at one point I was actually stronger on this lift but when I strained my lower back it's like I lost a lot of strength and I still haven't gotten it back and I'm also nervous whenever I get over 400lbs. I may not reach the deadlift goal especially as I get older and start concentrating on metabolic and cardio conditioning/endurance more often and limiting lifting to 2x full body workouts a day.

Deadlift (no belt): 1xRM 465lbs goal is to have a 500lb + Deadlift

Squat (no belt): 1xRM 425lbs goal is to have a 475lb + Deadlift

Flat Bench: 1xRM 335lbs I don't really even feel the need to go much past this not really an exercise I'm that high on.

OH Press (no belt): 1xRM 215lbs goal is to get to a 225lb + Press

Pendlay Row: 1xRM 225lbs not really concerned with increasing the weight but would like to do this for reps.

Weighted Pull up: 1xRM 70lbs goal is to get to 100lb pullup

Weighted Chin up: 1xRM 60lbs- want to get to the point where I can do 5xreps at 60lbs

Weighted Dips: 1xRM 80lbs- goal is to get to a 100+lb weighted dip
