Heavy labor weekend as we wrap-up the move. Got home on Friday evening and set-up to bench:
Bench press
215 x 5
250 x 5
280 x 6 (failed a 7th)
Swiss bar bench press
225 x 10, 7, 8
Super-set with lying dumbbell rows: 115s x 3 x 10
Band pressdowns: 15
Super-set with alternating dumbbell curls
35s x 20
After that, did some moving. Nothing crazy but there were some loaded carries with boxes of books that were a good workout all on their own. It's why I went easy on the bicep curls earlier.
Saturday:
Squats
335 x 5
385 x 5
435 x 5
320 x 18
After that, went out and moved a bunch more stuff. This one was a solo trip so I lifted what was possible with one person. More loaded carries back-and-forth over the course of about an hour and a half.
Sunday was the big one. All-day move with the heaviest items via 2 people. We managed to get everything out and into the moving van (which my work kindly lent me) except for a massive bed headboard. My girlfriend was just too small to help with that, even with shoulder straps made for moving heavy objects. I had expected this and hit-up a friend the day before, but he was unavailable. We ended up scheduling a moving company to move this piece alone for $50 on Wednesday.
Ended up finishing at 9:00pm and I felt like I got run over by a train by the end of the night. All "good" pain, though. I'm elated that my lower back feels great. It's my upper-back that's sore as hell from pulling heavy items into myself when carrying, and that feels awesome. I feel like I should have paid to get an upper-back workout this good.
I'm also feeling a little sick with a sore throat and a light cough, but nothing too bad. Drinking tea and hot bone broth with eggs at work, and I have an entire frozen pizza from Italy in the work freezer for lunch. There are still some smaller items to move out this week but nothing heavy enough that they require two people or a moving van.
