Two entries I need to catch up on:

 

Bench press
245 x 5
275 x 3
305 x 3
First set last: 245 x 10

SSB JM press: 180 x 3 x 10
Super-set with axle curls: 80 x 3 x 10

Lying dumbbell rows
80s x 20, 10

305 was tough for the final rep, but I locked out. Still marks a 5 lb gain. Upper back is still extremely sore merely from doing barbell shrugs and, surprisingly, my shoulders and pec-deltoid connections felt uncomfortable while benching, which tells me my upcoming deload is going to be here just in time.

My bodyweight continues to hover at 203 as of my last weigh-in, making this the most modest mass gain phase I’ve ever done. While I’m a bit softer than the summer, I still have defined abs and a fairly slim waist. That’s OK with me, as I’m still making progress under the iron and I’m not willing to cut back the cardio and boxing training. I’m also enjoying going carb free until lunch time and before bed too much; simplifies half the meals for my day.

 

Squats
375 x 5
425 x 3
475 x 1
320 x 17

I felt a little sluggish tonight, but conversely, the weight felt pretty light. Thought about hitting a second rep of 475 but found myself walking the bar to the rack.
