I haven't been intentionally cutting, but I've been super active lately and been eating very cleanly.

Waist measurement same as last time = 32" on the line. That's 0.85" lost in the past couple months.

10/28/2021

First day of new style of training program. I'm going to be focusing far less on powerlifting exercises, and I'll aim to set PRs in other types of exercises.

hip mobility
t-spine mobility
shoulder mobility

Good stuff. Training is fun again. Not worrying about amount of weight. I'm starting very light and will slowly work up. Setting PRs isn't my top priority right now.

moving forward with lighter weights, moving explosively will be a priority in all my training

Did many hill sprints between sets.

Fun.
 
^Power rack configurations:

for inverted row: safety pins 6th hole up from the bottom

for viking press: the far end of the bar is positioned 2 holes above the closer end. I believe I placed the closer safety pin at the height I use for squatting.
 
Yesterday -

warm up

back squat - (belt 5th notch (fairly loose) and no knee sleeves)
5x5 w/ 225 lb

Weight is still very light compared to what I used to do up to March this year. Easy stuff, and working my way back up slowly.
 
Switch to barbell spider curls during next session, instead of regular standing barbell curls.

hip mobility
t-spine mobility
shoulder mobility

Fun. Bodyweight is 185 lb. Lowest it's been in years. I don't want to get any lighter. I may start eating to slowly putting on some muscle soon.
 
Yesterday -

warm up

Focus on keeping a neutral back with natural lordosis, and keeping the bar closer to my shins with my hips not coming forward as much

unilateral RDL -
3x10 each side w/ 60 lb progress by 5 to help with balance, focus on 3 points of foot contact pressing into the ground (base of big toe, base of 5th toe, and heel

hip mobility

Fun. I'm getting excited by training again. Weights are light, and I'm still rebuilding confidence. I've had zero nerve or back pain (aside from very superficial mid-back tightness) during training since I started this new program a few weeks ago.
