Today I want to welcome and introduce a new contributer to Die Going Forward, Mr. Brian Noyle. Brian and I have been friends and co-workers since 2005-ish(?). We have similar backgrounds and life experience, and are both opinionated about how we individually chase health and fitness. I’m eager to read Brian’s contributions to this blog and the fresh perspective he can offer to what has so far been a solo effort.

Yesterday’s Workout:

Kicked off the strength LP again yesterday. I’m still lacking a little bit of gear in the garage, and am hoping to get that squared away soon. In the meantime, pullups and such will be harder to come by. As far as weight is concerned, I looked back at my journals and set my expected loads to 10% less than the last recorded efforts. I hit my rep numbers, but I am surprised that the level of intensity was so much higher than I expected at those lower weights.

Primary Lifts

Bench Press: 2 x 5, 1 x 10 @ 115# (previous entry had me at 1 x 16 @ 124#)
Squat:  2 x 4, 1 x 6 @ 165# (previous entry had me at 1 x 10 @ 187#)

Supplemental

OHS: Find 1RM in 5 attempts - 65#, 95# (fail), 75#, 80#, 95# 

My last OHS entry had me lift 85# x 12, so my 1RM result disappointed me. Again, the layoff is likely the primary culprit. The weakness was definitely in my shoulders, less so in my legs or back.

L-Sits: 60 seconds (cumulative)
