Strength Training

July was mostly a good month for me. A small medical mishap, but otherwise a good month.

I can't believe the first half of 2022 is already over. Another month has come and gone and I'm not sure what I have to show for it.

May was an eventful month. I didn't do much because I was exposed to COVID…and then got COVID later in the month. Needless to say, the month could have gone better, but it could have been far worse.

This afternoon I attempted squatting 350 lbs. and I'm happy to say I was able to do 2 reps!

Earlier this year, I posted about how I was tweaking my workout to a 6 day program. That routine worked well for me, but then hockey started back up and I wasn't able to keep up. A new routine was in order, and I chose to build one based on Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 BBB (Boring But Big) program.

Looking back at the last two months, I've noticed I've done a pretty good job of hitting the weights 5-6 days a week. Because of this, I decided I'd tweak my routine a little bit to help jumpstart some gains.

Four months into the COVID-19 Pandemic, I finally broke down and built a gym in my basement.

One of the things I’ve been trying to do while getting in shape is tracking my progress. Weight is obviously one of the metrics I track, but it’s not the only one.

At the beginning of July, I decided to change up my gym routine. I had been running a variation of the P.H.U.L. routine, but decided I wanted to try something a little more intense since I felt like I was plateauing with both deadlifts and bench press.

Over the last 12 weeks, I’ve been running the P.H.U.L. Workout Routine.
