School has started and time flies when that happens, it's all about getting the routine in place s fast as possible and settling down into a groove. Stress will be a little higher but I love school so it's not as bad as some may think. One of the things I constantly think about is the perception of stress, because of my time overseas my perception of stress nowadays is so minimal that it is hard for me to realize how much I have going on and how it affects me. I perceive things that most would say are super stressful as no big deal but does my body respond that way or is there a disconnect between my mind and my body. I do my best to listen to my body and I feel like I can handle a lot because of my ability to stay calm and relaxed but I also use devices to track my recovery so I have a holistic approach to it and so far things have been going well by doing this. It'll be fun to track it as I get ready for back to back meets. 8-25-19 Pause BP- 395lbs x6, 335lbs x10 CG Shoulder Saver BP- 315lbs x5, 335lbs x5, 355lbs x5 for 2 sets DB Paused BP- 85lbs x10, x10, x8 Cable Rear Delts- 3x20 s/s Lat Pulls- 150lbs x12, 180lbs x12, 210lbs x10 Face Pulls- 3x20 s/s DB Shrugs- 3x15 8-27-19 SSB Squats- 425lbs x3, 475lbs x3, 505lbs x3 CS Leg Press w/ Grey Bands- 5plates for 10 reps, 4plates for 13 reps Pull Throughs- 3x15 s/s Calve Raises- 3xAMRAP Ipsi Lateral Bulg Split Squats- 2 sets of 12 reps with 61lbs s/s Ab Wheel- 3x12 Prime Handles Rows- 200lbs x12, 220lbs x12 8-24-19 Pause BP- 365lbs for 4 sets of 5 reps American Cambered Bar BP- 275lbs x6 for 2 sets, 315lbs x6 for 2 sets Weighted Dips- 50lbs x12, x10, x9 High Face Pulls- 3x20 s/s DB Flys- 3x15 Lat Pulls- 140lbs x10, 170lbs x10, 200lbs x10 s/s Cable Pushdowns- 3x15
