Haphazard full-body lifts 12/10/10

- Deadlift 5x135, 5x225, 3x315, 3x345, 3x365, 2x385, 2x405
- Press 5x45, 5x95, 5x125, 3x135, 0x150, 0x145, 1x135
- Inverse Row 12xBW, 12xBW, 12xBW, 12xBW, 10xBW (fail)
- Rowing Machine 3 minutes, 770 yards

Personal record on deadlift, and the first time I really got 405 'cleanly,' without any equivocal bullshit on whether or not I hit it. I did, and it felt good man.

Press does not feel good man. Not at all. I think that my weakening upstairs is a clear sign that I need a fucking routine to which I can stick... tomorrow I'll go and do some benching and maybe try to re-establish the fact that I'm trying to go for volume.

Haven't squatted seriously in God-knows how long. I don't have the mental resolve at the moment, which I guess is due to my being in a state of limbo for my future. Won't angst about that here, though. Got other venues for that.

Ran into and lifted with a dude from high school. Not exactly a fan of him, but hey, whatever. I'll take any acquaintance. He made a comment like 'man how much did you deadlift,' which I always like. I guess my ego is a little too easily stroked. Liked it when someone commented on how much I was pressing a few weeks back, too.

I think I'm fat. Thinking I should actually try to cut. Unfortunately, I can't get into a pattern for cardio, which means that efforts there may be misguided for the moment. Might actually be time to consider the 'bulk in winter, cut in summer' philosophy now, though I've enjoyed wearing T-shirts in the sub-freezing weather lately.
