TRAINING SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

So Friday night was the company Christmas party (called the Holiday party, because we can't say Christmas apparently...). Anyway, went to a coworker's house afterwards for some brews and definitely was tired on Saturday...just took it easy:

SATURDAY:
Chin-ups: Bodyweight x 10, x10, x6, x8, x6, x6
Squat: Lots....worked up to 365x2, then did a bunch of sets of 345x2 (all no belt)
Plate-loaded row: 215x5, 215x6...feeling the fatigue
Behind-the-neck press: 135x6, 185x3, x3

SUNDAY (feeling much better):
Zercher Squat: 95x10, 135x6, 185x5, 225x4, 275x3, 295x2 (PR!), 315x2 (PR!!), 315x2, 285x3
Log Press: 135x8, 155x5, 175x4, 195x3, 215x2 (PR!), 205 @ 3sets, 2 reps each
Incline Dumbbell press: 65x8, 85x10, 95x5, 90x5, 90x3
(could not get properly set up on the incline bench, so these sucked)
Neck Extension: 50x15, x15, x15 (recently had to buy new dress shirt neck size, yay!)
Reverse Barbell Curl, just for fun: 65x6, 85x12, x10, x10

Saturday was technically the start of my deload, or "off-week."  I don't like to take too much time off anymore, just because I don't really psych myself up for any lifts anymore, I don't feel like I'm stressing my body too much.  When you psych yourself up for heavy weights, that is a form of stress on your body.  So I think I can lift consistently in the gym without getting burnt out.  I do use my "off-week" to do whatever I feel like doing though, so I have fun with it.  See ya everybody.
