Lifted today:
Bench
2 x 5 @ 100, 1 x 5+ @ 100 (10 reps)
Deadlift
1 x 5+ @ 205 (12 reps)
Then 3 sets of 23 burpees with 1 minute rest between sets. Still finishing inside of the time limit, so I'll be adding another rep tomorrow! We took 2 burpee holidays this past week, but I think I'm 17 or 18 for the last 19 or 20 days. It's definitely pretty hard now, so we may be taking a break or two every week, but we're aiming to keep going through the summer.
Later this afternoon we played about 75 minutes of tennis, which replaced my daily walk (walked about 30-45 minutes Tuesday through Sunday). I'm really enjoying having an active commute again!

Back to regularly scheduled programming yesterday:
Press
2 x 5 @ 75, 1 x 5+ @ 75 (14 reps)
Squats
2 x 5 @ 140, 1 x 5+ @ 140 (10 reps)
Also well into the 100-day burpee challenge (I think we just finished day 15) - did 3 sets of 22 with a minute's rest in-between. After squatting for the first time in 2 weeks. Ugly.
This week's frequency method work (Tuesday to Friday) is 5 sets 15 pushups and 5 sets 3 pullups.

Been moving, honeymooning, and then moving again for 2 weeks. Diet has not been fantastic and the wine has been plentiful (we were in Sonoma Valley for awhile), but it's been pretty fun! Other than some hiking and the moving, the only active things we've done is starting a 100-day burpee challenge last week: we started with 3 sets of 10 with 1 minute rest and have been increasing by 1 burpee every day. Today we were wiped after moving so we took 2 minutes between sets; we'll get back on our regular rest schedule tomorrow, hopefully.
Went to the La Crosse farmer's market today for the first time and loaded up on all manner of bison, poultry, and pig; pretty soon we're going to invest in a chest freezer so we can get that half pig and 50 pounds of beef, hella cheap (and all sustainably raised, of course)! Next week we'll get back to lifting, now that we have our garage gym set up again...

Did frequency method stuff Monday through Friday last week, both my pullups and pushups are feeling pretty good these days. Yesterday I did
Press
2 x 5 @ 85, 1 x 5+ @ 85 (8 reps)
Deadlift
1 x 5+ @ 210 (12 reps)
Been feeling eh about the press recently. First time deadlifting with the belt, it was a little strange but I liked how it kept my back in the right position throughout the set.
