Some nice work there mate. Think how many more reps you would have done if you drank black coffee :sunglasses:

Work for today:

5 rounds of:

5 push ups
200m(?) Run
5 burpees
200m(?) Run

This sucked. My conditioning is awful. I was wondering if my conditioning had somehow got non-sucky, or if I was just aiming too low with my workouts. Definitely the latter. More focus back on these quick 10-20min sessions should go a long way to fixing it, I hope.

The conditioning being awful is its way to tell you to stop that nonsense.

I see you didnā€™t learn your lesson with the ā€œleg blasterā€ :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

The lesson being that I suck? Iā€™ve learned that one already.

@anna_5588 Thereā€™s a video showing it further up in my log. Basically those lumberjack chop things you see people do but with a band attached to a kettlebell on the floor.

@Frank_C Iā€™m trying to cycle through rep ranges: 3-5-8-10-15 but I missed today.

Work for today:

Kettlebell swings:
5 x 15 @ 24kg

Deadlift:
3 x 70kg
3 x 110kg
3 x 130kg
3 x 140kg
3 x 150kg
0 x 160kg

SLDL:
3 x 8 @ 110kg

Pendlay death march:
80 ā€œstepsā€ @ 18kg

Back extensions:
2 x 20

Notes:

  • Felt absolutely exhausted today. Strength was shot. Cut the giant set format in the hope that would still allow me to get my strength work in. Certainly considering a quick deload for the remainder of the week.
  • I do like this set up for deadlift day though. May have to invest in heavier matching sets of kettlebells for the death march though, will have to see how my clumsy supersize dbs work.

Thatā€™s an abrupt miss coming from a triple with 150kg. Was the 150kg RPE 10

Nope. Fairly easy. 150 x 5 the week before was close to an RPE 10. This is whatā€™s leading me towards a mini deload. Shits feeling heavy and shaky that has no business at all feeling heavy.

Ye 150x5 works out > 160kg. To be fair u canā€™t expect to be training hard enough to gain strength efficiently without accumulating enough fatigue to mask ur true 1RM readiness. Deload is when ur fatigue is high enough / readiness has dropped low enough that u arenā€™t getting a good stimulus like 70% 1RM is feeling shitty

Youā€™re probably right. Add to that the fact that Iā€™ve always been much better pulling for reps than singles and maybe I shouldnā€™t be too suprised.

In other news: a few hours later and my hamstrings, especially the left one, have started cramping. I think that death march does something.
