Nice work. Almost time to bump the weights up a bit?

3425

Nope, follow the plan. 1s week next week at 55kg, so guaranteed PR

Gotcha. How many you aiming for?

3427

I usually hit 8 on my 1s week, so thatā€™s not a bad goal. That would tell me that things are ticking over nicely.

Nice job staying in the pocket. More gains to come

Yeah, Iā€™m being bizarrely sensible and restrained recently, I think I might be ill.

Work for today:

20mins step trainer
Some pull ups
20mins airdyne

Notes:

  • No ab work because apparently those few sets I did yesterday did enough to make me uncomfortably sore.
  • Borrowed headphones off my better half, who must have the same size ears as a hamster because there was no way they were staying in my ears. I think some usable headphones will go a long way to making these cardio sessions more bearable and effective.

My gym is surprisingly busy at 6am, not a lot of cardio machines at all, and certainly none free.

Your membership pack is in the post :wink:

Donā€™t know what types of earbuds youā€™ve used in the past, but Iā€™m very happy with the Bose Soundsport.

3436

These were cheap ones my better half got with her phone.

I appreciate the recommendations but my list of requirements for ear buds is as follows:

  1. produce distinguishable sounds
  2. stay in my ears
3437

The Soundsports stay in my ears and come with different sized fittings. Theyā€™re high-quality with respect to design and sound, and they last awhile, so thatā€™s why I would recommend.

@Bagsy thanks for the recommendation, I found a cheap pair that came with an old phone that work fine while walking around. If they still work while doing cardio, Iā€™ll just stick with those

Work for today:
Rower: 10mins of stuff

Pin press (eye height):
3 x (2-2-2) @ 60kg

Push press:
6 x 10 @ 60kg

Cable row:
Some

Rear delt harikari (3 rounds):
12 x Chest supported rear delt row
35 x hang and swing rear delt ā€œraiseā€

Assisted dips:
50 total reps

Ab machine:
Fucking nope

Notes:

  • Forgot what I actually did on the rower, but it was far from balls to the wall, just to warm up.
  • Pin press feels like itā€™s doing good things, but weā€™ll have to see the results after a few more weeks
  • Already deeply regret choosing this progression scheme for push presses because these are really unpleasant. In a good, these are definitely doing something way though.
  • Weird pins and needles feeling in one of my hands doing cable rows. Not had that before, and it wasnā€™t exactly heavy weights. Will keep an eye on that.
  • The rear delt thing was a spur of the moment decision. For some reason I forgot how un fun hang and swing sets are on their own, so I decided to pre-exhaust my rear delts. What a shitting error, that hurt
  • Still sucky at dips. Not too clear how much the rest of the workout makes me sucky at dips or whether Iā€™m just sucky at dips.
  • Ab machine was a no, thought i was fine going in to it but as soon as I started moving i realised i was still deeply, painfully sore from whenever i last did ab work so sacked it off.

6 sets of 10? Thatā€™s pretty good work. What is the progression that you are pre-complaining about?

3440

This is why I always take a photo, never going to remember something as dull as what I did for cardio.

Such a fun sounding word for something so dark.

This the 100 rep Ben progression?

3441

It is indeed, obviously with lower weight increases.

@Cyrrex, Alex got it in one.

10 (?) week progression starting at 6 x 8 @ 60kg and working up to 10 x 10 @ 70kg. To say Iā€™m not looking forward to it would be an understatement.

3442

You kids and your fancy rep schemes.

3443

I did that for trap bar deads once, horrific.

Getting 10x10 ar 70kg would be impressive :+1:
