10 Miles Back Again

I didn’t time it, no. I reckon somewhere around the 20-25min mark, based purely on when I went out to the garage and came back in. Big margin for error there.

I have many, many words to describe how awful that was but I’m just going to straight out say 80kg was too heavy for me and leave it at that.

Edit: actually, I’m not. Fuck it, I’m proud of that. Worked my balls off there so I’m going to bask in the glow a little bit. Or I will when this headache wears off.

Hell yeah on the edit. Celebrate these things.

And energy drink with excederin is my go to for post squat, haha.

That was the last thing I did before sleep so that seems to have sorted me out.

Oh man, I’d be too worried of nightmares to try to pull that off, haha.

I don’t think I’ve ever remembered a dream, so it doesn’t worry me too much. I assume I have them, but as soon as I’m awake, they’re gone.

Work for today:

Swings: 5 x 15 @ 24kg

Jumps: 3 x5

TB press:
5 x 30kg
5 x 40kg
5 x 45kg
8 x 47.5kg

Push press:
10 x 60kg
6 x 60kg
4 x 60kg

Giant set (5 rounds):
10 x TBDL (115kg)
10 dips
10 rows (60kg)

Notes:

  • Just did absolute programmed essentials today, was not feeling it at all.
  • Did squat jumps instead of broad jumps today because it was like a monsoon outside. Not quite the same stimulus I don’t think, but I’ll live with that.
  • Push Press improved, I think. 20 reps was definitely an ambitious aim, not a bad goal to have in the back of my head though.
  • Giant set sucked, obviously. Dips are feeling smoother and smoother though, really enjoying how those are progressing.
  • Cheated nutrition after this. Used whole milk instead of semi skimmed, so I’m expecting Layne Norton to come knocking on my door later to ask me what the fuck is going on.

Very brave if you- I’d be too afraid of leg cramping if I did anything like that before bed

I don’t really suffer from cramps, I’m pretty lucky like that.

That’s awesome then

The one time I decided to squat close to bedtime, my quads and hamstrings cramped and when I went to stretch them out, my calves cramped

That’s probably something to do with electrolytes or something. Someone smart would know.

Looks like you are on a really good track as of late. Must be all the running.

Thanks man, I think it’s the front squats. You should try them.

I was, of course, joking. If you tried them, you’d beat me at that too, then all I’d have to hang on to is the remains of my hair.

I dunno, that Juarez thingy you did up there looked like it would suck. I prefer my front squats to be light and very comfortable, and also absent from my training.

If you two old boomers (I’ve recently been called a boomer because I can’t keep up with my classmates lingo, so I’m going with that) had a YouTube channel consisting of videos of the two of you sitting in arm chairs next to a fire place just to exchange low key insults, I would absolutely watch it.
Just wanted you to know that, @dagill2 @Cyrrex. .

It did. A lot. I’m trying to do more things that I avoid because they suck, like running and front squats. Haven’t quite cracked the abs or curls thing yet though.

@Koestrizer get my agent on the phone, we’ve got a program to make.
