Notes:
- Extended this slightly beyond what was planned because I’m expecting not to train lower body tomorrow and to eat plenty. Also, I was told to be out the house for a while so I had time.
- Those BBB sets are the most mentally demanding of the whole session, honestly. I really hate them, and can’t wait for them to be over.
- Squat was otherwise feeling rock solid, especially the first rep of every set. Feeling solid and well grooved now, hoping this is the right path.

BBB squats are just awful.

They were really easy when I was just doing 5 sets of 10 reps and allowing the reps to be sloppy, because they’re easy. It’s so much more difficult when I’m trying to perform every rep as if it was heavy. That’s definitely not something I’ve done before and I think it might be the missing element in the whole “BBB percentages are too easy” thing.

Right now I’m doing like 5 x 10 at 60-65% on squats and deads. Seems easy but it sucks BIG TIME

Work for today:
1hr30mins of “Ninja Warrior” play. Managed to get a video while no-one was looking.
Edit:
Turned out to be a pretty poor video, but here you go. This is the main 2 courses.

Work for this morning:
Press:
5 x 20kg
5 x 40kg
5 x 50kg
3 x 55kg
6 x 57.5kg
5 x 10 @ 37.5kg
Front Squats:
5 x 5 @ 85kg
Notes:
- Pushed for time so just did the basics. Will aim to get some kind of conditioning in later.
- Realised something during presses. Maybe the reason I’m starting to struggle with neck/trap pain is that I’ve allowed them to get weak. Will look to start including deadlifts into the program sooner rather than later.

Perhaps even MORE cleans?

Probably, eventually. I really, really rate the clean as an exercise. I think dynamic pulling on an already weak and injury-prone muscle is more risky than its worth right now though. I’d rather keep it grindy for now.

Just go with high rep trap bar deadlifts. Pretty sure I read somewhere that all us old guys should do them. Or was it something @T3hPwnisher said

It’s tough, because lifters over 30 need to get real and stay away from heavy maxes, but high rep deadlifts are dead…so what is one to do?
