Weā€™ll be fine mate. Wolverine is unkillable

Work for today:
100 clean and press (60kg) in ~30mins

Notes:

  • Full disclosure, didnā€™t set an alarm on my phone for 30mins, so its give or take a few minutes.
  • Went in with no real expectations, just set a stopwatch and started going. Started doing singles with about 10s rest, then doubles, then triples, then dropped down or up depending on how i was feeling. Threw a few 5s in there too, if i was nearing a big goal, but regretted it everytime. Looked at the clock with about 10mins to spare and realised 100 was in site if i upped my pace slightly so stopped moving in between sets and just stood at the bar.

Sunday. Planning to use 115 lbs (52 kg), but wonā€™t be taking every rep from the floor, just the first one of each setā€”thatā€™ll be hard enough, haha.

If iā€™m honest, i think youā€™ll get less value from that. Youā€™re shifting a greater proportion of the work from your big muscles to your small muscles, so youā€™ll be able to get less work done before fatigue limits you.

Making them push presses vs presses went a long way in resolving this for me.

Congrats on getting after it dude!

Interesting point. I did a bunch of clusters (with only 95 lbs) yesterday, and it took me nearly 20 minutes just to get 52 reps at that weight. Granted I was also doing pull-ups in between and clusters add the front squat motion, but I was as sweaty as I have been in awhile and fighting to survive.

Food for thoughtā€¦ Itā€™ll be a game-time decision on Sunday, I suppose.

I did half push presses. I get a slight dip as i catch the powerclean, then reverse that to start the press so iā€™m not getting as much out of it as a full push press, but itā€™s definitely not strict.

@SvenG i was deliberately keeping well away from muscular failure on every set because i knew i needed to be ready to go again in about 10secs. For context, iā€™m pretty sure my rep max with this weight would be well into double figures, i may have even done 21 at this weight before as part of a 21-15-9 rep scheme.

@kd13 thanks man. I can do better, especially with simple changes like adding collars and having chalk.

Work for today:
Squat:
5 x 70kg
3 x 90kg
3 x 100kg
5 x 110kg

Paused squat (ss. 5 jump squats)
3 x 5 @ 100kg

Push Press:
6 x 8 @ 70kg

Notes:

  • Squats felt awful. Not because of the movement, but i really didnā€™t anticipate how fucking sore my traps were. It was painful holding the bar on my back. Hated that.
  • Push Presses felt worse. That was too heavy, fuck that was difficult.
