Took a trip into London to climb with a coach today, awesome day, really enjoyed it. I have fucked my shoulder though, hopefully it heals quickly.

Very careful choosing climbs and when to push hard today, shoulder is still pretty painful.

Pretty good session, did more difficult climbs, just avoided any positions that hurt my shoulder

Work for today:

Deadlift: worked up to a single at 140kg

Flexion rows: some
Lat pulldowns ss. Straight arm lat pulldowns: some
Face pulls: some
Curls: for the girls

Shoulder felt slightly sore, but no sharp pain on any of this. Did feel a bit of unusual weakness in the face pulls though.

Work for yesterday:

Bench (W1):
5 x 5 @ 77.5kg

Machine incline press: some
Deficit press ups: some
Tricep pushdowns: some

Notes:

  • Lots of work arounds in this one. Shoulder felt fine with pressing, but terrible for every triceps exercise that i usually use, so lots of experimenting to find one that works.
  • Knee was painful just to walk, so was an absolute no go for squatting.
  • Bench felt a bit worse than normal with sore biceps and back. Not a major issue, just something to remember.

Decent mix of styles and grades. Not much very difficult stuff though. Feel like i’m climbing pretty well at the minute, it’s feeling good.

Straight into:

Bench:
2 x 5 @ 80kg

Incline machine press: some

Pec dec: some

Notes:

  • Pretty good climbing session, far bit of trying hard. Although my gym seems to have decided to crush everyones egos by sandbagging (nearly) everything in sight.
  • Quick bench session straight after. Was feeling super fatigued and all working sets felt terrible. Cut it short after 2 sets because it was feeling terrible and just did more pump work.

This felt like trash. Its amazing how a week off affects everything, haven’t climbed this badly in years.

Run before work

May do another after work, depending on soreness and weather.

I have been training, but not logging since Christmas, however its proving harder to keep consistent without a record.

Long term (fully aware this is about the 3000th long term plan i’ve made in this log), i think the aim is to do 2 lifting sessions a week, 2 climbing specific sessions a week and 2 cardio (mostly running) sessions a week. That seems like an absolutely manageable baseline, and anything else can be considered extra. I don’t think i’m missing many bases there in terms of long term health and happiness, and it’s 100% sustainable barring enormous life changes that i don’t anticipate.

Thats too many numbers, i can’t count that high without using my fingers.

You’d need at least nine fingers.

Advanced maths. I’d need some preworkout for that kind of stuff.
