Notes:

  • Tempo OHP is so hard on the shoulders it’s crazy. Doing like 1-2 stops during the rep with like 1s pause. Had to figure out a bit the right weight.
  • I still learn front squats. It takes me like a few tries to get into position so it won’t sit on my shoulder bone. Right now it’s because of a wrist flexibility. I can stretch them enough, just that after the set my fingers feel sore.
  • I have to catch my breath after the AMRAPs, they really take my oxygen away. On upper lifts I’m okay but lower body lifts…
  • Everything goes smooth currently. I’m basically on the same bodyweight for a couple of months really, but I still seem to get more buffed.
  • Still doing 5x10 pull ups on upper body days, I don’t want to give up on pull ups, and they’re pretty easy anyway.
  • Wide grip bench press is also easy weight. Did it with a pause because it felt easy but I didn’t want to up the weight for now.

Notes

  • Overall good week for lower body, average week for upper body.
  • On bench day I was very tired, I slept only like 4h and I was yawning at the workout, so I only managed to get 90x7 instead of like 10.
  • OHP day was also kinda weird, don’t know what was up. I expected to do 10 reps also but I got short. I guess sleep from day 2 was the issue here.
  • Day 3 I did less sets for front squat because I started feeling some nagging pain at my right knee (I opened a post about it). Also during leg extensions at the really stretched position I felt some pain, so I dropped it as well.
  • Because of my nagging pain on my right knee, I’m going to probably take a deload week and avoid doing any heavy lifting. I don’t feel much fatigue. Next week would be the second wave of Bullmastiff, which at the start is a small deload, but I would do a stricter deload.

Starting now my 6th week of Bullmastiff. Here are some cool AMRAPs from the last 2 weeks after doing 4x5 before every AMRAP:

Squats: Week 4 - 112.5x10, Week 5 - 120x9.

BP: Week 4 - 80x12, Week 5 - 87.5x11.

Deadlift: Week 4 - 140x12, Week 5 - 155x9.

OHP: Week 4 - 50x16, Week 5 - 57.5x10.

All of these AMRAPs are not actually “As Many”, but like with 2 reps left in the tank because I don’t see a reason right now to go to failure.

S/D I wanted to be better, so lets see how this week will go.

On OHP I’m very strong, I didn’t expect myself doing 50x16 after 4x5. Bench is also going strong.

My BW now is 83.5kg. I’ve gained some fat at my belly, not something I’m used to see lol. I didn’t do any aerobic for a few weeks so I guess that’s why I gained fat. Still have abs though.
