Anna's Training Log Part 2 (Part 1)

I’m a super protective uncle. Some times it spills over to non-nieces. :man_shrugging:

That and I would slap the life out of 20 yr. old me if I met him today.

nothing good happens after 10pm.

Being up after 10:00 pm greatly increases risk of pregnancy.

But being down after 10:00 pm is how it happens!

yeah… it kind of sucks…

agreed

pls explain

Week 6: Day 3

30min weighted walk- a little more than 1.5 miles
Press: 3x(10military press+10regular press)-25lbs
Rows: 5x10/side-25lbs, no rest

  • pretty tired physically but really wanted to do something so put on the pack, press sucked more than expected, so too with rows, skipped extra conditioning

It’s a play on text speak. DTF.

Week 6: Day 4

Deadlift: 8x10, 1x17,3-175lbs
Lunges: 1x10 alternating- 95,105,115
Air squats: 5x50 w/30 sec rest

  • felt a bit crap going in, but decided to get the work done anyways to teach my body a lesson. the deadlifts were quite a bit easier than expected- will cut rest or increase weight next time. disappointed that I didn’t get 20 reps,
  • lunges and air squats felt good

Can’t make that stuff up.

I think your body is teaching you a lesson and you’re failing class.

The logic is that if I make it work hard when it doesn’t want to, it’ll get used to it and stop complaining. Seems to have worked bc I got the work done. Still need some work on this front though. I find myself making excuses too often (reducing reps, rounds, sets…)

With that said, I’m taking today off. More as a mental break than anything… and so I can crush my presses tomorrol

Week 6: Day 5

10x(30m farmer walk/side-45lbs+20 pushups+30m farmer walk/side-45lbs+20 air squats)
6x30m farmers walk/side
Curls: 1x100-25lbs!!!

  • felt good enough and pretty excited to do something so put this quick one, got HR up a bit, pushups were honestly the hardest part, actually felt a lot LESS sore after this

Yeah that logic is faulty at best.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
Also just getting the work done for the moment is no confirmation at all! At least not for someone planning ahead more than half a step at a time.

We find yourself not making adequate progress in your thought constructs.

Week 6: day 6

Bench: 3x(10 w/ 1sec pause-75lbs+ 20 close grip push-ups), 3x(1-5sec pause+1-4sec pause+1-3sec pause+ 1-2sec pause+ 1-1sec pause+5touch and go)-65lbs
Seal row: 1x50-22.5lb dbs
Btn press: 2x10-45lbs
Face pulls: 2x(10-27lbs+10-22lbs+10-16lbs)
2x(30m bear crawl+30m lunges+30m high skips)

  • woke up pretty tired but felt good once I finished the walk to the gym, decided to do something different and bench- wow I suck… go a good shoulder and tricep pump, seal rows worked upper back, btn press blew up shoulders, face pulls felt good
  • the “conditioning” wasn’t too hard on cv but bear crawls really suck, got pretty lightheaded. Also turns out doing them on asphalt in 90 degree heat isn’t a good idea… wanted three rounds but literally got burns on hand

It actually didn’t hurt that much, but I didn’t want to make my hands useless so I stopped

Uhh yeah - I don’t walk my dog on asphalt in 90 degree heat despite him having pads on his paws. Lesson learned for next time, I suppose.

Copied from Flame Free:

I spent most of 2019- early 2020 benching 4-5x/week and still didn’t gain even a kilo on it…

Less benching would be beneficial to improving it. Too much volume.

Pushups between sets probably don’t help either.

We don’t use the “F” word in this log

Anna, you crazy girl, you would be unstoppable if you could just have an actual lifting plan and the will to eat enough to support it. I hope you will figure it out one day.
