Anna's Training Log Part 2 (Part 1)

Only if it has a high lols/ouch ratio. Like 70/30 or greater on the lols.

Oh man! :joy: They set the bar pretty high.

Pick your own adventure time:

a) To be fair, they aren’t doing jumping Jack’s in their native language.

b) Is that what happened to the Village People?

Week 3: Day 4

Eliptical: 30min- 5min cruise+intervals+cruise
KB Press: 3x8/arm

  • pretty tired going in but eliptical felt REALLY good. I’m definitely getting fitter since I was easily able to hold 7mph on the cruise and pushing 10.5 on the intervals, pretty intense, press not too bad, definitely a good session

This morning’s weight: 40.3kg

Week 3: Day 5

Squat: 1x5-45,55,60, 5x5-65, 3x4-60w/3sec pause at bottom
Bench: 1x10-30,35, 1x8-40, 4x6-45, 5x3-50
Wide bench: 3x5-40

Quick reminder: In your case, 30 minutes of faster eliptical time is not necessarily “getting fitter”. Your bodyweight appears to have stalled, no?

True, but at least I’m not loosing my cardio capacity

I guess?? I’ll give it another week before making any changes

@Pinkylifting

How did you manage sheiko with actual life responsibilities?

I’d imagine the heavier workouts would’ve taken at least 2hr for you to complete

I never trained over 2 hours no. sometimes I would skip the accessories I considered low value. I would also double up on the sessions, as in instead of squat bench squat in a session, I’d do squat squat bench, so I only do one set of warmups

Week 3: Day 6- yesterday’s training

Just a throw together workout

DB carry (sort of like a stone?): 2x(30m-85lb DB+30m walking lunge holding 40lb KB), 1x100m
2x(30m front rack carry/arm-40lb KB+5 pullups)
Press: 2x(3 strict+5 push press)-30kg
Front Squat: 1x10, 1x8 w/3sec pauses- 40kg, 1x6-50kg
Curls: 2x(10 wide grip+10 narrow grip)-30lbs

  • DB carry/complex pretty intense but felt good and not too hard to complete, killed upper back and forearms, pullups a lot easier than expected but press hard, front squat not too bad- really worked upper back, hip shift a bit bad, curls killed biceps

Week 4: Day 1

Squat: 1x10-45, 1x8-50, 1x6-60, 1x4-70, 1x4,3-75- REP PR!!!, 2x5, 2x3 w/3sec pauses-70
Bench: 1x6,30,35,45; 2x5,1x3-50kg REP PR!!!

  • felt a bit stiff going in but really good once I got started, really proud of rep PRs and none of them were grinders!!!

I think we need to see some videos to verify these PRs. The story around here doesn’t quite add up.

It was a good day :upside_down_face: and I had coffee for the first time in 3 weeks

What have you changed though? You started eating a little bit more I saw, but I’m surprised it would make that much of a difference that fast seeing as you barely gained any weight and still do a ton of conditioning.

If that is the case, then I bet if you dropped most or all of the conditioning, gained a few pounds, and really focused on powerlifting you would be at an elite level pretty soon.

That’s Pittsburgh slang for crystal meth, right?

Coffer&good sleep+not lifting under time pressure +might get coauthorship on a paper with a professor who practically founded the field I’m majoring in
