Amrap 20min: (10bench-20kg+10box hops)

Just for fun: squat- 1x50-40kg @T3hPwnisher I can do 50reps at body weight! It wasn’t even crushing. I should find a time to do the 100rep deadlift thing sometime

  • computer broke so had steam to blow off and time to do so, felt really good- amrap not too intense but got hr up and felt quick, pull-ups easier than expected- pumped back, incline press felt pretty heavy but not too hard to complete
    Knees pretty sore so probably only easy cardio today

I would absolutely die before I got close to 50 reps at body weight. So congratulations on that! Seems like a big accomplishment

Weight: 41kg- looks like the ‘water retention’ is here to stay, at least I still fit into my belt and I’ve gotten stronger

Week 1: Day 1
Squat: 1x10-45, 1x8-55, 1x6-60, 3x5-70, 3x5-65
Bench: 1x10-30, 1x8-35, 3x6-45, 3x5-50

  • didn’t feel too bad physically but mentally out of it, squats felt pretty good- sets of 70 pretty hard to get through but not too bad, definitely stronger, bench felt good- happy that 50x5s not a problem

@Pinkylifting I kind of want a mental break from lifting but I’m going on a short vacation in 2 weeks where I’ll only have access to a crappy hotel gym at best. What should I do?

I see absolutely no sign of water retention from that photo.

That’s what I thought- hence the quotes

Pictured above: zero water retention.

It bears repeating. Accept your gains for what they are.

What are your thoughts on the ‘mental burnout’ thing. Should I just suck it up?

1835

Sheiko is honestly so far away from how I would train that I really couldn’t say what to do in such a situation. I still think you’d do better using something like what Brian Alsruhe builds, just because you wouldn’t have to sneak conditioning in any more.

1836

I looked at his programs and idk if I’m ready for them :sweat_smile:

1837

Why don’t you just rest for couple days? 5-7 days at least. Absolutely nothing will happen to your strenght and weight.

1838

If you don’t know already, overtraining your nervous system can cause stress-related breakdowns just like any other form for stress. You can literally train yourself into a major psychological crack-up.

And you are ripe for it, the way you train. Maybe that is not what is going on here, but you wouldn’t be the first person to confuse a “mental burnout” with a physical one.

Looks like you have your lifting break set up just fine. Don’t train in the crappy hotel gym and take your break.

They’re all based around your own abilities. Shouldn’t be something you can’t do. You’re working up to a daily max, then using that percentage to do some supplemental work. Before and after that is conditioning.

If not being ready is the only thing preventing you from doing them, you’re ready. If there’s other reasons, that’s fine too.

That’s honestly such a good shout, I don’t know why I didn’t think of it.

I’d agree that you are 100% ready for one of Brians programs. I’m about to complete my third crack at his stuff, and you’re way more disciplined with your conditioning effort than I am. If you use his free templates from YouTube, there’s a little lee-way built into the programs to adapt them to suite your needs.

There is comfort in routine. Break out. Have fun.

Your routines will be there for you when you get back.
