There’s probably silver linings in lockdown if we look for em. I’ll just complain tho
Honestly, I’d rather be at home right now.
Apparently I’m at high risk of developing complications from covid because diabetes.
Stop it with ur silver linings. I want to squat with Monolift every day. 
Friday work out: weight: 86kg
Sumo DLs: 5x10 @ 140kg
Accessory:
Face pulls, tricep extensions, lateral raises and curls.
Notes:
I enjoying sumo pulls at the moment, conditioning was a bit of a let down,
Lower body pump was on point though.
Diet hasn’t been great the last couple of days, been at home sitting in the couch constantly snacking.

Notes:
Things went pretty well, I’m kind of surprised my back hasn’t had any issues with pulling off the floor so regularly.
Pressing is awkward at the moment, I can’t get into a good position.
I might work on cleaning technique so I can press a bit better.

Sumo DL: 10 @ 180kg (I think that’s a sumo PR too)
BOR: 10 @ 80,100,100kg
Pushups: 3x20 @ +10kg
Goblet squats: 3x20 @ 20kg
Accessory:
Face pulls, lateral raises and curls.
Notes:
Interesting session today, was feeling really low and unmotivated.
After the top set of sumo I felt great though (regretted not going for more reps, reckon I could have pulled 14 before form break down).
Trying to add a weight on my back for pushups felt awkward but It worked.
I’m still amazed there’s been no back issues with all the work it’s been getting, not that I’m complaining.
Wednesday work out was skipped, dogs done something to her front leg(s) and is booked in for x-rays tomorrow.
Rearrange the house so she’s not jumping on/off anything to much.

Sumo is the way to enlightenment: getting strong so all the weights feel light

Enjoying sumo at the moment, might even consider switching it to my main pull.
How wide out are your feet?
Dunno how useful it is to you but I’m about 10-15cm from the plates either side. I moved it out a few months ago. Is individual though and tends to change over time as people get more flexible by performing the movement consistently.
If you’re relatively new to sumo I’d recommend whatever is comfortable for now. For general strength I wouldn’t push out wider than where you have vertical shins at the start. This could end up being quite wide depending on how long ur femurs are and how flexible you are.

Snatch grip DLs: 2x15 @ 120kg
Push ups: 2x30 @ BW
Shrugs: 2x30 @ 20kg (plate)
Accessory:
Face pulls and tricep extensions.
Notes:
Quick session tonight, had DOMs in the abs.
Weight moved pretty quick, weight felt light but got a pretty good back pump.
Rack/stands are due to come Monday, so workout will be more of a play around with the new set-up.
Dog update.
Poor pups got arthritis in both front elbows.
So combined with her allergy tablets, meal prep time is longer than mine lol
Tuesday work out:
RDLs: 10 @ 140,150,160kg
Push Ups: 2x30 @ +10kg
Accessory:
Face pulls, tricep extensions, curls and lateral raises.
Notes:
Rack still hasn’t arrived but it’s apparently at the Melbourne Depo so shouldn’t be to far away.
Dead lifts felt pretty easy/smooth. Which is a good sign.
Work out wasn’t to hectic because I’m still planning to play around with the rack once it comes.

How are you doing ur accessory work?
Any way possible lol I’m using Bands for a lot of stuff (face pulls, tricep work).
Just used plates for raises ( I’ve got tri-grip ones)
Generally all ends up bring high reps with little rest.

Hopefully. I don’t think I’ll ever take machines and other things for granted again. Leg press, ham curls etc. you can smash all day and grow. Not sure what the neat equivalent for overall posterior chain development. Who knows I might impulse buy something if restrictions keep getting pushed on
Thursday work out:
Pause squats: 3 @ 140,150,160kg
Squats: 15 @ 140kg
OHP: 10 @ 40,50,60kg
BOR: 3x15 @ 80kg
Accessory:
Lateral raises and curls.
Notes:
Set the rack up, was pretty simple.
Un-racking the weight felt a bit shaky but squatting down felt solid and fairly easy.
Was planning to hit 8-10 on the 140kg squat but things were feeling pretty easy do I pressed on.
Might have over done it though, quads are thoroughly fried.
