Most likely won’t be happening for at least 6 weeks 
Just a suggestion buddy but can you make a sand bag? I made one that I managed to get up to 80kg. I had some large leather pillow cases, i bagged sand up in smaller bags at 10kg a bag. Then loaded those into the pillow case.
I’m sure squatting holding an 80kg sandbag plus band would be very challenging.

Yeah honestly just having an 80kgs sandband would provide terrific workouts! Cleaning this stuff, damn! I’ll look into it, plus there’s my grand-father around here and he’s very toolsy

Some cardio
• WOD Lucy
5 rounds of:
5 pull-ups
10 burpess
400m run
Time: 15:23
• Bodyweight triplet:
21-15-9
Sit-ups
Dips
Air squats
Time 3:22
And a bit of running beforehand to warm me up. My cardio sucks ahah. The pre-run was terrible, and during Lucy it was by far the hardest part. The other things felt very easy and I felt very powerful. Slaming hard and fast the bar under my nipples on pull-ups, and a great chest pump from dips
Ate sushi and a good deal of Belgian chocolate (grandparents are here). I feel disgusted and full ahahah. Yesterday I also ate absurd amounts of chocolate. Now I ate everything I “wanted”, I can go back to normal and probably a tiny minicut ahah
WODs are nice for me to be motivated to do cardio. just picked easy stuff today. Appart from that, only thing I can be bothered with is running for some reason

So, lockdown again starting friday. Apparently schools will be opened up to high school. My school is closed, and no internship either. I’m so mad. They say it’s for a month, but experience and everything tell me it will be longer. Some sources are talking of april… I have no clue about my studies, but most likely I won’t get to be a coach until 2022 lol…
Ugh, no gym, no classes, no gf, no social life anymore, I want to cry
On the bright side I went to the chiropractor yesterday and I had a slip up of the hips apparently. I fell down the stairs a month and a half ago, and I had dislocated my psoas. As a result, one leg was longer. He put it all and my spine in place. I had no idea a little falling could have such an impact. Well I guess the fact that I won’t be able to lift heavy for a long time will give ample time to my spine and hips to rest and recover…

Little session today, feeling weak and all, but it’s most likely in my head, a bit with the events, and didn’t sleep well. But on the video I look quite ripped! I’m ina good place to hibernate, and I’m sure I’ll do some damage next summer with a little cut. Isn’t it Paul Carter that said something like stay at your desired weight for 6 months. i’m at 86-87. Well If I stay there during the winter and turn 1 kg of fat into 1 kgs of muscle well I’d be ecstatic!
Anyway, bands are cumbersome. Some exercises feel good, other not at all. Really good feeling with the dips. GMs as well, went to failure and my glutes were frieeeed! BSS are not bad as well but could be better. Lots in the glutes as well
Hard to be motivated doing this, and it will be even harder at home.
So I think I’ll be doing 4-5 days of WODs/cardio and 1-2 days of “bodybuilding” training where I’ll do stuff I’ll most likely won’t be doing in WODs like BSS, face-pulls, lateral raises etc… and Probably some jumps/plyo as well

Nope. Stay 30-40 lbs above your desired weight. Or maybe it was 20-30? Then come down over six months while continuing to push for PRs.

Yeah yeah and when I was sitting to rest, defeated after the GMs to failure, she was pushing her bum right into my face doing some RDLs or shit, hard to keep the head down lol.
God I miss the gym

Ain’t you just get dun complaining about being single? That is one or two things. 1. An invitation to you, or 2. She hasn’t got to bitch about guys staring at her in a while and was trying to do a little entrapment to get her fix.
I ALWAYS tell myself it’s #1 though.

She was there with a guy so no I didn’t dare ahahah
But concerning this, I’ve been daring more, and feeling more and more confident, about many things, not just girls. I must say I’ve never felt this good mentally in my whole life.

It sounds like an awesome feeling. I’ve always been a skeered beta 
. I picked up food the other day from a bar and the waitress straight up said I was cute and she wanted my number. I’m not single, but it was so blunt and out of the ordinary that only thing I could think to say was “thank you” in the most awkward nervous way possible and walk away

Same here man ahah. Playing Dungeons and Dragons, MTG, video games etc I’m a typical nerd. Changing took a lot of time. When I say people I don’t have much confidence in me they are flabbergasted. Over time, I convinced myself they were most likely right and that I had no reason not to be confident loool
Damn son! Well you should be more confident because yeah that is a very, very rare occuring ahahah! Like a shiny pokemon

People get weird about being confident for some reason. You DESERVE to feel awesome about yourself.

30/10 - Cardio
A) Bike cycling intervals 10 rounds of 30/30
B) WOD Annie (scaled down to single-unders)
50-40-30-20-10
Single-unders
Sit-ups
Time: 5:45
C) Bike cycling moderate intensity 20 minutes
Easy conditionning session. Don’t want to start too hard, just want to be consistent, and intensity will go up naturally as I get comfortable with it.
Legs were burning hard during the intervals! Setting the bike at max resistance, I was surprised. Didn’t go too hard.
Nice little cardio WOD. Obviously much easier with single-unders, but I can’t do doubles! I’ll be doing jump rope as a warm-up everyday, to better my skill. Even there I failed maybe 4 jumps? I need to be able to do 150-200 unbroken reps before learning double-unders. Anyway, I’m still much better than when I started Crossfit lol.
Surprised by the intensity I naturally gradually built up during the steady state cardio. Legs and ehart wanted more! Not super hard, but oh my God 20 minutes is the absolute max I can do on this without getting crazy.
Glutes and quads never felt so thicc! I put my shorts on and I felt I had two hams popping out of my trunk. Right thigh is 63 cms so almost 25"! They’ve never been so big, I’m so happy! This doesn’t show that much with my height but I’m finally happy with my leg size. I feel so ready to destroy my squat numbers. Right now I’m 190 lbs. Losing a bit of weight next summer my legs will lose size but even then I’m super happy. Still remember when they were barely 21" 2 years ago.

A) 500 jump-ropes
B) Cindy 20 rounds in 19:45
I really didn’t want to train today. Slept very little, woke up at 5 for work. Did a nap during which I woke up ine the middle of a dream. My head’s been in my ass since, drank a load of diet coke and coffee. No motivation. Then I watched a video of Martin Licis and said fucki it!
Jump ropes were good, I failed maybe one or twice tops. But it is still quite cardio! I took some pauses to prevent fatigue to degrade my form too much and risk failing jump. Maybe I was going too fast.
I wanted to do push ups and pull-ups so yeah Cindy was perfect, and it limited the torture to 20 mins. Had to do pull-ups on the stone arch in my garden, so I had to grip it like if I was climbing, extra hard lol.
I thin I’m still doubting myself. I was going for 16 rounds, but fuck it! I’m a God! there!
Happy with that, heart was pounding but I wasn’t dead. Ate some nice bowl afterwards, relaly delicious.
Then, a giant chocolate bar. I’ve been eating way too much crpa this week. Soon i’ll run out of chocolate anyway. I’ll do a minicut next week.
Here are some pics from tonight, not ultra lean but I feel super strong!
