Hammer curls, hammer-grip chins, farmer’s walks, ab wheel, cable crunches and a metric fuckton of trap work to finish.
I did 33 chins yesterday and 36 today and it seems my forearms and elbows can’t handle this. No worries, I’ll just drop the chin challenge until I go below 100kg and use hammer-chins as regular training for a while now.
Basic warm-up routine with random stuff to get the blood flowing + inverted rows + activation and potentiation for bench.

Chins randomly between sets. I’ll probably have to tune the percentages a bit and simply go by feel or RPE measures each workout. 90% of 2RM seemed to tire me out A TON more than it should and I could just barely finish 6 reps on mTor activation with little-to-no activation in the right places. I’d rather take a smaller percentage here and actually work what is needed.
Fury is back with after almost three years of fucking around. Currently recovering from a slighlty torn right pectoral muscle and a myriad of shoulder injuries all on the right side. Easing back into training with a light-ish leg workout today before heading to work for the night. Independence day and pre-Christmas parties during the same weekend in a Finnish bar. Fvck ave.
Right now I’m still having some trouble with leg training due to deteriorating lumbar spine discs and vertebrae. According to MRI’s, the spine is entirely fine but because doctors have refused to treat it for so long, there apparently is some permanent nerve damage which can be set off by looking at my spine wrong.
Switching flat bench for paused incline from now on, apparently I can handle that just fine but any kind of straight horizontal pressing is off limits.

Switching power shrugs to regular shrugs with 3s pauses to bring down the weight. Switching chin-assists to pulldowns and pulldowns to pullovers to minimize tension on my bicep tendons which seem to be on fire after today’s workout.
