@ChongLordUno - lol! Yeah bodyweight hasn’t definitely jumped. Will get that sorted.
Have some good meals in London?
I would imagine that the choice would be endless.
Whenever I visit the city I find it hard to resist. Dumplings, fried chicken, udon soup and bubble tea are my weakness!

Not much to report this week at all, no training highlights to speak of. Ate a lot in London and my bodyweight spiked, but appears to be coming back down ok.

Trapbar Deadlift/Press - Superset

Just a brief gym session today. The trapbar deadlifts felt much heavier than they should have, but that’s ok - I will hit them again later in the week with more intensity.

Nice brief run today. I wanted to keep it short so it doesn’t interfere with deadlifts tomorrow.

Boom, that felt good! 265kg (584lb) trapbar deadlift personal record, and honestly I know I was good for a little more. A very ugly rep, but bar speed was decent. I followed it with a set of 20 beltless then called it a session. Very very happy with that.

The highlight of this week was the big trapbar PR (265kg/584lbs), but I’m also happy with how that bodyweight session went - it felt effective, but much less…crushing. I think I’ll start doing more bodyweight-only sessions.

I’m coming down with a cold but felt like doing something. Both exercises were tougher than usual - I was a bit weak and my knees didn’t feel great. My running app was being weird so I didn’t get a time. Think I’ll rest tomorrow.

I was just wondering, do you have any specific running goals?
Do you run on any particular surface? Grass? Dirt? Pavement?
Personally I have a love/hate relationship with running. I don’t run much at the moment, although considering adding it to my program. I often find it does not take much do over-do it and get an injury.

This was reasonable for having been off training for a week with a cold - it’s actually been 17 days since I last did conventional deadlifts due to a run on the trapbar. I went for more reps but failed on the 3rd then 2nd. Knees were a bit creaky on the pistol squats.
@theBird - Hey man, I have no ambitions whatsoever with my running. I run because I like how it feels (over short distances) and I feel it is a basic ability that I should maintain, so its quite easy to enjoy it. I think if I put pressure on myself then I would quickly begin to hate it, and I find it very easy to over-do it too. I run on pavement but only because I live in a city, I’d prefer to run on trails if there were some nearby (like where I stayed in 2017).

This week was a bit of a write-off due to my cold, but that’s fine. Bodyweight is creeping up again.

This was a bit slow, but I still have a cold so that’s fine. Knees and calves were feeling it by the end.

Nice brief full-body session. I’m happy with how it went considering I’m still suffering from this cold. I’m sure that’s a default beltless trapbar PR.

Ugh those deadlifts felt very heavy, and I’m getting fat. The bodyweight stuff was ok though.
