This was done in very heavy rain and following my work Christmas night out, so I’m just happy that I got something done.

A nice simple session today. I supersetted the sprints with the pistol squat singles, then added two sets of 5 at the end. It’s been ages since I last touched a kettlebell - the swings felt good.

This is the furthest I have ran in a long time, and it felt good. Bodyweight is unacceptably high though.

Bodyweight: 98.5kg
Training: 2 runs, 1 gym, 1 home
Nutrition: Poor
The training highlight this week was the 6.6km (4.1mile) run, and I’m also glad I got some deadlifts done.
I need to get my bodyweight in check so next week I’ll cut out all sugar, alcohol and snacks, and that should get me in a better position heading into Christmas. I won’t be strict over Christmas itself but I need to do some damage limitation.

Just a brief home workout. My hips and lower back are pretty beat up following my recent deadlifts, I’m really considering dropping barbell lifts altogether.

I felt a bit weak during this for some reason. My hips and right knee have been uncomfortable since the deadlifts last Friday and my usual hip circle routine didn’t help, but last night I did some fairly intense quad and hip flexor stretches and that made a huge difference. So I need to remember that.

Kettlebell Swings
40kg: 3x5 - single handed

I was going to take today off but felt a little restless so did some swings. They felt good but I’ve noticed that my neck has been a little stiff since I started reintroducing kettlebells.

Week 51 - Summary
Bodyweight: 98.7kg
Training: 4 home, 2 gym, 1 run
Nutrition: Poor
I trained most days this week, but all brief sessions. No real highlights to speak of, maybe the 48kg single handed swings for 2 sets of 10. Ate way too much crap.

A solid upper body session. My pull-ups felt weaker than previously, but I have neglected my upper body recently (and gained a kilo or two).
